Miniatures Ball Chair
vitra > Styling
With its simple, striking shape and its bright colors Eero Aarnio's Ball Chair is a typical symbol of the optimistic, consumer-oriented popular culture of the 1960s. Equally apparent is an unconcealed enthusiasm for the technical which also typifies the era: its exposed plastic which allowed even complex shapes to be produced in series relatively easily, at the time something completely new, and its dynamic shape, reminiscent of a space capsule. <br/><br/>The idea of this kind of mobile capsule allowing people to sit where they want within the house also anticipates the kind of living concepts discussed in the 1970s for a young, liberal society. On the outside, this gleaming, polished sphere seems cold and futuristic, but its inside reveals a space where users can feel cozy and protected. From the inside outside noise is considerably muffled, allowing users to relax in any number of positions, for example, to sit cross-legged. Mounted on a round metal base just above ground level, the sphere can be completely rotated on its own axis, so that users can vary their view from the »cave«. Ball Chair thus represents a special category of household objects. It is something between a piece of furniture and a piece of architecture and at the same time embodies both the mobile and the established, the fixed.

Our attention is caught by the light but shadows have more to say. Since classical times, artists have understood their value. They’re mysterious, feed the imagination and add drama. Shadows are complex and tell stories about objects out of view. They can reveal the invisible. In this Shadowplay collection, the multi-level loop construction creates a sculptural texture influenced by the distorted shade and light. Two co-ordinating patterns, Umbra and Obscura, can be used alone or together to compose layered shadows which dance across the floor. Tone on tone neutrals are complimented by haloes of colour which trace abstract shape and fade quietly away The collection is a great visual toolbox where you can achieve very different looks depending on the sizes and shapes you choose. Shadowplay comes in a wide palette of contemporary colours from subtle tone-on-tone shades to more rich tones carefully coordinated for perfect combinations. It allows different spatial options that help define areas such as meeting points and quiet or communal zones, as well as catering to social distancing requirements and wayfinding.

Torii
minotti > Sofa
Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii modular seats play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo’s nod to the image of the “torii”, the entrance gate to Shinto shrines in Japan. With an interlocking game, the horizontal elements are laid on the vertical supports, ensuring a sophisticated visual lightness that accommodates the padded volume, characterised by couture craftsmanship. The Torii family includes sofas - with high or low backrest and a linear shape, rounded at the arms - inclined sofas with a combination of two different depths, armchairs and lounge and dining little armchairs, ottomans, coffee tables, and a slender, oval-shaped console table, ideal for placing anywhere in the living area. The varied range of products makes it possible to design a flexible layout, in which the individual elements can also be combined to create a strong visual unity. The metal frame found in the components of the Torii family evokes the image of the “Senbon Torii, the wooden colonnade that forms a gallery made up of 1,000 vermilion torii gates”, as Nendo reminds us. The slim backrest features vertical quilting and a piping running along the perimeter of the cushioning, underlining the couture quality of the craftsmanship. The eco-leather and eco-nubuck piping is in a slightly contrasting colour, but in the same shade as the fabric, if combined with a textile covering, whereas the leather versions come in the same shade when combined with leather upholstery. All the upholstered elements of the system can be customised by choosing the covering: 100% fabric or leather, or in fabric with a leather base. The seats can be accessorised with leather magazine caddy, crafted with fine luggage-crafting techniques and enriched with the same metal details as the base. The end of the horizontal metal element of the legs is designed so that it almost holds the backrest and seat, recalling the Kigumi technique, borrowed from the Japanese tradition of wood construction. A small decorative disk with Black-Nickel finish, in the form of a jewel-like button located at the end, adds a precious detail to the ensemble, and creates a series of contrasts with the Bronze colour varnished metal finish of the legs. The armchairs and swivel armchairs in the form of a perfect circle were designed to meet a variety of requirements, both in terms of functionality and ergonomics, available in a range of different types. The seats - in the Bergère, Large, Medium and Small versions - and the Dining, Dining Large and Lounge little armchairs are the result of the in-depth research carried out to find the best way to express the sophisticated simplicity of the craftsmanship. The base is available in leather or fabric. The extension of the base of some elements features a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with a matt polyester lacquer finish, crafted with a careful study of its proportions, thickness and structural details so that it blends seamlessly into the seat, also from an aesthetic point of view. The Small armchair is also available in the Torii Nest version with braided leather backrest and a pattern inspired by Vienna straw, inserted in a solid ash wood frame that sits on a base in the same material. The Torii coffee tables also feature the same structural style details as the seats, reflected in the metal frame with Bronze colour varnished finish and details in Black-Nickel metal. Available in different sizes, ranging up to an impressive diameter of 120 cm, and different heights, they feature a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with matt polyester finish, in Black pâte de verre or in Liquorice colour brushed ash wood, enclosed by a Liquorice colour matt lacquered frame.

Connery
minotti > Sofa
Contemporary, with a strong architectural appeal and pure lines reminiscent of the Mid-Century American spirit, the Connery seating system sports an exquisite aesthetic and design that instantly catch the eye. The clever combination of fine materials and sophisticated details adds a hint of couture to its design. An extremely versatile seating system, in terms of both composition and combination of materials, Connery has a distinctive personality also expressed in the pairing of original square and round chaise-longues. With its geometric rigour, the base creates an original contrast with the softness of the seat, conceived as a single cushion punctuated by light stitching defining the width of the seat - 83 or 68 cm - and with the structure of the backrest and armrest, covered in channelled goose down padding. The backrest and armrest form a single volume, with a 45° split in the corner. As well as the fabric covering, the padded structural base can also feature a covering with strips of leather, crafted with the same technique used in fine leather luggage-crafting. References to the concept of high-end leather goods are also found in the headrests and the elegant “C”-shaped Flap surfaces, which seamlessly blend into the seating elements, animating the compositions with a vibrant rhythm. The structural base is raised from the ground on thin blades in extruded aluminium in a Brandy polished varnished finish, positioned at the front, giving the sofa an appealing and airy look, and recalling the metal parts of trunks and suitcases. The Flap shelves reiterate the strip design of the structural base and make the system functional, offering stylish, surfaces on which to place objects. Covered in leather or Moka ash veneer, they dialogue harmoniously with the textures of the covering. The leather bands of the structural base, sewn together with straps and marked out by stitching that add rhythm to the design, are made with the same technique used in fine leather luggage-crafting. The same concept of high-end leather goods also inspires the freely adjustable headrests. The well-structured, customisable range, offering many different compositional options, in addition to longer square chaise-longues, also includes circular elements, which can be positioned near the sofa as atolls.

Takumi armchair
infinitidesign > Chair
Two kanji characters, “taku” meaning “skillful” and “mi” meaning “to see”, give rise to the ancient Japanese name Takumi, meaning one who has “talent in the field of craftsmanship and technology”. And it is from this encounter between the industrial world and the creativity of craftsmanship that ‘Takumi’ was born, a collection of upholstered chairs where the circular design combined with the minimalism that hark back to bygone eras. The development of this new line, designed by Studio Dessì, is based on the perfect balance between aesthetics and comfort; the steel tubes of the structure seem to interconnect in a way similar to Escher’s optical illusions as they accommodate soft upholstered elements that can be disassembled and restyled. Available with or without armrests, Takumi is an armchair designed for use in the HoReCa industry, but can also be used in more intimate settings. The wide range of fabrics and the steel frame, which can be painted in different colours, work well together to create refined or pop versions depending on taste or the interior.

Or perhaps a hue that looked on trend ten years ago now looks a little dated. Mitab offers to re-new your furniture as easily as it is to buy a new piece.By offering straightforward options with standard pricing for re-lacquering or reupholstering your Mitab products we make it easy for you to extend their life and help out the environment at the same time.

Dipping Light
marset > Ceiling lamp
The Dipping Light is more than just a lamp; it inspires emotions. On, it is mesmerizing: its different shades of paint filter the light creating a magical ambience. Off, it transforms into a multi-coloured glass sphere, with a strong aesthetic impact.The Dipping Light started out as an experiment – dipping a switched-on light bulb in paint several times – but it became a lamp. The result is layers of colour painted in concentric circles which trap the light, attenuating its intensity. The paint acts as a shade, colouring the light and giving it texture. This artisanal process involved makes each lamp unique and exclusive. The pendant version of the Dipping Light sheds all unnecessary elements and retains only what is essential: colour takes centre stage. When using several lamps to make a composition, the visual effect is mesmerising. It is available in four different diameters: 12 cm, 20 cm, 30 cm and a new diameter of 40 cm. When this bigger bulb is switched on, it simply demands attention: colour is the message. Its size exudes so much strength and visual aesthetic that it can fill any space, bathing the room in colour. A cluster accessory is also available for the 12-, 20- and 30-cm pendant Dipping Light, allowing you to connect several pendant lamps at once to a single point of light. This offers the freedom to build with light, to illuminate large spaces and to create compositions.
FollowMe
marset > Table lamp
Few lamps have caused as much buzz as FollowMe. This daring pioneer of portable lighting has become a design icon in just a few short years.Its simple, airy lines, its tilting shade and its varying light intensity have established it as a beautiful and practical lamp. Now, FollowMe takes a step further by offering an expanded collection with several colours: pink, blue, terracotta and green. The handle is still made of wood, painted in this case. The FollowMe colors provide multiple possibilities: pink and blue, whose soft colors and gentle light invite serenity, are ideal for children’s rooms or pastel design themes, while the more intense and sophisticated green and terracotta add a spot of bold color to any environment. A fun and colorful collection of this charismatic lamp, where the hardest thing might be deciding which one you like best. FollowMe Plus complements its predecessor. While the original is a small-format object, the Plus reproduces its same shape and warmth, but in a larger size. This version stands out for its ability to create entire atmospheres as a table lamp, or even on the floor. The oak handle beckons you to pick them up. Both have the classic tilting white polycarbonate shade that offers direct light for reading. They have a three-position dimmer to regulate the intensity. Autonomous and cordless, they work with a high-efficiency lithium ion battery that powers them for 5 to 20 hours, and they have a USB-C input to facilitate charging.

Airy, with constructive details linked to Japanese tradition, the Torii modular seats play with round edged volumes, thin profiles and the apparent formal simplicity of an extremely detailed design. The metal structure of the legs of the seats and tables is Nendo’s nod to the image of the “torii”, the entrance gate to Shinto shrines in Japan. With an interlocking game, the horizontal elements are laid on the vertical supports, ensuring a sophisticated visual lightness that accommodates the padded volume, characterised by couture craftsmanship. The Torii family includes sofas - with high or low backrest and a linear shape, rounded at the arms - inclined sofas with a combination of two different depths, armchairs and lounge and dining little armchairs, ottomans, coffee tables, and a slender, oval-shaped console table, ideal for placing anywhere in the living area. The varied range of products makes it possible to design a flexible layout, in which the individual elements can also be combined to create a strong visual unity. The metal frame found in the components of the Torii family evokes the image of the “Senbon Torii, the wooden colonnade that forms a gallery made up of 1,000 vermilion torii gates”, as Nendo reminds us. The slim backrest features vertical quilting and a piping running along the perimeter of the cushioning, underlining the couture quality of the craftsmanship. The eco-leather and eco-nubuck piping is in a slightly contrasting colour, but in the same shade as the fabric, if combined with a textile covering, whereas the leather versions come in the same shade when combined with leather upholstery. All the upholstered elements of the system can be customised by choosing the covering: 100% fabric or leather, or in fabric with a leather base. The seats can be accessorised with leather magazine caddy, crafted with fine luggage-crafting techniques and enriched with the same metal details as the base. The end of the horizontal metal element of the legs is designed so that it almost holds the backrest and seat, recalling the Kigumi technique, borrowed from the Japanese tradition of wood construction. A small decorative disk with Black-Nickel finish, in the form of a jewel-like button located at the end, adds a precious detail to the ensemble, and creates a series of contrasts with the Bronze colour varnished metal finish of the legs. The armchairs and swivel armchairs in the form of a perfect circle were designed to meet a variety of requirements, both in terms of functionality and ergonomics, available in a range of different types. The seats - in the Bergère, Large, Medium and Small versions - and the Dining, Dining Large and Lounge little armchairs are the result of the in-depth research carried out to find the best way to express the sophisticated simplicity of the craftsmanship. The base is available in leather or fabric. The extension of the base of some elements features a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with a matt polyester lacquer finish, crafted with a careful study of its proportions, thickness and structural details so that it blends seamlessly into the seat, also from an aesthetic point of view. The Small armchair is also available in the Torii Nest version with braided leather backrest and a pattern inspired by Vienna straw, inserted in a solid ash wood frame that sits on a base in the same material. The Torii coffee tables also feature the same structural style details as the seats, reflected in the metal frame with Bronze colour varnished finish and details in Black-Nickel metal. Available in different sizes, ranging up to an impressive diameter of 120 cm, and different heights, they feature a top in Calacatta or Stone Grey marble with matt polyester finish, in Black pâte de verre or in Liquorice colour brushed ash wood, enclosed by a Liquorice colour matt lacquered frame.

The mystery and poetry of painting. Art that inhabits space. «In the past, art was expected to transfer the object, or work of art, from the inanimate to the animate world. Now, since we know that the whole world is animate, the task of the artist is to interact with the intelligence of matter.» Giorgio Griffa Born in Turin in 1936, Giorgio Griffa is now ranked as one of Italy's most important abstract painters of the Twentieth Century. He began to paint when he was very young, just 10 years old, and for two decades his work was figurative, fairly traditional in subjects and style. His mature work developed later, in the mid Sixties, in the context of the abstract-expressionist and tachiste movements, which based their language on a concept of painting as a sequence of actions, like a repeated sign or form of writing. Rather than a representation, painting became the direct expression of a mental state, a precise psychic temperature, an internal beat.Historically, his work has been classified as part of this "analytical painting" movement, which concentrated on analysing itself and its internal mechanisms: surface, substrate, colour and sign. However, Giorgio Griffa's work seems to stand apart from that of his fellow artists, and nowadays it is difficult to place it firmly within the historic analytical and conceptual painting movements. His abstract works, consisting of simple signs repeated on the canvas, seem to be not so much an analysis of the act of painting as a homage to painting itself and its history. And this is one of the delightful, central paradox's of Griffa's work: in spite of their conceptual approach, his paintings have <strong>a fascinating lyrical component, a radiant musicality, very different from the cold, unemotional mood of the neo-avantgardes</strong>.<br /> In this sense his works are something of a mystery for the art world, as lovely as they are indefinable, because in them everything seems to be at once both simple and complex. The types of canvas the artist uses (jute, hemp, cotton or linen) are simple. His painted signs are also simple, or even anonymous: a series of vertical or horizontal lines and - only from the Eighties onwards - stylised floral motifs, friezes and spirals. Yet Griffa entrusts this apparent simplicity with the task of saying what is unsayable by its very nature; of plumbing the depths of the mystery of creation and the unknown. Seemingly banal and obvious at first glance, Griffa's work is actually layered with references to the history of art, Stone Age painting, Zen philosophy, music and "“ as we have seen "“ the artistic avantgarde of his own age.All these characteristics are very much to the fore in the artist's works for CEDIT Ceramiche. For this historic brand, Griffa has created five works involving a series of lyrical, minimalist signs, which recall the motifs current in the late Sixties and Seventies. The range of colours in which these signs are presented, with complementary colours and half-tones, seem to be drawn from the Renaissance and the art of Venice and its region in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries. The other fundamental point of reference is Matisse, the painter who rejoiced in colour and in whose images signs and colours are nicely balanced.<br /> Griffa's collection for CEDIT sets out to use <strong>modular repetition of signs</strong> to build up genuine spatial environments for everyday living. The partnership with a ceramics manufacturer is a particularly fertile one for the Turin-born artist. In fact, his pictorial language "“ based on the concept of an anonymous sign open to potentially infinite repetition "“ seems to be ideally suited to large-scale reproduction and the decoration of entire interiors. The concepts of fragmentation and incompletion can be easily applied to the decoration of living-spaces of varying sizes, as if they were "portions" of a larger whole, an expanding universe. All Griffa's works use a repertoire of timeless signs, actions repeated over the millennia, on a complex trajectory that combines art, craftsmanship and decoration. In the project for CEDIT, this ancient story of experimentation with the potentialities of sign, colour and matter comes to a kind of natural, fascinating fruition.

Our attention is caught by the light but shadows have more to say. Since classical times, artists have understood their value. They’re mysterious, feed the imagination and add drama. Shadows are complex and tell stories about objects out of view. They can reveal the invisible. In this Shadowplay collection, the multi-level loop construction creates a sculptural texture influenced by the distorted shade and light. Two co-ordinating patterns, Umbra and Obscura, can be used alone or together to compose layered shadows which dance across the floor. Tone on tone neutrals are complimented by haloes of colour which trace abstract shape and fade quietly away The collection is a great visual toolbox where you can achieve very different looks depending on the sizes and shapes you choose. Shadowplay comes in a wide palette of contemporary colours from subtle tone-on-tone shades to more rich tones carefully coordinated for perfect combinations. It allows different spatial options that help define areas such as meeting points and quiet or communal zones, as well as catering to social distancing requirements and wayfinding.
