Gogan armchair
Gogan is a soft sculpture. A visual order, an organic shape, a clear embrace. It is an invite to comfort, to spend time together, in a relaxed and natural way. Composed, smooth and irregular, like a river stone, polished by water.
COBRA VASE
Cobra celebrates the the absurd and playfull silhouettes of the Cobra Arts Movement of the 1960s. The Cobra collection challenges the balance between soft and consistent shapes, playing with human silhouettes in contrast to architectural building components. Hand glazed natural product therefore the colours may variate. Not waterproof safe. Designed by Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl
armchair Major Tom
Major Tom takes his name from the character in David Bowie's song Space Oddity, which depicts an astronaut who travels beyond the stars. The clip shows Bowie in a space-inspired outfit designed by Pierre Cardin. With their lunar shapes and curved silhouettes, we can easily imagine Major Tom pieces in the couturier's eponymous house, Le Palais Bulles. Bowie and Cardin, 2 artists whose creations remain contemporary because they are far from the trends. 50 years after the first steps on the moon, we are still looking at the stars. Sofa, armchair and ottoman
Tramonti by Maria Scarpulla
Simple yet poetic wall paintings surrounded by a halo of light: that’s Tramonti Lighting in a nutshell. Maria Scarpulla, the name by which Maria Scarpulla and her partner Jori Hernalsteen (1987) design minimalist objects, started off with painting color shapes that would later become light objects.
Nouveau
Freely inspired by the Art Déco of early 20th century Nouveau collection - featuring washbasins,containers mirrors and accessories - gets richer in 2020 with new elements: a bathtub and ashower system.The bathtub shows the same sinuous and geometric lines of the entire collection. Its small sizeand circular shape includes a detail that, just like in the washbasins, is both decorative andfunctional.Thanks to this element it is possible to place objects or install the taps, allowing the bath to be seton the wall as well as a centerpiece of the room.
ASMARA
Asmara defines itself as a modular sofa in stretch, with concave shapes that voluptuously embrace the shape of the bodies in a human conception of aesthetics. Decomposed into several elements, the Asmara composition can be constantly rearranged. The seat consists of five separate modules: convex, concave, small backrest, large backrest, semicircular table. The most common composition consists of two convex elements, 6 concave elements, 3 small folders and 1 large folder. It makes it possible to carry out an islet or a “classic” implantation.
Vao sofa and armchair
Sofa and armchair with well-rounded lines, with legs made of discarded eco-friendly solid ash with acetic finish, whose imperfections give it a striking aesthetic appearance. Padding made with eco-friendly and selfextinguishing rubber, cover in natural wadding and straps made of jute. Upholstered with natural bouclé wool, linen-blended fabric or linen. This upholstery cannot be removed.
BAIXA
BAIXA is a comfortable lounge chair with a unique design that captures the past as well as the future. The lumbar support turns into the armrest in a flowing, harmonious movement with soft and round lines like the upper part of the backrest. This way a silhouette is formed that resembles a sunset in soft sand dunes, hence the name of the chair.
