Babela Chair

Designed in 1958 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni for the Milan Chamber of Commerce, Babela is an excellent example of how practicality and aesthetics can work together in the same chair, a comfortable, stackable easy chair with a rigorous design perfect for the institutional setting for which it was conceived. This reissue brings Babela into contemporary spaces, transforming the original iron frame into a warmer, more natural ash wood one. The minimum order quantity is four. Please enquire for more information.

Matera Medium Pouf - Explore new creative scenarios in an imaginary tour of the extraordinary urban ecosystem – the Sassi di Matera. Here, the stratification of eras displays the continuity of past and future interactions, of natural elements and traces of a culture that have accumulated over time, bare essentials, destined to last, that blend with the new contemporary fabric. Tacchini embraces this crossroads between past and present, moulding it into a product – the Matera sectional system by Maltese designer, Gordon Guillaumier. Full-proportioned upholstered elements are assembled like stones, placed one next to another, which can stand alone or be mingled. | Arteficius

Pastilles Ottoman - The new project with Studiopepe is a collaboration with designers Arianna Lelli Mami and Chiara Di Pinto, the creative minds behind the consultancy. Pastilles is a collection of small armchairs, ottomans and coffee tables, with soft and enveloping shapes that bring back childhood memories, the sweets. A contemporary reinterpretation of the classic cockpit armchair, with a sinuous shell that contains the seat and that gives excellent comfort to the design. Completed by two tables of different sizes and an armchair, these elements create a matched family of shapes that can be used as a system or as a single object.

The minimum order quantity is two. Please inquire for more information. | Arteficius

Mantiqueira Red 25 Vase - These inspired creations lie midway between art and design, defying definition. The new Mantiqueira by Domingos Tótora for Tacchini Edizioni are an original artistic encapsulation of the way nature and craftsmanship elicit a shift towards ethics. The Brazilian designer creates these objects using recycled cardboard, instilling them with all the authentic intensity of this material, which is transformed and shaped into a new life.

Tótora’s vases are the fruit of a certified, sustainable, labour-intensive process, in which recycled cardboard is reduced to a pulp, then worked and moulded by hand, giving shape to sculptural pieces that are then dried in the sun, and subsequently finished. The artistic procedure is quite evocative, taking cardboard, a derivative of wood, and transforming its appearance into something extremely similar to the very wood from which it comes. Beauty and respect seem to be the keywords for this new and concrete sustainable vision of decor accessories.
