Cask by Expormim

9 September 2021 in Furniture Comment

The new Cask collection designed for Expormim is a clear example of the harmony and elegance that arises when stripping down objects to their very core.

The Cask collection consist of an armchair, a sofa and a seating island. We have collaborated with Expormim to scrutinize the various ways that natural rattan can be used to strike a balance between creative ideas and technical realization, creating a look that reflects the familiarity of past wicker design, but with a modern and streamlined allure. Versatile, comfortable and elegant, the furniture has everything one would expect of a classic.

Menu Offset Sofa
Designed by Norm Architects

A contemporary sofa, understated yet statement-making, Offset is the result of research into ‘balance’ by Norm Architects. The studio wanted to create a sofa as simply as possible while embracing a set of paradoxes: making it substantial yet delicate in appearance, architectural yet inviting and homey. In the studio, the designers experimented with offsetting – playing with proportions, narrow armrests versus a thick generous seat, supported by four stubby metal legs. The clean-lined boxy shape is inspired by minimalist art, gently softened for a welcoming expression and maximised for comfort.
