Bazaar introduced a new range of furniture from the German brand, SaVeri The products are designed using different materials like including sand, granite and cement casts and are reinforced with natural fibre The materials have been hand-mixed by the craftsmen and applied with scoop and spatula to the formwork It is carefully compacted to ensure that no air holes are left For each item, the Ramie fibre is designed in different mats The range includes centre tables, fire tables, planters, dining tables and chairs which are composed of a special material called MarecoTM For the surface polish, the old venetian wall plaster technique has been employed Several steps are required to create the unique and shiny surface; it is sanded, then the pigment is applied with hand pressure to close all pores before it is sanded again These procedures are done several times Each craftsman leaves his “fingerprint” and ensures not one piece is the same BURL FURNITURE The Great Eastern Home recently introduced a range of luxury furniture made of burl wood with its unique shapes and ring patterns Burl is an unusual wooden growth found on certain trees and is used to create sculptures, artefacts and even furniture The aesthetic curves and rugged feel make burl furniture highly sought after The furniture range does not need any adornment or engraving as the designs are striking by nature 124 September 2018 ARCHITECTURE+ DESIGN LUXURIOUS SEATING IOTA, in collaboration with Ligne Roset, recently introduced two sofas, christened Ploum and Prado The Ploum seating, designed by R & E Bouroullec, is crafted with a stretchable covering and soft foam This combination of materials as well as the ample dimensions provide comfort and accommodates different ways of sitting, stretching out and lying down As per the designers’ wishes, the large settee is asymmetrical in construction – the right-hand backrest is a little higher than the one on the left, whilst the right-hand seat is slightly deeper than the left-hand one The zip on the rear of the backrest is off-centre The seat of the sofa can accommodate up to four people The Prado Sofa is a contemporary piece designed by Christian Werner It comprises a long seat that can be used independently or with other elements The weighted cushions are equipped with anti-slip system and will remain in place without needing to be supported by another object These elements can therefore be arranged on the sofa according to one’s needs, creating a ‘moving backrest’ The multipurpose sofa can also open into a bed simply by the turning of its seat cushion, the reverse of which is covered with mattress ticking GEOMETRIC BATHWARE GRAFF has expanded its FINEZZA faucet collection to include a coordinating sink and free-standing bathtub for a complete bathroom suite collection The offering mirrors the geometries and glamour celebrated during the Art Deco period, representing a perfect blend of grace and elegance The bathtub is characterised by a trapezoidal shape, which is accentuated by a layered detail at the top and base Traditional in its form, and modern in its material, the soaking tub with an integrated overflow offers users a luxurious oasis to relax and unwind Drawing upon the geometric shape exuded by collection’s bathtub, the matching sink offers a sophisticated design focal point in the bath The sink can be specified to the user’s liking, with no faucet holes (for wall-mount or vessel faucets), one faucet hole, or three faucet holes and is suitable for countertop, vanity, or drop-in installations Both the bathtub and sink offerings are available in White Gloss Sleek-Stone® or White Matte Sleek-Stone® finishes The Sleek-Stone® material combines 75% natural dolomitic minerals with resin to create a naturally durable surface ARCHITECTURE+ DESIGN September 2018 125 DURABLE SLABS StonelamđLaminam has released Architectural Faỗade Skin, a range of slabs crafted with natural raw materials, sustainable technology and recyclable products It is designed to multiply intended uses and applications With a thickness of 3-5mm, these flat and light slabs form an authentic architectural skin designed as a covering material for the faỗades They boast a wide range of design applications, ranging from soft, natural textures to industrial, ultra-technological options The slabs are produced using anti-pollution, anti-bacterial and self-cleaning Hydrotect® treatment When the light of the UV rays comes into contact with the surface of the outdoor covering and irradiates it, active oxygen is generated, which breaks down all the organic substances and oxidises the nitrogen oxides Rainwater spreads and creates a thin layer on the treated, water-resistant slabs, removing the dirt previously broken down by the active oxygen SLEEK GRATINGS Intellotech industries recently launched a collection of gratings Earlier, the brand used to manufacture products under the clamp category The company also revealed their plans to launch different products under this category STRONG BOARDS GREENPANEL, wood panel manufacturer, has launched Club Grade HDF (High-density Fibre board), a heavy-duty and water-resistant board It is a substitute for plywood and suitable for applications in moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms Made from high density fibre, these boards are anti-fungal as well as borer resistant, making them a fine choice for sturdy interiors The boards undergo a stringent selection of raw materials at manufacturing coupled with quality checks Due to its fibrous homogeneous construction GREENPANEL Club Grade HDF can be profiled, carved, moulded and routed easily, which is often a difficult task with plywood It has a higher density than local plywood, resulting in more strength and compactness By virtue of its constitution, it is termite- resistant, unlike plywood, which is vulnerable to woodworm 126 September 2018 ARCHITECTURE+ DESIGN For your
