FIBORG
Tsavkisi is a mountainous region near Tbilisi, known for its panoramic views of the city. Amidst this setting, the design's ambition is to seamlessly stand out yet harmoniously belong within its environment. This aspiration takes form through a fluid, organic shape reminiscent of a sculpture. Realized primarily through the innovative use of sculptured fiber concrete, this material is chosen not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its aging properties, which enhance the structure's character over time.

PORTS 1961: PARIS
Our 5,700 sf Ports 1961 store resides on the prestigious Rue St Honore in Paris, France, occupying three-stories next to the Mandarin Hotel. The retail ground floor features delicate Venetian plaster walls with 3D patterns, which transition to the upper VIP floor in a warmer, gold tone. The upper floor also features grey, mat Siberian hardwood, while the ground floor patterns limestone.
Sculpted stairs connect the upper and lower levels, and other architectural additions include mirror columns, recessed lighting, and custom fixtures in polished chrome— all of which glow on adjacent clothing and surfaces.
To fluidly connect the retail level and VIP room above, we cut a large atrium into the existing concrete slab. The newly formed vo... More

PORTS1961 Shanghai: Flagship
A retail experience that embraces the history of The Bund as an important port and art-deco district.

INNOVATIONWe recycled the materials from a recently-demolished historic Chinese house, CNC-milling the wood to create a fluid system reminiscent of a ship’s hull that displays the fashion collection. This reduces the environmen... More
Product • By MENOTTI SPECCHIA S.r.l • Home Sweet Home geometrically cut engineered oak wood flooring
Home Sweet Home geometrically cut engineered oak wood flooring
Home is defined as the place where one lives permanently, especially as a member of a family or household. The place that the young child spends almost exclusively the first years of his life. Usually the place that chooses to depict at his first attempts to draw.
A square with a triangle on the top form the iconic shape of what the most of us as children initially and as adults later we recognize as home. This iconic shape is the basic element of the pattern “Home sweet home”, the place we all miss when away, and we feel happy to return.

CHAIRIK
The four different art chairs, with illustrations on both the front and back, depict his signature stacked houses in bright colours and chaotic perspectives juxtaposed against a wood background, a tumultuous, yet strangely playful commentary on domesticity and chaos. Together, the chairs create a landscape of this figurative motive, where each chair centers around a particular colour- Red, Blue, Green and Yellow. The artwork is protected by the strong, smooth, matte, melamine surface that is typical of CHAIRIK chairs. The CHAIRIK chair was designed by Erik Magnussen and sell in five-figure numbers each year.
