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.
Where do you think mermaids would seat, into the blue, while rolling up their long tails? Certainly not on rationalist thrones or minimalist stools, perhaps on ancient rocks shaped by the sea. To this fantasy world seems inspired Tokujin Yoshioka – names of objects are never random – by building a seat as a mysterious […]
The design of the Mingx collection issues from the same tubular profile that also inspired the bookcase zigzag, and develops into an extensive family of elements: seats, stools and tables, which establish a harmonious mutual dialogue that also extends to the bookcase. the name Mingx clearly refers to the Ming dynasty that most influenced the […]
Obtained form the ancient wax casting technique, Miss Lacy represents and makes accessible a baroque lace by transforming it into an embracing shell. Characterized by the expertly pierced shiny mirrored stainless steel. A true jewel than to a functional object.
“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 […]
Neoz sofas, bed and day-bed emphasize the formal charateristics of the collection they belong to, by building a sort of living nest marked by the hem-stitched tissue whiteness, like past laundry, and the cushions’ softness. Large wheels, though, suggest it as an only termporary luxe.
Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez are known for their aplomb in treating furniture as a global decorative topic. Their pieces evoke a sedimented ?living culture rooted in borgeois comfort and hospitality. S.MARCO chair, MERAN armchair and VIGILIUS collection mirror the charming image of those spaces, once called fumoir.
As a master in architecture, the Japanese, Ito has proposed few but extraordinary design works. Suki armchair, designed in 1987, is one of them: an object made mysterious by the use of a double steel mesh row intersected by many springs. This is an ideological Manifesto but, unpredictably comfortable.
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.
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 […]
Camouflage is an outdoor collection that includes a high and low armchair, a table and small table, all made of aluminium. in these sculptured elements the geometrical design of the structure frames the elaborated fretworked decoration.
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.
Antonia Astori calls ‘memory furniture’ those pieces which tell something about people attention to indoor living. An attention expressed both by the recovery of disappeared archetypes, eg. canopy bed, and in precious materials manufacturing, eg. pleached roped steel headboard.
