Lokum

Erin Smith — Mon, 30 Mar 2026 21:26:54 +0000

Conceived by Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis for Acerbis, the Lokum side tables distill the art of blown glass into quietly luminous form. Known for her poetic command of reflective surfaces and color, Marcelis shapes amber and smoky hues into rectangular and square silhouettes that shift with the light, casting subtle interplays of shadow and warmth. Minimalist in profile yet rich in material presence, Lokum works beautifully as a standalone accent or grouped for a layered, custom arrangement.

Lodovico Acerbis and Giotto Stoppino’s Med chair, with its curves and contrasting linearity, takes on lithe new dimensions, with airier proportions for its walnut or black ash wood legs and struts.
Characterized by unique details including the section of the legs which recalls the iconic Flatiron Building on Madison Avenue, New York and by cross-pieces connecting the legs, the repetition of which is a distinctive graphic sign, the Med Chair pairs easily with all kinds of tables. Its wooden frame is embellished with vivid upholstery, rendering Acerbis and Stoppino’s design so versatile for expanding the Remasters collection.

Storet

Thomas Ricotta — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:10:48 +0000

A playful, spirited pillar of drawers, the Storet cabinet epitomizes the visionary touch of Nanda Vigòs designs, now modernized with a brightly lacquered wood contrast and brand new proportions. In both its elongated vertical edition, and in the nightstand designed by Vigo but manufactured for the first time only now, the Storet reflects today’s advances in production, with the walnut’s visible grain illuminating Acerbis’s modern expertise in utilizing extensive wood surfaces. The cabinet, though made entirely of a single material, creates a potent game of color play, tempered by the pacifying shades and the natural quality of the wood.

Life Sofa

In envisioning new styles of living, Roberto Monsani imagined solutions to reshape the home. The Life couch – so avant-garde it was never produced in a series in Monsanìs day. Maintaining its modular and flexible design, today the sofàs original lucite frame has been elongated and updated with versions in dark stained walnut and black ash for contemporary living ideals. Designed to invite casual lounging, the supremely comfortable down cushions are now rendered ever more inviting in velvet, with softened shapes for absolute ease.

Maestro

Thomas Ricotta — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:10:24 +0000

With the precision and vivid identity that Gianfranco Frattini imbued in his work, the Maestro table was designed to conjure. function and perfection in living spaces. Today, at versions in 2,5, 3, and 3.5 meters in length, it becomes grander in its scale for modern entertaining needs, and more dramatic in its material impact, with black ash wood and dark stained walnut making dark silhouettes of the long, cantilevered wings of the table and its linear play of cutouts that recalls traditional Japanese architecture.

Menhir Low & Console

Thomas Ricotta — Mon, 19 Oct 2020 18:09:39 +0000

With a daring approach to materials, the Menhir low table becomes a composition of colors and textures that eloquently illustrate the sculptural simplicity of Lodovico Acerbis and Giotto Stoppinòs inventions of new forms. With a Greek-like classicism, the tablès column connects the monumental marble base, matte in its contemporary version, to a tabletop newly rendered in lacquered wood or black ash wood and natural walnut, creating a striking exchange between colors and elements. Newly conceived in three different heights, the Menhir low table vaunts a more dramatically-sized round top, and now appears as a tall console as well, a concept from the original designs today in production for the first time. Tops in the Ø 80, 100, 120 cm size and 180×40 for consolles.

Spiros

Thomas Ricotta — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 14:19:42 +0000

The essentiality of a project and absence of decoration have been the driving principles behind Vico Magistretti’s very long artistic production career, even though the master himself acknowledged that “simplicity is the most complex achievement in the world”. Spiros results from a change in prospect, from the everyday to the unusual, transforming a non-descript item – a “broomstick” – into a design product which becomes deeply captivating thanks a few masterful elements. There are two versions of this coat hanger: one to be rested against the wall, the other with a self-standing central base.

Alterego

Thomas Ricotta — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 14:00:07 +0000

Identities strengthened by asymmetry: harmonious together, but with independent potential. The two vertical Alterego sideboards are conceived from a craft vision that creates an association between the woods and the hand brushed metal effect finish. Two distinct sideboards that differ in the layout of the doors with the double sliding and hinged door system, finding unity in their sculptural forms and in the suspended effect of the structure

Serenissimo

Thomas Ricotta — Sat, 04 Apr 2020 13:17:26 +0000

Table with a unique and timeless design in which the apparent thinness and lightness of the glass top contrasts with the considerable diameter of the columns. These columns acquire greater expressive force from the different colours and textures of the cladding materials: the shine of the stainless steel and the concrete craftsmanship of the Fresco finish, made manually by mixing cement paste, inert materials such as sand, marble dust, earths and special resins that allow processing “fresco on fresco” same as frescos and able to show stripes, spots, variegation, slight holes: all these are marks of the artist’s hand and exalt the beauty of always different finishes, never repetitive.
