Salon Maison & Objet, Paris - Tacchini

Avant-Scène Favorites:

Babela
Design: Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni


The Babela chair is the product of an historic partnership between brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni, with Dino Gavina, the Italian industrial design pioneer. Unveiled in 1958 as part of the furnishings for Milan's Chamber of Commerce in Via Meravigli, it was designed to solve the furnishing needs of large meeting rooms and conference halls. The chair is built light so that it can be easily moved around, and stackable with minimal clearance. It can be arranged to create long straight rows, armrest against armrest, making the most of the available space. Its functionality is enhanced by a pronounced feeling of comfort and correct posture.



Cage
Design: Gordon Guillaumier


Gordon Guillaumier's Cage coffee table design focusses on the use of metal strips which have been stamped with a slight bend so as to soften the geometry of the whole piece. It is made to adapt to the rounded shapes of chairs and sofas.




Dressed
Design: Luca Nichetto


By drawing on the protective padding used in sportswear, designer Luca Nichetto incorporated the sofa into a single covering that "clothes" the frame like a dress. Soft, comfortable, and fully customizable with different types of coverings, Dressed stands for a casual-chic style that is as well suited to the home as it is to public furnishings.

V-Table
Design: Xavier Lust


The V-Table collection is a project with a marked simplicity and versatility that meets the needs of large-scale production and distribution, while maintaining high standards in quality and style. Its lightweight design combines a sense of movement with excellent three-leg stability. Many forms, finishes and options match the needs of different decors: indoor and outdoor, households, or collective, professional and catering spaces. The table is a great furnishing complement to sofas or chairs.



Sancarlo
Design: Achille Castiglioni


The Sancarlo armchair and sofa consist of a basic structure with an added metal tubing frame, upholstered with padding in variable degrees of thickness to ensure optimal support to every part of the body. A synthesis of ergonomics and design that is suitable for public spaces and the modern household.
