Successful completion to the generous shapes of the famous Lord Yo armchair, Lord Yi table is surprising for its simplicity and the clear composition of the parties, deliberately signaled in his tripartite division of base, shaft and top.
Here it is the ultimate pleasure of drawing and the power of provocation: the leather full dress, that reaches the floor, strongly opposes to the only polished metal shark finned back leg. Ed Archer is undoubtedly a scenographic protagonist.
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.
The cultured and omnivorous voracity of Philippe Starck faces, in Neoz collection, the poetry of solid wood and the traditional archetypes form is reviewed. The result is a timeless collection characterized by straight lines as well as by a strong image.
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.
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.
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.
