In the name Bloomington, the verb “to bloom” resonates. Yet here, the blossoming is architectural—a construction of form in space.
The Bloomington armchair emerges as a volume shaped by gesture, a three-dimensional sign that asserts itself with both clarity and ease, defining space even before accommodating the body. Its enveloping lines evoke the profile of a calla lily, yet this organic suggestion is translated into a structural language: a compact outer shell, strong and refined, polished to a mirror-like surface. Light flows across its high-gloss finish as it would over a contemporary sculpture, amplifying curves and tensions, and placing material at the forefront.
The trumpet-shaped base, polished and reflective, acts as a structural stem. Not merely a support, but a natural extension of the form: it lifts the seat, transforming it into a suspended chalice, poised between mass and momentum. The asymmetry of the armrests and backrest introduces a studied dynamism—a decisive gesture that breaks conventional symmetry and shapes the surrounding space. Comfort is embedded within the form itself, implicit and never overstated.
The Bachi armchair originated in the 1960s from a playful and free approach to design, characteristic of the most experimental phase of Italian design.
Titan is a dining table designed to complement the Basalt island or function as a standalone piece. The Negresco marble top, dark and veined, rests on asymmetrical legs.
The Bold sofa takes shape as a coherent evolution of architectural legacies into an even more essential, compact and radical presence, where design asserts itself as a habitable sculpture and a con
Catskill makes an immediate impact with its declared strength — a primordial energy that recalls the mountain region west of the Hudson Valley from which it takes its name.
The Cigno armchair, designed by Vittorio Varo in the late 1960s, represents one of the most refined expressions of the experimental phase of Italian design during that period.
Core emerges as an expression of the original nucleus of light and architecture, placing the structural heart at the center as a generative and identity-defining principle of space.
The Frame upholstered piece originates from a reflection on structure as the primary principle of design. Its very name is not a decorative reference, but a declarative statement
Gea, from the Greek word for “earth,” explores the relationship between light and matter through a language inspired by geological processes.
Joker is conceived as a tribute to the organic and sensorial imagery of the Seventies, reinterpreted through a contemporary language that unites memory and vision.
Armchair in leather or fabric with a curved plywood structure. Seat with elastic webbing, polyurethane and Memory Foam® for enhanced comfort.
Low tables in a triptych: two in steel, one in marble. Thick slabs define base, support, and top. Inclined supports create kaleidoscopic reflections. Also usable individually.
