Sedus: office chairs origins

Posted on September 1, 2010 //

Today we take so much for granted.
But it tooks initiative, ideas and innovations for the products to function and look as they do today.
Time and time again, the quest for the origin of this perfection leads to the German Rhine, Waldshut. The first-ever sprung swivel chair was developed here. As was the first five-star base with swivel castors. And the dynamic backrest is another Sedus development that still sets the standard internationally to this day. Task chairs with the Similar and Sedo-Lift mechanism are among the most comfortable and reliable in the world.

Italian office furniture: Frezza

Posted on September 5, 2009 //

FREZZA was founded in 1954 based on a family tradition in the home furnishing industry, and in 1974 started specializing in the production of office furniture.

The FREZZA product, both with its priceless lines destined to furnish executive and president offices and in the most technological and ergonomic clerical and call-center lines, is distinguished by the design, care and attention paid to every detail. This is due an industrialization process which involves all operating units, each specialized in a different process, to ensure a better industrial specialization, better process control, and above all quality.

Recently the My Desk line, designed by architect Sergio Lion, has been nominated for the “German Design Award 2010“, the Oscars of German Awards assigned with the support of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology.

Mascheroni artistic manufacture

Posted on July 31, 2009 //

Mascheroni, along with manual skills, use only high-quality materials: a file of wood of valuable breeds, a natural skin of special manufacture 😉

“The craftsman isn’t ever following a single line of instruction. He’s making decisions as he goes along. For that reason he’ll be absorbed and attentive to what he’s doing even though he doesn’t deliberately contrive this. His motions and the machine are in a kind of harmony. He isn’t following any set of written instructions because the nature of the material at hand determines his thoughts and motions, which simultaneously change the nature of the material at hand. The material and his thoughts are changing together in a progression of changes until his mind’s at rest at the same time the material’s right.”

“Sounds like art,” the instructor says.
“Well, it is art,” I say.

Admirers of Mascheroni classic furniture are admirers of classical style with luxury elements in furnish.

Caimi: 60 years of innovation

Posted on July 14, 2009 //

The professional career of Renato Caimi matched with an impressive spirit of continuity, is emblematic of the history of the Italian lightweight industry, due to Caimi’s ability to merge creativity, experimentation and technological innovation.

Established in 1949, today Caimi is one of the leading manufacturers of design oriented furniture and accessories for office and contract furniture market. Listen to the movie-interview to some designers who worked for Caimi

The philosophy underlying the activities of Caimi has always been based on a strong vocation for research, experimentation and innovation and derives from the wealth of technical and technological experience acquired since its foundation over fifty years ago: hundreds of patented products bear witness to the attention paid to original designs and novel projects. Caimi Brevetti’s products are easily recognisable; their design, technical and linear yet at the same time essential but refined conveys the concept of industrial design, combining form and function with a view to mass production based on features such as modularity, versatility, flexibility and a wise choice of materials.
