Generation by Knoll: training at La Mercanti offices

In La Mercanti offices now you can see, touch and seat on the Generation chair by Knoll and few days ago the arch. Domenico D’Agostino showed us it in all its innovative and curious aspects.

Generation by Knoll moves as you move: it takes the idea of elastic design, where a product rearranges itself in response of its users, to a new level.

D’Agostino explained us what it means that “the chair moves as you move”: the flexible backrest has three positions, the seat moves smoothly, and the main curiosity is that office chair Generation allows you to sit in some different positions thanks to the flex seat that offers 270 degree of seat edge flex without a hard frame or obtrusive levers along the seat perimeter. In fact you can take the classic position for work, but also sideways to facilitate the conversation, or other informal postures, when you want to relax yourself.

Furthermore, this new office chair received Greenguard certification because of its high value of environmental sustainability.

La Mercanti staff thanked the arch. D’Agostino and invites everyone to come to our offices to try the chair of “Last Generation” 😉

La Mercanti supply Isko denim offices

The Turkish denim specialist Isko has opened a new concept showroom called Iskoteca in San Benedetto del Tronto, and selected La Mercanti solutions for their office furniture.

The intensive cooperation between the technical team of La Mercanti and ArchPlan outlined by the company, allowed to develop customer requirements into concrete design solutions.

The new 360 square meters Iskoteca archive and showroom holds about 2.500 jeanswear items (soon to become 5.000) all made with Isko denims and finished with outstanding treatments.

“The aim of the initiative is not to make a new showroom for sales,” explained Moreno De Angelis, manager of Iskoteca and longtime expert in the development of treatments and washes for significant laundries and brands such as D&G. “It is rather an extra service we are offering our customers. They can come and see how our materials can be transformed – most differently and creatively. In addition, each garment can be tracked and every finish can be exactly reproduced according to its specific ‘recipe’ and laundry involved.”
