Draenert Studio
Saturday, June 6th, 2009DRAENERT has designed and produced top-quality designer furniture in the tradition of a manu-factory for forty years. The main emphasis of the collection is on dining and coffee tables with patented extension-mechanisms, as well as chairs matching in form and style. Founded in 1968, the brand is representative since four decades for art and designer furniture, traditional craftsmanship, quality and first-class workmanship, exclusiveness and know-how. The aesthetic of the products orientates itself to-wards the international form language of the classic modernism. DRAENERT is a brand with a distinctive way they see themselves: International style paired with a strong regional consciousness. An intellectual rela-tionship to the collection is cultivated, which is reflected by the interaction of basic furniture and art. In the mean time, a legendary art collection exists, for which famous architects have designed models. These are in many international museums and collections, for instance the Victoria and Albert Museum in London and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. This closeness to the arts allows the company to have visions for the development of new models. Due to the big sales success of chairs, the exclusive upholstery manufactory DRAENERT SWISS AG was founded in Switzerland. The future strategy lies in the development, as well as production of full programmes in the seating furniture area. In addition, the company is known as stone specialist with a huge stone collection. 200 natural stone types from all over the world in an own stone park invite to viewing and fascinate new customers every day.
The company, in the mean time managed by the second owner generation, Dr. Patric Draenert, ex-ports currently to over 30 countries. The cooperation with well-known designers like Werner Aisslinger and Prof. Wulf Schneider gave DRAENERT several awards up to the red dot “Best of the best”. In the autumn 2007, a new chapter in the company history was opened by the cooperation with Pog-genpohl - the most famous and renowned kitchen brand in the world. The trend of joining kitchen and living/dining area is taken account of by the so-called Dining Desk. A new future-orientated age has begun.
Droog
Saturday, June 6th, 2009Droog started in 1993, as a statement on design, a no-nonsense, down to earth design mentality opposed to the high style and form based world of design. In contrast, Droog proposed a highly conceptual approach, one captured by the Dutch word ‘droog’ meaning ‘dry’ or ‘wry’. This mentality has defined Droog as a conceptual design company over the last 16 years, and to a large extent, has defined Dutch design internationally.
Droog values what it means to be human, with subjectivity, notions of beauty and meaning, and desire for high quality experiences at its core. Droog stands for a luxury of content rather than luxurious materials. Whether it is authenticity, humour, slowness, affordability, or nature, the abundance of what is scarce has always been our luxury.
Droog at home is Amsterdam, home to our flagship store and office, including Factory & outlet, Creative agency and the Lab. From this base we operate worldwide with partners, clients, manufacturers and designers to develop products, projects, and presentations & events that change perspective on daily life, informed by the local context, yet in relation to urgencies on a global scale. Droog New York is more than a store; it is at the same time a gallery in which all items are for sale, including pieces of its interior, in custom shapes and materials for the home interiors of the United States and Canada. Droog also has a store in Tokyo, and distributes the Droog collection with partners in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America.

The company currently expresses a unique combination of tradition and avantgarde techniques in its creation.

Ligne Roset

Designers including Didier Gomez, Peter Maly, and Pascal Mourgue have added their imprimaturs to the Ligne Roset line with pieces that have become legend.

Seats, pieces of furniture, lighting, textiles, rugs or bed linens: the idea precedes and the technique follows
Leolux
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009
The roots of the pluriform world of Leolux is formed in the minds and hearts of an international selection of designers and artists that feel closely connected to the Leolux world of thought. They challenge Leolux, as an idea factory, to forge new paths. It is their ideas that form the basis of the collection.
Giovannetti
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Founded in the mid sixties, Giovannetti hit immediately the international attention with innovative and researched products, perfectly matching the experimental climate of those years, when new forms were being created and new ways were sought to satisfy the growing necessity of relaxing, meeting and conversing. This is the philosophy which gave birth to a series of projects – numerous those designed by Superstudio of Florence – which today may be found in the most precious art galleries and achieve astonishing figures at international auctions at Christie’s or Sotheby’s. First among all Anfibio (1970), a product which, born as a convertible sofa, fulfilling both functions of sofa and bed in a simple and poetic way; adds the sensuality and charisma of those who continue to interpret the people’s desires, today like yesterday. Anfibio enabled the commercial growth of the company (more than 31,000 pieces produced); moreover the cultural one, raising it to the Olympus of Art and Design by the assignment of a series of awards which made it being represented in the collections of the major museums of contemporary art in the world.
The global comparison has rewarded this choice, making it more conscious and leading Giovannetti to a production line characterized, since about 10 years, by furnishing solutions which redesign the domestic environment making it creative, personalized and free of any scheme: interpreters of this stage are the swivel chair Jetsons, the series of Flower chairs, the modular program Dune, the Table Wave, the new chair Love, and finally the conversation group Star. The fascinating aesthetic and formal research always have the aim to meet the needs of the customers, because to renew means first of all to respond to the desires to an always more heterogeneous and demanding public, to re-invent its pleasures, to improve the quality of life; thus explains the success of products such as Ancella, Roly-Poly, Gabbiano, Link, Giramondo. They represent the energy and vitality of a company which for 40 years has known how to conquer the clients heart, because Giovannetti… is made with love.
Porada
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009The company Porada was established in 1968 by Luigi Allievi with the help of his 4 sons in order to expand the production of chairs, started in 1948, to other branches of the home furnishing. The Porada collection is the result of the proper combining of technological processes with the artisan tradition of this area. The first step to the present collection was done in 1962 when the firm started to work with the architects Alberio & Cerbaro, then with Martino Perego that developed for Porada “Linea 91” and “Hoppo”. The article “Porada” has always been based on the work of heartwood that continues today combined with glass, steel and plastic materials. This new combination of materials was introduced by Tarcisio Colzani that developed among several items the system “Cuccagna”, a system of columns that can be equipped with several accessories for home interiors. Nowadays Porada cooperates with several architects in addition to Mr. Colzani the projects are developed by Marconato & Zappa, Seveso & Trezzi, Gottein, Gonser. The main feature of the actual collection is functionality, design and total quality.
Wood, preferably heartwood; enormous attention to detail but clean-cut lines are an absolute must; finish hallmarked by artisan skills: in one word - Porada. What would appear to be the secret recipe for any article is actually the key factor which has allowed the well-known Italian manufacturer of furnishing accessories to go international and to be recognized by a huge public. Though the spoken languages differ greatly they all have a common denominator - a penchant for good Italian design which has perfected the art of combining grace and harmony into the shape and function of a single object. And for Porada, this is also intrinsically entwined with the use. Even the most authentic decorations must abide by these which become essential parts of the design. The essential parts of the design. The Porada range, which is wide and varied, is marked by simple elegance of the lines and the product mix; it is internationally oriented, a mixture of linear, squared elements and others which are softer and more decorative. In addition to design which can be read immediately by the consumers from different cultures, there is the added value provided by the Porada production - an important factor which has contributed to the great success the products have enjoyed both in Italy and abroad: the very careful treatment of the wood - a process which from various aspects is still tightly linked to the artisan tradition, started after the Second World War with Mr. Allievi Luigi the father of the actual four owners of the company. Those who choose Porada appreciate stability, meaning the very best in formal quality and materials. In other words, one could say that the articles produced by this company are destined to last through the years: inspired by the shape and decorations of a distant past, they are flavoured with just the right dose of restyling which transform them into “timeless modern classics”. And this is the secret ingredient of its success recipe: the fact that they are both classical and contemporary. Classical for the seriousness with which the post-production phase is tackled; seriousness which is extremely important in the relationship with the foreign clients, which materialized into punctual deliveries and the strong support of the sales network.
Our catalogue let the products speak for themselves; they can tell their story well, they tell of the company’s philosophy and the style, they are the only ones qualified to speak the language which is understood throughout the world - the language of furniture.
Wunderley
Tuesday, May 12th, 2009Part of the pleasure of travel is finding unique things that reflect the beauty of another culture. On a trip to Morocco in the early ’90’s, Glenn and Ellen Wunderley discovered classically beautiful wood boxes fashioned in tiny shops. These boxes, and the burled Thuja wood they were made from were so exquisite that we believed that people in the U.S., who would never have an opportunity to travel to Morocco to appreciate them, would be interested in purchasing them if they were available here. For this reason, we formed Wunderley Imports. Since that time, we have made many additional trips to this exotic land where the souks are filled with artisans working with the most basic materials and tools. The art they create reflects the beauty of a culture that Europe knew as the Moors in Spain - a culture rich in Islamic art as it melded with other ideas at this crossroads of Africa, Arabia and Europe. We were fascinated by the ability of a poor people to create beauty from what we in America would consider nothing. We were happy to work with hardworking craftspeople to encourage quality control and to introduce some of their products and culture to the American market. This culture includes classic Moorish pottery designs, Moroccan tea accessories, henna designs and items fashioned of camel bone. Our travels also led us to other treasures of the Mediterranean region that we had not seen in this country. In Damascus, another ancient crossroads, we found artisans skilled in the old art of Intarsia, or inlay of fine wood, shell and mother-of-pearl in wood boxes and furniture, as well as Damask and Damascene silk brocade. It is our pleasure to continue our search for fine products new to the U.S. market. We receive personal satisfaction by being able to offer an outlet to a number of superb craftspeople. But, when we chose to put our name on the company, we made a commitment to quality, value and customer satisfaction. We are proud to stand behind our name, knowing that it stands for uniquely beautiful products and your satisfied customer.
