Striking at one of our most primitive yet powerful emotions, joy, Auto Reverse is a creative expression in the principle idea of touch. A fashion forward concept by Giuseppe Viganò is more than an elegant piece of furniture, it's one that allows you to play with form and style. Auto-Reverse is not just creative, it shapes the environment you and your ideological mindset lives within. We are inspired by connections and function, what Auto-Reverse manipulates is that both are needed to create a physical ideology. The cushions are constructed with a four-way zip allowing you to play with combinations that include leather on one side, fabric on the other. It has a chromatic finish, it plays with the senses, it maintains a discreet elegance. It's an idea that doesn't shy from being, an Arketipo idea.

We’d be lost without our backpacks wouldn’t we? They carry our lives through the objects we love and give us flashbacks to times in school where life felt so much easier. The older we get we use them to travel and to experience new adventures, our love for the backpack is thus universal for so many reasons. It was those memories and all the things that we throw into our backpacks (physical and metaphorical) that made us think, why can’t base a design on those very ideas. We created a sofa that is not only functional but looks like the most inviting place to sit for hours and to relax. Back Pack takes the idea of what is comfortable to us for so many reasons and brings it to a whole new context. Plush cushions, high quality wooden sections, modular concepts and a light touch to round off this stunning design.

If there was a piece of furniture that could encapsulate the groundbreaking sounds of a Pink Floyd track, then Crazy Diamond may just have filled a brief that we didn't even realize we set. Much like the band's versatility in mesmerising solos and percussion, this is a sofa that takes a different and Arketipo route in the pursuit of comfort and style. Characterised by a movement that gives you two very distinct seating positions, it stands out as a sofa that has thought through what modern living should be, in return, it makes any room that has it, stand to its own tune. Back movements are complemented with armrest functionality giving numerous seating options, in return, you get to float away in pure comfort. Living, loving, dreaming and being your own Crazy Diamond.

If minimalism is seen as a reaction as to what was before, then Moss is reacting to a time of over thinking; simplicity and elegance in this design are the new approach to mindful furniture making. Take its structure, a symbol of simplicity yet elegance; comfort here isn't some after-thought but an overriding feature of craft furniture making. Its elegance is accentuated by its overall form; there isn't an abundance of material, but everything is where it should be. Light piping provides a structure to an already delicate design whilst the materials used add texture and flair in all the right areas. Minimalism isn't something we shirk, for us, it’s an ideology that needs respecting. One that bridges comfort and design, one that evokes the senses in all the right places.

Night Fever: master the way you live. Night Fever a word so powerful in today's lexicon of popular culture that you can be forgiven for humming a tune, seeing that walk or even busting out a move; being an icon is about moments. Moments that capture a sense, a feeling, a way to live. Night Fever by Giuseppe Viganó is about your moment, a time for you to capture your evening, your way, to create your memories, to trigger them when you need to escape into a place of total comfort. Design is subjective, personal, a process of the imagination and here, with Night Fever, your imagination is crying out to be explored. This is a couch that wants you to find your spot, your comfort, your ambition to create your ultimate sense of living. Place the cushions how you want, discover the irregular shape to be playful in its execution - here, you decide how you want to sit, notice how the cushions can be placed to maximise your comfort and seating position and pay close attention to the stitching, another perfect example of precision in the details. Night Fever, it's more than pop-culture, it's about the way you live - is there anything more pop-culture than that?

It's hard not to think about a sofa with such an iconic name that evokes a song title, a way of living or someone you may even know; it was always our intention to create a sofa that was unexpected, that seduces and with Smooth Operator we think we've achieved just that. We're not playing with design, we're using it to define a system of living. We're playing in the realms of contemporary trends and dynamic festivity. What we have created is something that blends the lines of beauty and craftsmanship, creating a system where the cushions accompany the movements of the body thanks to thought out mechanical engineering. As Sade so eloquently put it, “he moves in space with minimum waste and maximum joy” and our own Smooth Operator does that beyond the metaphorical.

If timeless glamour were an objective, then Auto-Reverse Dream may just be heading for its title. It embodies everything that makes the sofa range so unique, and places it into a new context, the most private in all of our lives, the bedroom. Here we sleep, recharge, dream, find love and enter into a total state of relax, so why can't we create an environment that befits all of these necessary requirements? We can, and Auto-Reverse assumes the emotional mantra of creating something that stirs all of the emotions; those of design and function, those of endless possibilities and those that are seeking something that becomes a statement to how we can achieve total comfort. The minimal structure, the hand-crafted materials, the reversible cushions and the limitless opportunities to create something unique with stitchings, zips, colour and material choices, all brought across from the stand alone couch design into the bedroom. This is what makes Auto-Reverse Dream a true design reality.

Bringing together the aspects of the sister sofa range, Crazy Diamond, Arketipo continues to produce a line of work that understands the importance of design, comfort and engineering all interweaving and balancing to make Crazy Dream. If the sofa evoked strong emotional connections, then the bed continues in striving for the very same ethos; the headrest design is effortlessly brought across showcasing a design ideology that is the Arketipo way. The headrest delivers on ultimate comfort and flaunts an engineering ethos so typically ours. Adjustable design is rarely an easy thing to pass off, especially how this function allows you to hide cushions and provide comfort, but Crazy Dream makes it look so; retro chic design for a modern age, another feature of this beautiful configuration.

If the art of effortless was a destination, then Barracuda is on its way to mastering it. This is a chair that projects a unique lightness, it looks like it is floating and yet, it is a work of precise engineering that brings together style and function like no other. A dynamic and robust metal structure that combines a modern and punctuated style. Comfortable, elastic and highly resistant, it may be used by scuba divers, but here, it has found a home in high end interior standards.

Freedom, a basic right in design and beyond.We live in a time where freedom has never been more discussed. Where the possibility to express, to choose, to live a life you wish to have without any kind of associated reason. Freedom is what we crave on our psychological, spiritual and physical level.
It's why our latest design from Giuseppe Viganó is a manifestation of the later. We must never be held back on what we can achieve in interior style and how we physically interact with the objects that fill our lives as well.
Low back, diamond-shaped seat, metal structure to support its soft and sinuous lines. “Freedom” in name and in fact.

Designed like a semi-closed flower, punctuated with large charactful zips and made the Arketipo way by manipulating colours and contrasts, LOL :) is an ode to chat language. Much like chat language, LOL :) is a design that is distinctly its own. Informal, fresh, young, this is not the kind of seat that would be traditionally found in a castle, but homes, every home changes with time. There are new ideas, new motivations, new ways to communicate, so why can't design replicate this as well, a new way to talk? It has, it's called LOL :)

When you ask, "what should a modern chaise-longue look like?" the answer, it seems, is Manta. A composition of classical lines that take a life of their own in this stunning new design. Supported with an isometric sculpted frame it intelligently pierces the structure at specifically engineered points, making Manta float and accentuate all the lines of its developed structure.

If you were given a brief to create something that captured dreamlike qualities with a sense of irony towards a fantasy world, what would be your creation? Ours is Overdrive. Dynamic design is something that plays with the emotive core, makes us question so many things, but what it should do is also shift our perceptions. Overdrive is there to do that very thing. We understood that creating something so radical and eye catching would also create many questions. Our answers are simple; we wanted a chair that moved and created instant emotional connection. We wanted a chair that made you appreciate isometric shaping and our range of materials. We wanted a chair that moved between the nuances of the contemporary world and that of fantasy. We wanted a chair that made you place it on that list of "if I could, I would." Overdrive is designed to provoke, so our question is, has it?

Design for the bold, the risk takers, the daredevils the eccentric and we say, there is nothing wrong with that. An original design that is purposefully constructed to provide whoever uses it with two strong sensations; the first is comfort. The high back, regal in nature with a wide seat allows for you to melt and slide into whatever position you want, embracing you the way a luxury armchair should. The second is the unique headrest design; pinch-quilted upholstery with quilted parts making it anything but a shrinking violet. This is a refined piece of furniture, one that determines what a statement piece should really be.

At first glance, you understand the reason behind the name; there is a darkness that pierces a designer's mind, one that would be normal in a world of superheroes and super villains, Sin Seaty is an acute homage to the graphic illustrators we have come to admire over the years. Look closely and you will notice a harmonious design that picks up on the female silhouette, a quilted back that can be made into any of the Arketipo fabric or leather range and a development of slim lines running throughout the design. Design is never fixed, it's a fluid appreciation of everything around us; who says graphic novels can't be just more inspiration. Sin Seaty is proof of that.

"There is no need to dress like everyone else. It's much more fun to create your own look."- Twiggy -The 1960s supermodel may have just understood retro design before retro became a thing, but one look at our chair and you can see why we were so inspired by her. It's anything but the norm, it is a look within itself; part retro flavour, part chic fashion style. From the leather padded back, or velvet depending on your choice, to the piping around the perimeter, this is about a unique take on what makes your chair, yours. It is so much fun to create your own look, it's hard to not be inspired by Twiggy, that much is true!

Simple ideas can sometimes be the hardest to achieve from an aesthetic perspective. A small table, like any other is just a top with four legs and yet Stijl manages to break the ordinary with an ode to some of the great geometric artists of a generation. From Bryce Hudson to Josef Albers, their impact is clear to see with Stijl. Linear shapes poke and pierce through each range of materials such as crystal, cement and wood adding texture and flow to design; together creating something exceptional. The final touch is the square metal legs, delivering intersecting lines and strong vertical drops in powerful colours and tones.

If one is an heir to the throne, and another was a pioneer of multi-instrumentalism and musical fusion, then Prince, by Giuseppe Viganó is unashamedly the heir to grand design. One look and you understand everything you need to know about this stunning vision of what a dining table should be; a place to meet, talk, eat and share unique moments in time. The legs are strong yet refined by an intricate design, one which calls to a different time. Their form is integral to the total approach of the table, they are, if you look closely, based on the form of a fireplace - moreover, they evoke elements of that meeting area where everyone would sit and talk. This is a table that invites you to social living in the grandest of forms. The top? It's nobility done with a sense of belonging; here, everyone is welcome. It may be big, it may even have swooping lines and curvatures that evoke the idea of... big, but what it manages to do is shrink that space between you and your guests. Prince, a design statement of social living captured for generations to come.

We dare you to look at, Amy and ask the question, why doesn't this throwback to 1970s design deserve a space in modern living? The answer is simple, it does. You are faced with a dilemma however, what do you look at first? Is it the cantilevered structure which creates a sense that you're floating whilst seated? Is it the seat designed with enveloping comfort and curvature in all the right places? Or Is it the slender and decisive armrests that contrast and compliment the eye-catching base? Amy may be an ode to the 1970s, but what a respectful way to bring back the best of design inspiring era.

It should not surprise anyone to know that when it comes to making chairs appear to float, or cut through the shapes of the room with a form of its own, Giuseppe Viganò is a master. Numa which in Arabic means delight, delivers not only on the name but also in how the chair provides balance to its surroundings. A bit art deco, a bit art nouveau, NUMA is an expression of design that understands where the timeless masterpiece belongs - in your home. Light yet strong, soft yet knowing. Made with brushed steel, the first glance can deceive but one close inspection and you are sure to be delighted.

Modern design and geometric interactions create a chair that expresses a new wave of formal elegance in furniture craftsmanship. Not unlike a basketball that has been split open, it encompasses a soft leather material that is subsequently stitched into the design providing an aesthetic and sensorial element, wildly contrasting with the three-dimensional metal framed base. In all, Victoria pursues beauty through conscious abstract lines detailing comfort throughout this revolutionary approach.

Three distinct elements characterise what is the design ideology behind Aura. The first is the distinct and geometric shape that provides balance and poise whilst executing a sense of refined style. The second is the featured marble or glass top providing drama and bursts of colour. Finally, it is enveloped by a metal tube. Combined, Aura is more than a sideboard: it's a vision that understands what it means to create personality through design and carefully selected materials whilst playing with the visual and connecting the emotional dots at the same time.

There are few interior furnishings where something so visible is designed to be seen rather than blend with the rest. Ladybird is a bookshelf designed by Giuseppe Viganò and this does everything to stand out. Iron rod raw metal makes up the rhomboid structure, whilst warm woods or marble make up the shelving. Connected through a unique bolt system, together with the contrast of shapes, a parallel design makes Ladybird a bookshelf with a difference.

If you were to take a punk drummer, English teacher and jazz guitarist and form a band, they would be, The Police. If you were to take modular design, champion micaceous structure and have glass or wood shelving, that would be a Giuseppe Viganò design. Whilst the former would make you think of the song, the later would make you take note of all the little details that go into making something so unique for a living space. The composition, the balance, the striking juxtaposition of materials and poise. Roxanne, it is about bringing things together you never would expect to be a hit.
Giuseppe Viganò is involved in industrial planning of furnishing products and in stage-managing of some Companies in the same field. He offers graphic consultancy to realize catalogues, supervising directly the picture, the layouts, the communication and advertising pages. He plans design exhibitions and permanent products in furniture stores or in temporary spaces for specific events, and he personally chooses products and he studies the set. Often the experimentation or the use of a new material becomes a starting point for the design of not only a product but of an entire collection. The research for references from the world of art ,fashion and poetry, are an opportunity to approach the project obliquely, many of its most popular products are born from the concepts of painting and glamorous details, other times they are poetic gestures that create interesting shapes to be developed into new proposals.
