SHAN - MOON

Product catalog summary

Introduction and Thematic Overview

The document introduces two primary furniture collections, "Moon" and "Shan," blending poetic narrative with technical descriptions. It highlights the artistic, emotional, and sensory qualities of the designs, presented in multiple languages to emphasize their universal appeal.

Moon Collection

Concept and Philosophy

Moon represents continuous change and poetic inspiration, embodying fluidity and transformation rather than fixed form. It contrasts with the sun’s constancy, symbolizing mutable character and design.

Materials and Finishes

  • Structure crafted from rosewood (palissandro) with integrated Marmoglass tops—a composite of marble dust and glass.
  • Surface details include seamless rosewood grain continuity and a silky shine on Marmoglass.
  • Available finish variants: matte cocoa lacquer, glossy white lacquer, and white lacquer with baroque frames featuring silver leaf decoration.

Design Features

  • "Joy" mirror incorporates a unique shaped glass "bubble" with integrated diffused lighting, exclusive to Altamarea.
  • Customizable finishes and frames allow personalization reflecting Moon’s changing nature.

Visual and Functional Highlights

  • Combination of glossy and matte finishes for diverse aesthetics.
  • Stone tops paired with ceramic under-top washbasins enhance artisanal quality.

Shan Collection

Concept and Philosophy

Shan emphasizes the intrinsic character and soul of wood as a living, warm, and dynamic material. It reflects life’s flow and transformation, merging being and interpretation.

Materials and Finishes

  • Use of dark oak and teak to highlight natural wood warmth and texture.
  • Stone tops combined with ceramic or glass washbasins, including handcrafted countertop washbasins.
  • Color contrasts with black and white lacquer finishes, such as gloss white lacquer with black glass tops and anthracite gloss lacquer with matching glass tops.

Design Features

  • Robust 15 cm thick doors provide substantial presence.
  • Glass shelves offer compositional flexibility.
  • "Joy" mirror with customizable lacquered top panel and integrated diffused lighting.

Philosophical Reflection on Color

Color is explored as a complex sensory and emotional experience, transcending visual perception. The document discusses how colors evoke sensations and emotions (e.g., red as violent, blue as relaxing), underscoring the collection’s focus on sensory depth.

Key Specifications and Recommendations

  • Materials: High-quality natural materials including rosewood, oak, teak, Marmoglass, marble dust composites, glass, and ceramics.
  • Finishes: Multiple lacquer options (matte, glossy, cocoa, white, black, ivory, anthracite) for customization and style adaptation.
  • Design Elements: Unique features such as the "Joy" mirror with integrated lighting and shaped glass bubble enhance both function and aesthetics.
  • Construction: Emphasis on wood grain continuity, door thickness, and precise surface finishing.
  • Customization: Color and material variations reflect the mutable nature of the collections.

Visual and Functional Highlights from Images and Details

  • Seamless rosewood grain continuity enhances visual harmony.
  • Silky Marmoglass surfaces add elegance.
  • Handcrafted washbasins and stone tops emphasize artisanal craftsmanship.
  • Glass shelves and thick doors in Shan provide versatility and robustness.
  • Integrated lighting in mirrors creates ambient illumination and unique focal points.

Additional Product Descriptions and Material Specifications

  • Glossy red lacquer paired with Marmoglass integrated tops and washbasins for depth and sleekness.
  • Extralight glass washbasins noted for extreme transparency and purity, combined with mustard lacquered structures.
  • Sage gloss lacquer with ceramic washbasins designed by Altamarea, highlighting craftsmanship.
  • "Joy" mirror features a glossy top panel, complemented by matte beige lacquer units with baroque gold mirrors.

Baroque Style Interpretation

The document explains Baroque style as an artistic movement from the 1600s characterized by decoration, sensory richness, and a sublime frivolity transcending logic and function. This philosophy is reflected in design elements such as baroque doors with silk-screen printed shutters, anthracite lacquered structures, Marmoglass washbasins, and mirrors framed with silver or gold leaf.

Design Collections and Personalization

"Shan" includes fifteen distinct bathroom compositions designed as strong, interpretable design points to transform bathrooms into personalized, intimate living spaces.

Technical Data and Dimensions

The document provides numerous measurements (widths, heights, depths in millimeters) supporting precise planning and customization of bathroom furniture, though explicit labeling is limited in the excerpt.

Manufacturer and Contact Information

Altamarea by Tecnolac Spa, Italy, is the manufacturer. Contact details include address, telephone, fax, email, and website, along with credits for concept, photography, and printing.

Critical Information Summary

  • Philosophical insight: Color perception extends beyond sight, involving multisensory experiences.
  • Materials: Use of high-purity extralight glass, Marmoglass, lacquer finishes (red, mustard, sage, anthracite, beige), and ceramic.
  • Design style: Baroque influences emphasize decoration, sensory richness, and artistic freedom.
  • Product range: Fifteen customizable bathroom compositions under the "Shan" collection.
  • Technical specs: Detailed dimensions provided for precise installation and customization.
  • Manufacturer: Altamarea by Tecnolac Spa, Italy.

Conclusion

The document artfully combines poetic narrative with technical and aesthetic details to present two furniture collections that celebrate change, natural materials, craftsmanship, and sensory experience. "Moon" focuses on mutable elegance and poetic inspiration, while "Shan" highlights the soul of wood, vocation, and the emotional depth of color and materiality.

Moon. Sintesi curva. “La cosa che sempre mi meraviglia della luna è il suo continuo cambiare forma e posizione, l’impossibilità di costringerla in un’immagine defi nita.

Shan. Interpretazioni. 32 ... 33 “Ci sono attori che non hanno bisogno di studiare la parte perché quel dato personaggio lo hanno da sempre dentro in loro. Ci sono uomini che non hanno bisogno di imparare un mestiere, impararlo veramente dico, perché, più che una professione, la loro è una vocazione, che da sempre abita in loro. Essere e interpretare, in questi casi, sono la stessa cosa.” Shan. Interpretations. “Some actors do not need to rehearse a role since the character has always been a part of them.

C’è qualcosa di intrinsecamente caldo e vivo, in questo materiale, anche quando è trattato in maniera fredda, sbiancato o al naturale. Qualcosa di mobile, appunto, perché tale è la vita, un fl uire instabile e inesausto, impossibile da fermare. Un mobile in legno dichiara così, manifestamente, l’anima da cui proviene: l’idea che prima fosse albero. E che l’albero si sia fatto oggetto, da sé.” Shan. Wood and soul. “Wood is the perfect fi nish for furniture, it always has been...
