Sans Souci Design 2023
174Pages

Contrasts and perspectives Sans Souci is starting a new chapter and we want you to be a part of it. This catalogue is dedicated to our new design direction and brand values – our response to the most pressing questions our industry is facing.

The new collections, 15 in total, are testament to our commitment to design and innovation. Launched to coincide with the biggest design celebrations in the calendar – Fuorisalone and Euroluce – each listed in this catalogue is the culmination of a significant creative journey. Now, we invite you to become part of the process.

Our brand embraces both the contrasts and equilibrium in the space between different perspectives. The space between luxury and our responsibility to the planet, between craftsmanship and sophisticated technologies, between classical design and contemporary ideas.

We understand the truth that contrast is positive. It is where we find the strongest relationships and the most surprising discoveries. It is where innovation and beauty live. It is where we create. So don’t pick a side, come explore and enjoy different perspectives. We don’t have all the answers but maybe you will. Martin Cháb, owner & CEO

The Harmony of Contrast The concept central to our brand and the focus of our 2023 Milan exhibition – The Harmony of Contrast – combines diverse elements and ideas, challenging your assumptions. Our new product development and design approach is part of a creative journey where contrasting perspectives meet.

JIŘÍ KRIŠICA “There are no rules for design. That’s what makes it design.” There are 15 new collections being launched. This is a lot of new products – how did you manage it? It has been a long journey. We began preparations early last year, developing the strategy and concept for the fair. We had a clear ambition for this fair and went out to internal and external designers for their designs. We received dozens of design’s, the best of which we are showing here now. I won’t lie, the last six months has been demanding for everyone working across the company. With a big task it’s all about...

How do you select the best products? How do you know what will be successful? We are constantly monitoring and mapping the market to see how our products perform in relation to design trends, quality and price. This can depend on the location. Each culture has its own preferences and requirements which we have to consider when designing. Our analysis informs our ideas as we develop new products. For example, we recognise a popular design theme or motif across our markets and tranform it into a glass installation, which we did with our much-loved LEAVES collection. What size is your team?...
