Réaction Poétique by Jaime Hayon - Natural Walnut Centrepiece with Handle
Réaction Poétique - Centrepiece with handle. Jamie Hayon has created a collection of streamlined, functional objects, perfectly suited to the contemporary home, conceived with an almost religious dedication to the one material used, wood. These sculptural pieces employ form, light, and shade to express the ineffable beauty of wood, thanks also to the masterful crafts skills of Cassina’s carpenters. The various elements, inspired by the organic shapes conjured by Le Corbusier, and the paintings featured in the magazine L’Esprit Nouveau, reflect Cassina’s tradition of woodworking excellence and the close links that the company has always fostered between craftsmanship and industrial innovation. The original solid ashwood, stained black, has now been complemented by five variants: open-pore ashwood stained petrol green, amaranth red, mud, pearl grey and American walnut. Each piece bears the Cassina logo, and is sold with a certificate of authenticity.

Brass and Design for Life.
Ghidini1961 of Villa Carcina, in the province of Brescia, belongs to Italy’s manufacturing excellence, thanks to their unparalleled production skills. A specialist in die casting brass, aluminum and steel, the company excels in combining advanced technologies with traditional craft skills. With these solid foundations, the creative team composed by international designers has been able to enhance the properties of metals by creating innovative, timeless pieces chiseled with all the care for every detail that is distinctive of Ghidini’s fine craftsmanship. The collection includes works of art, where metal acquires an almost sculptural power, upholstered furniture, dining tables, cabinets and finely chiseled home accessories.
The products embrace almost all articles for use at home, which are interpreted in an unusual joyful way: from comfy and versatile sectional sofas, to very seductive, almost sculptural upholstered design statements, such as the Abbracci sofa, conceived by Lorenza Bozzoli or Stefano Giovannoni’s Frame collection, where geometric shapes are softened by the velvety surface of metal to create a sleek collection of sofas, armchairs, dining tables and bookshelves.
Ghidini1961 with its strong metal connotation, sources only from local suppliers of brass, aluminum and steel whose route is extremely circular: scrap and discarded materials are melted down and provide the useful material for making Ghidini products.
