|
|
|
"Viewing everyday life through the prism of objects which are surprising, yet sensible."
Since 1999, Philippe Nigro has worked as a freelance designer; he is also an associate of the De Lucchi studio in Milan, where he works on numerous projects in the fields of product design, furniture and lighting design, interior architecture, promotional events and scenography.
To use the exact words of Philippe Nigro, these divans are ‘quasi-articulated’ by means of ‘functional notches’, which can accommodate small pedestal tables (for reading, writing, working, drinking, eating...).

| APLÓ TABLE BY MGNG |
 |
| The Apló table has a corian tabletop (solid
surface material) and European oak legs. As
with all our designs, we kept the table simple
with fine details. The thin white surface has
an eased profile edge of 2mm radius. |

| RUCHE BED BY INGA SEMPÉ |
 |
| As with the Ruché settee, the Ruché bed is lifted from the ground by a simple, fine structure, which supports a comfortable sleep platform.
The structure of Ruché is in solid beech, either stained or natural. Inga Sempé insisted on offering a version in natural beech: “natural wood is beautiful, qualitative, authentic; it is modern, and at the same time restful, for it is one of the rare natural elements one can have in one’s own home.â€

| REWRITE BY GAMFRATESI |
 |
| This Italian-Danish coupling brings together two gifted European design traditions: a magical union between Southern and Northern design. And the result: the Rewrite desk, designed like a bubble, a little jewel of modernity and softness.
Those who work from home do not necessarily want their living rooms to resemble an open plan office! At once aesthetic and functional, this astonishing study cocoon, covered in a sound-absorbing woollen material, is perfect for preserving both concentration and intimacy.

| IONA CHEVAL MIRROR |
 |
| The Iona Cheval mirror is a full-length
eliptical mirror framed in solid oak with a
shaker-style joint and brass rivet detail at
one side. The solid oak A-frame is finished
in a matt white oil, allows the mirror to pivot,
and supports an off-white lacquered drawer
section, whose top doubles as a compact
low dressing table.

| ENIGNUM BY JOSEPH WALSH |
 |
| Joseph Walsh expresses his passion and imagination through his work ethic and commitment to exploring the depth and potential of wood as structure, form, material, technology and ecology. His work is a testament to the beauty of pursuing the mastery of a material and exploring a life’s work by learning from each experience. His wood pieces move like the wind, bend like paper, mould like clay and have the strength of bone.

allowed Benchmark to fill this gap in the market
and go on to become one of Britain’s most
successful manufacturers of bespoke furniture.Read more here  |
