Salone del Mobile.<br />

<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 />

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 />

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 />

whimsical and organic shapes of the PACHA Chair is conceived<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 />
