TNK Flex
ERGONOMIC
design
TNK Flex provides two fundamental developments aimed at revolutionizing office furniture at Actiu: an ergonomic design that is based on both the support and interaction of the user.
INTELLIGENT
backrest
Equally culminating comes the transcendance of the intelligent backrest, perfectly engineered to entrench Tnk Flex in the forefront of office chair designs. The automatic orbiting pivot reverts the chair back to its origional position without the user having to manually activate any mechanism.
ADAPTABLE
backrest
The supportive seating structure stems from the adaptable backrest (height, inclination, torque), granting the complete freedom of movement, while synchronously maintaining the c... More

SSENSE
Situated at the top of 333 Chabanel in Montreal, the new SSENSE office takes an entire floor of a former textile factory and transforms the space into a modern office space, studio and warehouse. Both creative and avant-garde in their use of digital retail, Ssense was looking for something that could be edgy, contemporary, and luxurious.
We have designed a space that reflects their personality-logical, efficient, transparent and minimalist. The new refined materials act in contrast to the crude industrial shell. Inspired by the company’s graphic signature, we have created a minimalist black and white environment as the foreground to everyday business. The ceiling, walls, exposed column structure and even rusty pipes were kept... More

Sistema
Imagine a sofa that can be customised to meet the exact requirements of any interior design project, both aesthetic and practical, and then take a look at SISTEMA, a new modular sofa system made by the contemporary furniture brand VICCARBE and designed by the renowned Lievore Altherr Molina studio which has established its reputation on creating individual design solutions.
SISTEMA is a unique and revolutionary idea patented by VICCARBE that breaks the sofa down into a series of elements, seating (with or without legs), back rest (of different heights), arm rest, legs and other associated accessories such as side tables, trays and foot rest. These deconstructed elements can be assembled by the customer in order to create the perfec... More

Contraste restaurant
Many products from the Pedrali collection chosen for the Contraste restaurant of the chef Matias Perdomo
Mornico al Serio, February 9 th, 2016 - Many products from the Pedrali collection were chosen as part of the decor for Contraste, the new Milan-based restaurant from Uruguayan chef Matias Perdomo, Argentinian sous-chef Simon Press and Italian maître Thomas Piras. A restaurant where contrast is king and classic rules are turned upside down: the menu is a mirror that reflects the guest's image, to emphasize that it is he at the centre of attention and not the chef, and that his culinary desires will be indulged. It does not flaunt its presence with bright windows or big signs. You won't come across it by chance. Diners enter, in fact,... More

Cumaru Loungechair
The Cumaru Loungechair designed by local Brazilian craftsman is a contemporary interpretation of a cross between a Savonarola chair and a scissor chair. The ease of use and storage (it is foldable) adds to its appeal. Using locally sourced exotic hardwood, they are built to withstand humidity and sunlight, while still being aesthetically pleasing and functional. The repetition of wooden slabs adds texture and depth to the simplistic design of this loungchair. Used in multiple scenarios and easily paired with a variety of styles, this is the perfect decorative piece for any pool side deck or patio. The Cumaru Loungechair belongs in the “Brazil Collection” of Galiatea, it is one of many items that are carefully handcrafted by selected artisan... More

Triennale Design Museum
Since 1 May 2015, Alias has been represented by its la leggera little stool at La Balena, a new permanent display space created specifically for younger visitors to the Triennale Design Museum.
The Triennale Design Museum presents La Balena (The Whale), a new permanent exhibition space designed to attract children of all ages, based on a project by Blumer and friends and destined to house workshops, exhibitions, reviews, films, meetings and presentations, but entirely given over to entertaining children of various ages who visit the Triennale in the company of their parents.
This is how Riccardo Blumer describes the project: “We have worked on creating a place that is a cross between the whale’s belly from the tale of Pinocchio, t... More
Mell
Mell is an engrossing character: angular on the outside, round on the inside, and well thoughtout to the last detail. The steel skids are so delicately formed that Mell almost appears to be floating. A closer look reveals that it has rounded corners – details that denote minimalist elegance. Mell is not just a sofa and easy chair, but also connection element, footstool and table. Taken together, the result is seating landscapes that meet individual requirements: always comfortable and with a special lightness that is conveyed by the fine steel skids on the tables and seating furniture.

Affair
Trade fairs are like big cities: no two are the same. And, ideally, your furniture should be just as varied. It should be flexible, resilient, almost infinitely configurable – in other words, exactly like Affair. As an all-rounder, Affair can be grouped to form seat-ing islands or corners, never-ending sofas or waiting benches. And regrouped for any occasion and any purpose. More
Sinus
Sinus is a modern classic from 1976 which was already ahead of its time when it was first launched. With rocking spring steel skids whose shape give the chair its name, as well as unusual upholstery. The round seat and back upholstery elements are held in place by leather straps. In 2004 it was brought back into the collection to mark COR's 50th anniversary. Sinus effortlessly embodies the timeless yet innovative design of COR while making it clear that hefty wingbacks are not necessary to ensure extreme comfort. Sinus appears to be weightless as it rocks lightly. And anyone who has come to rest on the distinctive upholstery will never want to give up this favourite chair again. More

Colina
Soft yet sculptural, Colina is a family of armchairs, elegant in silhouette and generous by design. Though originally created to complement the fluid architecture of the modular sofa system Loop, its adaptive, organic form and diverse range of options invites inclusion in many contexts from offices to public spaces to homes, in groups or alone. Its open character encourages dialogue of all sorts in architecture as well as among colleagues and friends.
Soft and enveloping, the Colina collection of armchairs and small armchairs adapts with ease to many environments: lounges, waiting rooms and intimate residential spaces. Natural companion to the Loop sofa collection, it includes a tub version with upholstered base, available in three differe... More
