“Is a piece of wood that rests on a simple structure enough to produce a piece of furniture?”. This is the question Christophe Pillet asked himself when he designed the Any Day console. For the designer, the answer is yes if, “in this sophisticated understatement we find attention to detail, balanced proportions, celebrated elegance of the silhouette and masterful execution, characteristics that define the unique quality of that object”. The Any Day console combines pure lines and minimalist design, expressed through a great number of finishes that emphasize its outstanding versatility. The sleek metal structure supports a Canaletto walnut veneered element, complete with practical drawers, that comes in an array of finishes. The top can be made of wood or in various types of marble.

The underlying thought behind the Any Day family relies on the concept of subtraction. The designer intentionally stripped the design of non-essentials, to then focus on “the details, the precise proportions and masterful execution, inherent features that inescapably define the quality of that object”. The basic idea was to set a piece of wood on a simple metal structure. The first items to grow out of this concept were a coffee/side table and a console, followed by a dining table, desk and a series of cabinets. All of the pieces are flawlessly finished, even on the back, so they can also be used as room dividers.

Designed for drama, the Egon mirror is an accessory that can contribute decidedly decorative impact to any of the rooms in the home, from the entry to the bedrooms, and all of the living spaces. The rectangular mirror is supported by a wood panel. Classic half-round moulding adorns the sides of the mirror while the upper and lower edges are finished with an elegant metal detail available in a number of finishes.

Created as a natural extension of the Groundpiece seating system, the eponymous bookcase has a striking personality that gives it every right to shine in its own light. The understated structure is made of metal entirely clad in cowhide and comes in all the colors in the Flexform palette; the epoxy-powder-coated metal feet are based on the same design as those on the sofa. Whether alone or paired, the Groundpiece bookcase is an example of the kind of elegant restraint that makes a style statement in any setting – classic or minimal – whether in residential projects, corporate offices or boutiques.

The design concept for the Infinity bookcase lies in subtraction – the concept of paring down the container in order to allow the contents to shine. Infinity is a modular system made of epoxy-powder-coated metal containers that come in an extensive array of colors, freely stackable and joined to each other by an invisible satin-finish steel connector screw. The Infinity system modules make it possible to create an almost infinite number of compositions, giving rise to an elegant interplay of negative and positive spaces. The Infinity bookcase can be paired with the practical yet refined cowhide Box containers with side slit handles for easy removal from the bookcase. The sophisticated textural contrast between the understated sheet metal and the warmth of the cowhide is the source of success for a product that can now be justifiably considered iconic.

To reveal or conceal is the question that inspired the aesthetic of the Jeremy family of cabinets. Distinguished by pure lines and sleek proportions that build upon a rhythmic alternation of negative and positive spaces, it offers a series of revealing open compartments to display treasured objects, and concealing closed compartments with drop-front doors. Especially fascinating is the contrast between the lightness of the smoked glass compartments and the textured surface of the wood. The Jeremy family includes compositions with drawers and drop-front doors, with various fittings, each of which is designed to be placed in different parts of the home, from the entry to the living room. All of the elements are finished on the back, making them suitable as room dividers.

Also part of the Marmaduke family is a desk that features the same base as the coffee and side tables. It features a cowhide-clad top, equipped with convenient drawers. The Marmaduke desk is a refined object that, thanks to its small footprint, brilliantly fills the need to create a home-office corner or can charmingly complete the furnishings in a hotel room or suite.
