The arched design of the novelties by Oblure and Gebrüder Thonet Vienna
In natural or artificial stone, bricks, reinforced concrete, steel, aluminum, wood,arch evolves from a common load-bearing structure with a curvilinear axis, used above all in civil constructions and for the most grandiose engineering works, for decorative motifs. Or rather, performing the functions of both structure and ornament, the formal repetition of the vault much loved in Roman times it fits into the inhabited space as an all-round design solution. New proportions and applicative experiments to the circular sixth measures, thus giving back to the arch unpublished, with elliptical, lowered, parabolic measurements or devices that design circular furnishing objects with disparate use. Come and tell the vis à vis of the weekin fact, the repeated arc theory affects both the field of lighting, with Arc di Oblureboth the furniture design sector, as demonstrated by the new Arcadia di Gebrüder Thonet Vienna.
Ideal for kitchen tables and islands dedicated to preparing food and sharing dishes, it also adapts to the sales center and offices to illuminate the space with rhythm and creativity. In fact, Arco lighting project designed by Johan Lindstén and Markus Johansson for Oblure, it is a seductive and captivating suspension that takes shape and color in a metal luminaire with a perfectly geometric silhouette. As its name suggests, the light solution produced bySwedish company founded in Gothenburg, whose label is the fusion between the words object and allure, appears as a single “arch shape that travels in light and, in its entirety, as a pendant that resembles and shows appreciation for its architectural vaults built for centuries”. The seven pillars that chase each other bridging the horizon are all equipped with a spotlight, each of which provides the right glow by focusing now on surfaces, now on particular objects, within the walls of a domestic room or a less private environment.
Repetition and continuity are also at the center of the new project presented by Serena Confalonieri for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna. The Milan-based designer and art director has in fact signed for historic Austrian company Arcadia, a fun pouf inspired by the arches and colonnades present in the courtyards of neoclassical residences. The generous seat, a round geometry that invites conviviality and sharing, rests on a sculptural base that steals the show on the upholstery covered in fabric. Playing with curved wood, a characteristic element of the brand, the classic arch bends to take the shape of a vault, which multiplies becoming a structural part of the support and an aesthetic element of the project. The result of the first collaboration with the designer, who was able to dialogue with the tradition of the company, analyzing its cultural references, studying the materials and the working method, this piece of furniture is able to fit with ease in different private environments As well as in public spaces.
