The central design feature of the furniture series by Herzog & de Meuron is the point at which the wooden legs intersect and interlock. Inspired by traditional wooden joints in Japanese architecture, this ingenious construction principle lends the furniture its sculptural character. ClassiCon presented the new series at the Salone del Mobile trade fair in Milan 2024.
The Bell Side Tables and Bell Coffee Tables are complemented by a version with straw marquetry, framed into the tabletop. The different shades of straw create a striking three-dimensional pattern, the depth effect of which is enhanced by a sophisticated manufacturing method.
In addition to the versions made of natural or indigo-stained, open-pored travertine in combination with light ash wood, the series is also available in a deep black version with a tabletop made of high-quality Nero Marquina marble and a frame made of black lacquered ash wood. The black marble version has the presence and constancy of a sculpture and exudes a luxurious flair.
The diversity of the side tables and sofa tables series by Guilherme Torres is extended by a black lacquer finish. Like a monolith made of solid sheet steel, this design features an all-black, graphic and clear look.
Eileen Gray not only created some of the most iconic 20th century furniture classics but also ran a studio where rugs were produced based on her designs. Some of her most beautiful designs are part of the rug collection by ClassiCon. They are all based on Eileen Gray’s gouaches and pencil drawings from the 1920-30s. Based on a gouache by Eileen Gray from the 1920s, Faubourg is the epitome of minimalism: set against a square, natural white background, three simple black lines create an exciting dynamic.
