Follow Meeting Large Cone, a (moving) sense conviviality Follow Meeting Cone Large is a large dining and meeting table that stands out for its generous shapes and its innovative patented height-adjustment system. The encounter of geometries between the top and the double conical base generates a sculptural element with multiple formal expressions. Available up to three metres of length, it can be customised thanks to a wide range of colours and finishes. The collection comprises also the fixed version, without the height adjustment.

Control freakery never looked this good TEXT BY SIMON KEANE-COWELL EDITOR-IN-CHIEF OF ARCHITONIC “È una storia di due percorsi, per così dire. Mentre da un lato si va oltre il tradizionale focus su mobili per ufficio, adottando una strategia audace e decisamente orientata al design, come dimostrano le collaborazioni con designer del calibro di Michele De Lucchi, Ferruccio Laviani, Christophe Pillet e Marcello Ziliani, dall’altro il marchio raddoppia le proprie capacità produttive e di fornitura. “Controlliamo l’intero processo industriale”, afferma Laura Marchina. “L’obiettivo è monitorare i...

‘We manufacture on demand,’ explains Marchina, as she guides me through the production halls, ‘meaning that we aim to deliver, even on large orders for contract, within four weeks. What’s more, our external designers love the fact that they can experiment with us, as everything they need is on site. Including our expert technicians.’ “Produciamo su richiesta - spiega Marchina, mentre mi guida attraverso Le aree di produzione - il che significa che puntiamo a consegnare, anche per grandi ordini contract, entro quattro settimane. InoLtre, i nostri designer esterni amano iL fatto di poter sperimentare...

EUe, lightness and archi tectural appeal DESIGN FERRUCCIO LAVIANI A transversal, modular, modern architecture, a tribute to lightness. Consisting of a modular structure, the Elle allows numerous compositions, accommodating spaces and needs. The stylistic feature, however, is contained in the “L” element that gives shape to the shelves: by playing with the orientations, it is possible to create closed shapes, thus containers or dividers, or open shapes for visible shelves. By changing arrangements and heights, you obtain systems that are always new and customisable. mm Un’architettura trasversaLe,...

Introducing Typo Lounge chair, cosy atmospheres DESIGN AMDL CIRCLE An evolution of the Typo chair, this lounge model retains its original design while enhancing its comfort and sophistication. Distinctive is the square-section metal tube that gives shape to the structure, in a play of folds and creases that highlight Mara’s expertise in metalworking. The tube, worked and bent with precision, is transformed into a characterising graphic feature: a sequence of modernist lines support the backrest, the wide seat and culminate in a crossed base with a strong visual impact. The soft upholstery amplifies...

“This chair was born from an apparent mistake but to make a mistake you have to be willing to do it, to be willing to experiment. We have found in Mara a partner who was willing to try, to experiment and to be fast. In this world that goes ever faster, the ability of the designer and the maker to be responsive, to get in tune quickly is really a key element in the success of a project.” “Questa sedia nasce da un apparente errore però per sbagliare bisogna essere disposti a sbagliare, bisogna essere disposti a fare delle prove, a sperimentare. Noi in Mara abbiamo trovato un partner che aveva voglia...
