CONSOLE - 3175
We are Chinese, we indeed have our own aesthetic philosophy at the bottom of our heart.But we don't want a modern design in a simple oriental style, we want to add technology, a futuristic design.We have the idea of creating a new look from the design and the digital manufacturing method to create this console. It is oriental, but it is also contemporary. The surface of the curve, the line of the curve show our idea and our technology.

The PI collection honours nature’s design, by keeping the strength, curves, and lines, as nature intended. Interesting shapes are discovered in this sleek and stylish, polished imperfect, finish. Each PI shelf is finished by hand to ensure that the individual character of the wood is respected. Designed by Alain van Havre.
Raphael Navot, alchemist of matter
Selected as Designer of the Year, this highly talented designer and interior architect - trained at the Design Academy in Eidhoven - puts accuracy, sensoriality, and humility at the heart of his work. After delivering this year the Belle Plage seaside hotel and spa in Cannes, presenting a new line of Cashfur chairs and sofas, a unique material between cashmere and fur designed by Loro Piana Interiors, and exhibiting his latest furniture collection at the Friedman Benda gallery in New York, he unveils at this new edition of Maison & Objet an immersive installation called Apothem Lounge. A circular, luminous and textured structure, which is part of a sensory experience to relax, rest and disconnect. Because here as elsewhere, this "Jerusalem boy" imagines sensual spaces with organic shapes and sophisticated materials that evoke both visual and tactile emotions.
