But how many pillows are needed to make a sofa? Paolo Rizzatto would answer 33! But be careful, these 33 pillows build the sofa don’t simply equip it. Metaphorically speaking, the sofa gets back to the origin of its evolution when it was nothing more than a lot of pillows on the floor or leaning […]
Anapo’s collection of tables, in the rectangular and circular version and in different sizes including a side table. Its inspiration lies in the Sixties and in a specific idea of middle-class home torn between rigour and softness, luxury and functionality, indifferent to passing fads.
In 1991, Dordoni beguns, among the firsts, a recovery process of traditional furniture by reinterpreting the classic English club sofa. Designed at the height of Minimalism, Hall collection recovers some fundamental values such as domesticity and comfort.
Design has recently begun to reread the last 80s, a period full of hedonistic sings. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba embrace this input in a collection for driade that combines some of this aesthetic hallmarks as straight cast-aluminium structure elegantly painted and damier decoration.
Laudani & Romanelli choose to rediscover the discretion of volumetric restraint. The armchair thus becomes an easy chair and a place of the individual, passepartout to forgotten customs: easy chairs around tables, in bedrooms or in vestibules.
An exercise in style, refinement and essentiality, the Megara sofa comes with suede, fabric and leather covers and features a round backrest that smoothly flows into the armrest and creates a refined detail just before meeting the seat: almost a cushion sinking into the backrest. A terminal element, a day-bed and a pouf complete the […]
A diamond changes into a seat: faceted from a thousand veins that reflect light, Meridiana transforms the lines of construction and power in lines of poetry. Suspended in its thin metal structure, it shines in its transparency or its sophisticated nuances.
“MT”, or the initials that calls these pieces designed by Ron Arad, are pronounced in English as “empty”. The void is the key element of this project. The volume, made through a rotational molding, is in fact carved and shows provocatively the inside, finished in different colors. From the typological point of view also worth […]
Fabio Novembre uses furniture design to tell intense and fascinating stories in which the protagonist is often the human figure. This human figure is capable of becoming abstract and universal, able to propose a mythic beauty as occurred in Greek art. So that Nemo, a face with classic features is hollowed out to create an […]
The Tokyo-Pop collection marks, in 2002, the debut on the international scene by Tokujin Yoshioka, now considered one of the masters of contemporary design. The sofa, the armchair and especially the chaise longue and the stool, forget the banality of rotational molding to become sculptures. Unforgettable and unusual shapes.
In a table, oval means perfect: no edge, no head of the table, no diner and, above all, a form expanded in space. Antonia Astori balance then the top elegant simplicity with a sculptural base made of a malleable as contemporary material.
The sectional sofa is the theme characterizing typological design since the 90s of last century. Ludovica and Roberto Palomba confront it, emphasizing the sense of suspension from the ground, thanks to a thin metal structure and developing, in the version with terminals, a great peninsula from the gracefully asymmetric shape.
Many years ago, at its beginning, Lord Yo was simply a polypropylene easy chair with an aluminum structure, now it’s an icon. Recognized and recognizable anywhere and by anyone. It took Philippe Starck to carry out such an extraordinary stunt, built with soft curves and raised back, almost a throne, and slightly bent legs. Then […]
