“With its round, enveloping shell, Armadillo is a revision of a furniture classic in rattan: the papasan. But this is a radically free and wonderfully postmodern version. Armadillo has the sympathetic shyness of the animal from which it gets its name and the unmistakable signature of the Valencian studio in its silhouette.”

Blum could be just another archetypal indoor dining chair if it were not for the fact that it is entirely made of outdoor materials. Its final location will always be decided by the user: place it outside, bring it inside or move it from one space to the other accordingly to your mood or your needs. Aside from this, why it is so revolutionary? Its legs are the result of a hydroforming process while CNC bending machines and welding robots have been used to manufacture its high-resistance aluminum frame. The well-studied position of its armrests and the high backrest pursue utmost comfort and elegance. Dressing up the outdoors will be easier than ever thanks to Blum.

“The Cask lounge collection is a modern take on classic rattan furniture that is both elegant and embracing. The combination of geometrical simplicity and classic techniques makes a contemporary design that is novel and familiar at the same time. The construction consists of two simple circular rattan shapes forming a mesmerizing geometrical shape held up by a row of classic back ribs. The combination of circular rattan pieces, repetitive rib construction and soft upholstery brings an iconic presence to the design.”

“This project is born from the wish to recover rattan as a fine material and reclaim our country’s rich craftsmanship tradition. I have tried to give a new look to an ancient technique replacing the brackets and bonds traditionally used as connecting elements by the twinning of one cane to the next. Thanks to this innovative solution we have achieved a strong, flexible and lightweight structure. This is how Fontal evolves into a warm, likeable and luxurious seat in the true sense of the word.”

“Frames has written a happy new chapter for an already old story, the same old tale of craft and tradition but within a new framework of clever design that takes advantage of a different, more joyous approach to the material. The narrative of design brings traditional outdoor furniture to the inside, adding a layer of glamour to the rustic charm of the material. What was once just a seasonal story can now be told all year round. With its simple yet sophisticated aesthetic, Frames has all the features of a contemporary classic.”

“Huma armchair is a project trying to preserve the classic philosophy of rattan production process while engaging in a research for greater comfort through the use of flexible ribs in its shell-shaped backrest and its upholstered seat. Later, multiple versions were born from this first design, including materials such as metal or beech wood. However, the result was the same in all cases: ultimate comfort and a modern look.”

In an effort to recover the characteristic braided chair so typical of the Mediterranean, Expormim reedits the seating collection Lapala, a classic by Lievore Altherr Molina Studio. “Her curves and gentle shape keep the sober, light and versatile character of the original design. This update brings a significant increase in comfort through its improved ergonomics as well as a higher performance to weather conditions due to the fact it is woven with nautical rope on a painted stainless steel frame.”

“A welcoming piece with soft cushions buoyed up by a slender aluminum frame, which equilibrates comfort and lightness with the aim of providing a blithesome relax”. It is light and comfortable, but it does not give up in the least to that “timeless Mediterranean elegance”, as its own designers define it. A couch especially designed so everyone enjoys “at ease”.

Petale is made of stainless steel tube and textile. Nothing more. And still there is so much beauty in its deliberate simplicity and so much comfort in its huggy petal-shaped backrest. Play with the available textiles to customise it to your taste. Dimensions have been reduced so it can fit in contract spaces and thanks to its stackability, transportation is easier and more environmentally friendly.

“Twins has its own personality, delicate and exclusive. The key elements of the creative process are the search for comfort through the new technical fabrics, and the versatility of the pieces for indoor and outdoor spaces. This collection boasts a new proposal by MUT Design, a daybed with casual elegance and contemporary design.”
