Classic design: Krystian Kowalski News & Highlights Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015

Thanks to its dignified shape and timeless, light silhouette, this piece of design suggests a “classic feel” in a novel and inspired way. Simultaneously, both the production technology and the ergonomic nature of the seat locate this piece of furniture in the paradigm of contemporary design.

The well considered selection of materials and careful composition of the upholstery layers guarantee genuine comfort and a feeling of softness. The differ- ent heights of the cushions and pillows allow for an ergonomic positioning of the body and perfect support for the head. The depth of the seat, secured by cush- ions, accomodates various adjustments. Depending on the occasion, the sofa can be used for moments of laid back relaxation or for more formal purposes. The subdued, elegant design of the sofa is com- pleted with the subtle shape of the armrest, its soft contours and refined...

Oyster design: Krystian Kowalski News & Highlights Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015

Referencing the organic design of the 50s, the Oyster takes advantage of moulded foam injection technology to become a piece of dual nature, offering two different finishing options that also serve two different functions. This contemporary approach, completed with the swivel, distinguishes the Oyster from its classical ancestors. The neatly padded, shell-like body, with the added soft cushions for extra comfort, will contribute a tidy look to an interior. In this durable version, the Oyster will work perfectly in public spaces like offices and receptions. The smooth, comfortable body, sits...

Mellow design: Maja Ganszyniec News & Highlights Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015 – 1

Depending on the upholstery fabric and the height of the rigorously shaped structure, the final result allows for the placing of the product in different arrangements – in a private home or within a public or office space. The high back provides a sense of familiarity and comfort to offices and public spaces. The structured textile will add both some extra sophistication and a cutting edge look, while the more disciplined, solid colour fabric will accentuate the design of the product and help to fill an open space with a significant form. The softness and ultimate comfort of the seat...

Floating design: Philippe Nigro News & Highlights Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015 – 1

The very clean, simple form is astonishing in its comfort of use. The innovative solution displaying the construction neither denies nor interferes with classic sofa typology. It is an innovation relying not on stylization but on the search for new solutions. There is a fascinating play between the external and internal elements. Thanks to its unique construction, the sofa length can be easily extended, simply by adding the seating modules. Floating is available in fabrics. The frame can be chromium-plated or powder-coated in the colour range from the RAL sampler. This project demonstrates...

The stainless steel horizontal, hexagonal solid bar is pronounced enough to become a subtle decorative detail of this modest and contemporary piece of design. It connects two simple and carefully cut surfaces that run off in different directions. Powder-coated steel is combined here with the solid colour smooth-edged Corian®. design: Krystian Kowalski A perfect balance of functionality and creativity, this piece rejects superfluous words, gestures, and signs.

Do-Ro-Ta design: Alessandro Mendini The cylinder is a perfect geometric shape. These three little pieces from Do-Ro-Ta furniture feature cylinders of different heights and diameters. The first is a very low, wide stool suitable for two or three people; the second is a conventional stool for one; and the third is a small coffee table. Their decorative look is provided by a composition of three different types of inlaid wood that generate naturalistic and abstract figures with a neo-pop character. The wood confers a poetic and organic feeling on these three objects. They are like geometrized...

Pelagie design: Dorota Koziara The harsh beauty of the Pelagie Islands inspired me to match the contrasting materials, textures with the colours of the beautiful landscape. It reflects in the collection’s table top palette. Emerald, quartz, gold, whiteness, shades of grey and black of volcanic rocks, are the colours reminding with the sence of nostalgy, these the most south forwared islands of Sicily. Dorota Koziara Pelagie tables are inspired by the archipelago of islands, located in the Mediterranean See, between Europe and Africa. The islands were historicaly the meeting point for all...

Ripple design: Krystian Kowalski The range of finishings, the various functions of the base and different upholstery options make the Ripple chair an excellent, versatile piece that has strong appeal and sophisticated details. News & Highlights Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2015 –

The materials for the base of the chair – aluminium or powder-coated steel – allow for the chair to be used in offices as well as conference and reception rooms. Fully upholstered legs turn the chair into a perfect, outstanding piece to be placed at various types of dining tables. The round lines and softness of the chair’s design connotes cosiness and comfort, with its circular and amporphous shape brought into an interior space. Optionally, the body of the chair can be combined with a stiff shell made of polyester resin through injection moulding. It can also be mass-pigmented in...
