A word by Casamania
For the International exhibition Maison & Objet 2011, Casamania is back with a collection of pieces selected and developed with a close and careful attention to detail. The collection is characterised by a strong desire to bring a sense of enthusiasm and optimism into the spaces, which surround us, bringing together issues of comfort and the use of high quality materials. A collection of exciting and captivating products, some of which presented last April at the Salone del Mobile of Milan, creations by leading international designers and young designers alike. Among the numerous themes touched upon by the 2011 collection, perhaps the most omnipresent is the subject of eco-sustainability, a topic which is increasingly at the heart of the design and development process. Casamania is proud to present products which take this concept further than the mere idea of ‘recyclability’, embarking instead into a world where sustainability is extended into areas of social responsibility and cultural preservation: the teak used in the collection comes from special plantations which are certified and managed according to the rigorous criteria of the Forest Stewardship Council; the wool used in the GRANNY lamp is cultivated as part of a project designed to safeguard the traditions of the Tyrolean shepherds and famers, then treated and elaborated by the workers of a community based project rehabilitating people in need. The POLIART tables are part of an initiative designed to offer support for some of Europe’s most renowned historic cities.
Casamania is always recognised for the strong use of colour, a unique, unusual and rich language that put quality at the first place. The company is characterized by the desire of diffusing its own personality, enthusiasm and positivity in the spaces that we furnish. Casamania prefers to let its products speak for the brand, telling the story of a company which aims to furnish all spaces, both defined and transcendental, with a strong sense of personality, good taste and enthusiasm.
Avant-Scène Favorites:
Nuance
Design: Luca Nichetto
Nuance is a new concept in upholstered seating. Nuance is available in two versions: one designed to be used with a table, and a “lounge” version- lower, wider and more welcoming. The upholstery of Nuance incorporates a subtle range of colours thanks to the careful workmanship involved in utilising fabric off-cuts. Nuance combines a strong ergonomic approach with visual appeal and the hand-made tradition of the master craftsman, giving extra value to the product as well as minimising waste.
Materials: fire resistant, expanded foam with metal internal structure; Cover: fabric or leather
Finishes: fabric or leather
Trans Her
Design: Fabio Novembre
Lightness and sensuality come together in the latest version of the iconic HER chair. Continuing research into new chromatic effects lead to the development of a new production method, which in turn, has given birth to a new transparent, glass like version. Trans Her is created using rotational moulding technology combined with transparent polycarbonate.
Materials: polycarbonate
Finishes: transparent, smoked
Philippe I
Design: Sam Baron
Philippe I is a mini-collection of “gueridon” or small tables and coffee tables. The Philippe I side tables are easy to place in any type of environment, either singularly or in couples. The collection is completed with an intimate dining or coffee table, which evokes the romanticism of candle-lit dinners in the warm Parisian night. Explicit stylistic references reminiscent of the 18th century French cabinetry tradition, coupled with an attention to detail, manufacturing methods, and usability that are characteristic of our 21st century way of life.
Materials: lacquered MDF, Lime-wood, walnut, transparent/ mirrored glass
Finishes: black, white
