LAST UPDATE: JULY 14TH 2013<br />
SICIS NEXT ART'S LEAF-INSPIRED FURNITURE COLLECTION<br />
BY LOUISE GAUDERN | JULY 11TH 2013 | 10:12 AM<br />
With summer only just beginning to set<br />
in in the Northern Hemisphere, thoughts<br />
of autumn leaves falling are far off.<br />
SICIS Next Art, however, has made<br />
leaves the loadstone rock around which<br />
its new Foglie furniture collection<br />
revolves.<br />
Created by Alida Cappellini and Giovanni Licheri, set designers for theatre and<br />
television productions, these furniture pieces initially featured on the small-screen set<br />
of Italian show Alle falde del Kilimangiaro. Inspired by Mother Nature, Cappellini and<br />
Licheri selected the leaves from several different trees from across the world to<br />
incorporate into their work: red maple, oak, birch and magnolia. The pair then sought<br />
to translate the depth of colour and intrinsic detail of the leaves into the forms of<br />
overtly Baroque-inspired sofas and armchairs.<br />

The distinctly different designs are on the cusp on interior design trends of the<br />
moment too – with more and more architectural projects being led by eco elements<br />
incorporating the exterior environment into everyday interiors, resulting in a gardenwithin-a-home<br />
effect. Bound to become the centre of attention in any room, each<br />
leaf design also represents a certain mood – so those wishing to create a certain feng<br />
shui can choose their piece with care. Those wishing to incorporate energy into their<br />
milieu can opt for the maple, whereas those wishing for a mystical touch to their<br />
home's design should look towards the Birch tree - known for being cherished by the<br />
Celtic, Siberian and Finnish peoples. If wishing for a pure, minimalist effect, then<br />
choose the Magnolia – known for its clean lines, deity-like associations and dignity.<br />
Last but not least, the Oak, renown for its enduring strength will undoubtedly bring an<br />
unshakable force into a dwelling with its impressive and bold furniture pieces.<br />
The shape of the sofas and armchairs are more that inviting as well – enveloping the<br />
seated with a wrap-around embrace. Individualists will also be pleased to hear of the<br />
bespoke elements to the furniture, with the opportunity on some pieces to choose<br />
between printed and non-printed leather, as well as a variety of colours.<br />
The design duo have also created nature-inspired tables too, comprising: Ondine<br />
(waves), Foglia (Leaf), Noce (Nut) and Oro (Gold). The Gold coffee table is somewhat<br />
contrasting to the rest of the adjacent, more classic collection, with its strong,<br />
straight-lined gold structure and the bold and bright coloured leaf pattern created<br />
with resin inserts that adorn it with blue and green agate hues alongside jade green<br />
and turquoise. For those that aren't a Midas at heart, there is the option to have the<br />
table in silver too, for an even edgier contemporary look.<br />
A refreshingly natural collection which will not shed its chic appearance with the<br />
changing of the seasons.<br />
