Andreu World presents its new designs for the circular economy at Stockholm Furniture Fair  

Mariya

Sometimes the construction system of a design defines its personality and gives it its own personality and new functions. This happens with Mariya, the collection of sofas designed by Phillipe Starck, where the plywood board is the protagonist of an elaborate construction system inherited from the cabinetmaking tradition, drawing on systems of joints and interlocking made of wood, without a single screw, and in which its arms – in the two and three-seater versions- create a storage system that enhances its functionality.

Philippe Starck

With a career rich of 10,000 creations, Philippe Starck, world famous creator with multifaceted inventiveness, is always focused on the essential, his vision: that creation, whatever form it takes, must improve the lives of as many people as possible. Starck believes this poetic and political, rebellious and benevolent, pragmatic and subversive duty should be shared by everyone. It’s as a true visionary that he puts this art of innovation to the service of a design and democratic ecology, action-driven and respectful to both human and nature’s heritage.

Õru collection 

The Õru collection is strongly influenced by the design of the 70’s and is also inspired by a certain Japanese feeling and mood. A vigorous, iconic and bold design in which the striking architecture of the three feet is reminiscent of the shape of an oar, and is the result of precise wood craftsmanship.

What stands out are the joints between the wooden pieces and the upholstered parts, which have a natural and harmonious finish, making Õru a unique design that represents an innovative and personal vision of the seating concept. Innovation lies in sustainability. The upholstery is made of recycled fabric and the internal foam is also made of recycled fibers, combining craftsmanship with industrial technology.

The Õru collection consists of chairs and armchairs, with two width options, stools in two heights and a lounge chair version. Its solid construction system is based on a structure of three ash wood feet, which provides maximum resistance in the most demanding uses.

Calma Chair

Calma is a line of chairs for work from home that combines the functionality of an operational and ergonomic seat with the appeal and approachability of the home. Its design is encapsulated in a die-cast aluminum frame that wraps around the backrest to create a frame that flows seamlessly into the circular armrests. As people return to the physical workplace, it is essential that these environments are inspiring and calming to replicate the benefits many found in working from home.

Calma draws inspiration from the comfort of home in its palette of handcrafted materials and simple lines to create a welcoming work seat, a soothing presence in the often stressful environment of the workplace. Its lines envelop the user to enhance comfort and tranquility, by means of a design where engineering and beauty go hand in hand, resulting in a perfect solution for any public or private space.
