A Chair Born from "Memories of Life" in Milan
This armchair is named "TANT-TANT" (Auntie), a fond nickname given by the wife of an Italian restaurant owner to the designer Kanji Ueki during his stay. The owner's wife was a regular customer. The chair's wide seat and the way the back and arms embrace the sitter evoke the warmth and kindness of "Tant-Tant." The design itself is a reflection of Ueki's "Memories of Life" in Milan during the 1960s and early 1970s, a period filled with everything he loved.
The "GRAB" sofa offers a substantial presence with its thick cushions, yet its slender legs lend it a light and stylish impression. The exterior features a formal, squared-off silhouette, while the interior is slightly rounded, providing a relaxing seating experience that eases tension. Its design is ideal for reception areas or entrance halls where a polished impression is desired. It is available in a simple medium size and a larger size with an additional back cushion.
New Communication Through Unique Forms
This year's Salone del Mobile introduced the "ELEVEN HIGH BACK" version of Alias's "ELEVEN" sofa. The side and back panels create a sense of privacy, and when arranged facing each other, they form semi-private meeting spaces. The leg frames are available in polished finish or seven color options.
The unique system sofa "TANGRAM" was born from a desire to create spaces that foster simplicity, change, comfort, and innovation. It consists of three types of modules: left-arm, right-arm, and ottoman. Like a tangram puzzle, these modules can be combined in various ways to create diverse connections, making it suitable for waiting areas, communication hubs, or focused workspaces, regardless of the specific purpose.
Additionally, in home goods, we welcome the 2015 Autumn/Winter collection from "SOCIETY," an original home linen brand by Limonta, a renowned Italian textile manufacturer that has supplied materials to leading apparel brands and interior manufacturers worldwide. The collection proposes a dark, foggy color palette, primarily featuring deep greens and soft yellows.
