Continuing with my posts on the stuff I saw at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan … earlier posts on Poliform, Vitra and Knoll are here, here and here.
I know nothing about this company until the exhibition. And I liked some of their pieces.
Wood is their strong suit. A high level of craftsmanship exercised in the design and manufacture is visible.
The pieces are not exactly modern with all straight lines and right angles. Yet there is something modern about their designs.
The shapes are organic and relies on carpentry to achieve the desired look.
Some minimal decorations are included.
According to their web site here,
Beauty is a stratification of elements that dialogue with one another, but it is also a constant quest for contents and values.
All the pieces projected a non-industrial, warm ambiance. I think their pieces work best in a domestic setting.
Some pieces on display are for the office, however and I definitely can see them in the lobby / reception area of a law office.
Some of the interiors use Asian accessories and accents. Their web site even has an option for Chinese (the others are English and Italian). So they must be attracting quite a bit of business from that country.
