<strong>Milan</strong>o <strong>2018</strong>
ownworld in <strong>Milan</strong><br />
Salone del Mobile surpassed all records this year with nearly half<br />
a million visitors converging on the Italian capital to engage, live<br />
and breathe design for 6 full days. Many stylistic approaches are<br />
exhibited at the Fair, Satellite venues and urban pop-ups across<br />
the city, and from this milieu style trends are predicted, hailed<br />
and derided. For anyone to digest it all in the time frame is virtually<br />
impossible, but we made a good effort! Here is an overview<br />
of what is trending right now and available from ownworld.<br />
Buon appetito!

Arco loves making tables. To Arco, a table is<br />
more than its technical definition. A table is a place. A<br />
place for eating, reading, working, playing, reminiscing<br />
about our past and planning our future. Arco make<br />
tables for all of these moments. Continually looking to<br />
their surroundings for inspiration, Arco are passionate<br />
about sustainability, sourcing timber locally within<br />
kilometres of their factory in Winterswijk, The Netherlands.<br />
It then seems perfectly logical that Arco would choose to<br />
share an impression of the region they hail from with<br />
visitors to Salone this year. Drawing influence from<br />
the local forest, Arco celebrated the colours and textures<br />
of their surrounding landscape. Sheer ceiling to floor<br />
curtains, featuring a print of the majestic forest, framed<br />
the space while autumnal colours spilled on to the stand<br />
through the fabrics and finishes selected.

Trestle Table<br />
DESIGN JORRE VAN AST<br />
TRESTLE table is the latest design from Jorre van<br />
Ast who has reworked the functional look of the<br />
trestle to create a generously proportioned table<br />
that will complement any living area or workplace.<br />
As with other models from the company’s Local<br />
Wood range, the oak for the table top is sourced<br />
from the area around the Arco factory in Winterswijk,<br />
Holland, close to the border with Germany.<br />
The two-part table top is supported at each end<br />
by a three-legged aluminium trestle, the height of<br />
which can be adjusted from 710 to 780 mm, meaning<br />
that the table can be easily transported, set up<br />
and adapted to the height of the specific user.<br />

Macka Armchair and Stool<br />
DESIGN NOTE DESIGN STUDIO<br />
Who hasn‘t when close to the sea, picked up a stone and<br />
thrown it in a way that it bounces on the surface of the<br />
water? In Sweden this game is called “kasta macka,“. The<br />
perfect “macka” is a stone that is thin with soft rounded<br />
edges and this became the inspiration for the MACKA<br />
collection. Arrmet’s aim was to create a chair that looked<br />
like it had been shaped by the ocean for thousands of<br />
years.<br />
With its softly rounded, pebble shaped back and armrests,<br />
the MACKA chair is ideal for hospitality environments<br />
thanks to its inviting shape and compact dimensions.<br />
The armrests are designed to comfortably embrace the<br />
body while the joining of the arms with the backrest is the<br />
key feature, creating a holistic expression that is light and<br />
elegant.<br />

Pacha Lounge<br />
DESIGN<br />
PIERRE PAULIN<br />
Legendary French designer Pierre Paulin originally designed the PACHA<br />
Chair in 1975. Paulin designed the chair in harmony with the changing<br />
design style of its period, replacing the austerity of post-war design with a<br />
new, vigorous approach.<br />
Pierre Paulin gave a real elegance to the rounded forms of the PACHA<br />
Chair by finding the perfect proportions, raising it lightly on its base and<br />
tracing in the foam and upholstery with stitching lines inclined inwards.<br />
Through pieces like the PACHA Chair, Pierre Paulin pioneered low-level<br />
living; a modern way of living and sitting on the floor, by getting rid of<br />
chair legs.<br />
With comfort as the constant starting-point in his designs, the curvaceous,<br />
whimsical and organic shapes of the PACHA Chair is conceived<br />
to serve the body, providing both comfort and cosiness. Looking as<br />

comfortable chair with a post-industrial look, balanced<br />
by the elegant silhouette where the soft curves render<br />
a feminine and playful touch.<br />
COCO has its own unique personality and friendly<br />
appearance that makes it blend naturally into various<br />
settings from pared-down ambiances to grand and<br />
refined universes. The high level of comfort is, among<br />
other features, expressed in the backrests curvy shape,<br />
that embraces and relieves the back of the one sitting<br />
in the chair.<br />
The design also allows the chair to be both playful and<br />
loud to more sophisticated and elegant, which gives<br />
the chair an almost human character, makes it highly<br />
recognisable, enhances its uniqueness and makes it<br />
easy to implement in both residential and hospitality<br />
environments.<br />
