When people ask about statement pieces, subtlety is rarely ever discussed, and yet Atlas is perhaps one of the grand expressions of form and style. Atlas aims to solve one of the biggest design questions in furniture, how does one get freedom without compromise? The answer lies in this design, an abundance of isometric shapes softened with different forms gets to the core principle, but Atlas is more. It's about bringing together different ideas, ones that capture a space and multiple iterations. Structure is a complex mix of thin, large, high and low arms, back cushions, corner units, chaise-lounges and accessories that blend together to create a cosmopolitan design structure, responding to an ever intricate design brief of modern living.

You'd be forgiven if you didn't start humming to hits of the Rolling Stones when you saw the title of this latest design from Arketipo. Hit after hit, the Stones knew that their gut punching riffs, R&B melodies and flamboyance could be the making of a band; we at Arketipo could be accused of the same. Design after design, we've come to understand what makes a hit in the world of interior living, Brown Sugar then, is just another evolution of our thought process. We've understood that simplicity reigns, that distinct lines and shapes form this unique design. We understand what is designed with purpose and what comes as an evolution of design form. What we deliver is something bold, a distinct personality of modern design. This is Brown Sugar.

At times, the best thing in the world, the thing we need the most, is a warm embrace. The Cure’s “Close to Me” is about one of those times, and the Close to Me sofa is all about that embrace. With an intriguing aesthetic appeal and strong yet warm character, Close to Me delivers an unmistakable feeling of hospitality. The volumetric construction expresses itself through soft, billowy cushions with a lived-in, “shabby-chic” elegance that’s endlessly welcoming. This classy and distinguished combination of form and comfort finds the perfect harmony between traditional hand-tailored precision and 21st-century style. Formal clarity and meticulous care are the creative signatures of Close to Me. The elliptical feet of the sofa serve not only their natural function but are also uniquely expressive sculptural details. The wraparound belt provides a visual and physical embrace that brings together the supple back and armrest cushions in an intimate gesture. The belt’s assiduously fashioned leather straps and metal clasps epitomize the quality of the exclusive finishes that enhance the charm of the collection.

"A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself." This sentence by the rock icon, Jim Morrison, defines the character of this sofa; a timeless and versatile design combining form, function and material choices to a new level, that of an Arketipo obsessive design brief. It has two very distinct layers that separate this from the standard, casual designs that imprison, rather than let go free. The first is a structure, with a small incline, designed to hold the seat and cushions, the second is the cushioning itself. Designed to sit and accentuate the form, the cushions showcase layout whilst the thin metal legs provide a visual lightness to the furniture set. Morrison is a design that revels in freedom; freedom of design and freedom of structure; our friends have allowed us to make it that way.

There is nothing uniform about design. It's about ideas that search for a new direction, defining new grounds or changing landscapes along the way; Nash is shifting ideas about "normal". Nash is a constant iteration of angular design, one that asks questions of the designer and the owner, one that understands that "anything but normal" will do. A modular concept where the sofa can be made into multiple variations makes Nash an Arketipo design, but what separates Nash is that any combination provides angular flow. The backrests to the seats, the armrests, large or thin, to the beautifully constructed feet, from inversion to angles pointing outwards, Nash is a modular design concept that understands when it comes to making a statement, only a combination of the unique will make an impact.

The Punta Ala outdoor sofa, characterized by its enveloping and rigorous elementary geometric shapes, has a fundamental structure in metal, conceived as a delicate and sturdy basket that serves to accommodate supple cushions, which convey a feeling of pleasurable relaxation. Punta Ala emphasizes the juxtaposition between the rigid tubular lines of the load-bearing shell and the simple, soft volumes of the seating area, employing a lexicon of compositional purity that yields a sofa of nimble and airy conception. The elaborate weave and warp of the straps, unique in this genre, establishes its own aesthetic leitmotif. The straps, which originate from a sole ribbon, come together in succession in the backrest, a seamless braiding that produces a dynamic and distinctive zigzag pattern. The resulting sensation is one of lightness and freshness: a marine breeze that caresses and reinvigorates. The originality and strong identity of the individual features, along with the union between relaxation and aesthetic pleasure that can be perceived at first glance, make Punta Ala a sofa with which to feel at ease – a design solution that underscores the objective of creating pieces of pronounced sensitivity, subtle protagonists with innate grace. Satellite elements are available that can be autonomously integrated with the structure: minimal protrusions, small promontories formed from functional surfaces in solid wood, meet the various needs of domestic arrangement along the entire posterior and lateral perimeter of the sofa like rhythmic punctuation, allowing for a variety of creative compositions.

With its tall cushions, angled armrests, and deep seating position, That’s Life evokes a high-modern jazz lounge where one might easily trade glances with a member of the Mad Men ensemble. Autonomous platforms, both soft and rigid, come together in compositions that can be extended in virtually any direction to meet the various needs of domestic arrangement. The artisanally crafted components combine different types of wood with marble in imaginative juxtapositions. Capable of being paired with the upholstered elements in a variety of ways, they inspire an architectural free play that only strengthens the effect of articulated linearity. The gentle volumes of the armrests and backrests widen slightly toward the outer edges, as if beckoning in invitation. The pure, essential design of That’s Life, composed with geometric rigor, is immediately perceptible, and its vivid, layered lines have a dramatic appeal that’s all their own. Frank Sinatra’s immortal “That’s Life” urges all of us who’ve ever been knocked down to pick ourselves up “and get back in the race.” Refreshed and revived by this remarkable sofa, you’ll alight with the verve to do just that.

The detail makes the design. In the planning and construction of the Big Night bed, the angular clasp is the focal point. The fold of the headboard is a spontaneous, natural gesture: it expresses the ancestral discovery that surfaces could be modeled, the concrete action from which a concept comes into being. It’s the very gesture of fingers pinching together that suggests how to keep the shape of the fold stable, through the use of a fibula, a U-shaped metallic clasp realized with exquisite metalwork – a minimalist accessory with a clean and rigorous shape. The clip pinches the edges of the continuous surface of the covered panel, generating an overhang in the fold and enhancing the well-tailored qualities of the fabric. This exactingly crafted embellishment is duplicated in the corners of the bed frame, becoming fibula and foot alike. The headboard is a meticulous rectangular-shaped panel, folded on the sides, at once a protective niche and a refined aesthetic element. The vast, generous lenticular surfaces are taut yet accommodating, enhancing the experience of intimate comfort that makes the night an endless adventure. More than a bed to sleep on, Big Night is a stage where personal stories can unfold.

Argentario’s name reveals a vision: an endless glittering sea to gaze on while stretching out serenely in the shade of a portico or under the warm caresses of the sun’s rays. The Argentario sunbed provides the ideal opportunity to give into the pleasures of resting and reading, lulled by the sound of birdsong, the shade of trees, and the rustle of a gentle breeze. Epitomizing the aesthetic language of the outdoor family, the sunbed is composed of precise tubular lines and visible straps, with an integrated functional surface that completes the relaxing experience. The lightness of the thin mattress, featuring a subtle and harmonious geometric pattern, gives Argentario a refined character that is the hallmark of outstanding furniture design. The movable surface is similar to that of the outdoor sofa, emphasizing the concept of functionality at the service of pleasure.

Polygonal shapes and irregular circles are generated by contrasting elements, in abstract graphic compositions at once dynamic and elegant. Composed of closely set lines in solid wood, the tabletop showcases solar forms and cutouts in surfaces with two different finishes: one in Corten stainless steel, the other in enamel. The particular features of these materials create the expressive lexicon for Talamone. A personal, idealized interpretation of the Mediterranean ambiance comes into contact with lilting oriental nuances, resulting in a layering of chromatic signs and accents, all signatures of the multicultural language of our time. The composed and irregular surface contours exemplify a level of modern craftsmanship that embodies the primordial art of composition.

Space age design meets an obsession with material construction, welcome to Jupiter. Over the years we have developed many designs, but none that fulfils what Jupiter does when it comes to evoking material design in new environments. From its metal arch to fiberglass shell, feather blocks to soft leather; this is really capturing new age, space age even, design. Each component is designed to work as one, designed to look different, designed to be different. Jupiter is a commitment to craftsmanship, a tale of the handmade that is intrinsically of this world.

When tasked with further developing a popular hit, designer Mauro Lipparini accepted this as a challenge. Jupiter was already a vision about space age ideas, so how did Mauro go about this? Gone, the fiberglass and replaced with polyurethane. The shell, now available covered with exclusive Pelle Leonardo, in all of its colours and the structure, accentuated with different colourings. The result is a lighter, flexible option for those looking for the Jupiter range with a different quality from the original. A timeless style that's designed to suit a new way of living.

To describe Final Cut as just a table does a disservice to the vision and applied engineering that went into the construction of what is one of the most beautiful and geometric designs that we have made at Arketipo. In what is a compact style, we have insisted on bringing versatility that is uniquely our own. A multi-level surface, the upper is a thin smoked glass layer that is connected with a rotating cylinder and pierces through a lower, thick marble top. A complex and sophisticated geometric design reflecting true dynamic living, making this vision more about today's modern take of living.

With a lighthearted name that evokes, from one perspective, a video game console and, from another, an aircraft pilot’s control column, the Joystick tables are works of both playful, even mischievous spirit and absolute precision. The impressive density of the metal plate is the compelling theme of Joystick, which delivers a powerful impression with its direct, emphatic design: two discs inalterably joined by a curved vertical plane. The eye-catching shapes are a realization of pure material in an archetypal minimalist conception. The sculptural object, concrete and rich in its profiling, finds in its polished, graceful thickness a cultivated style that resonates with the candor of its pure gray metal surfaces. The ideal occasional table to complement a wide range of sofas, armchairs, and beds, Joystick will find a place in almost any room in the home. Available in different lacquered colors, it calls to mind the spirit of post-industrial recovery, creating an artistic synthesis between arte povera and an exacting aesthetic built on first principles that gracefully unites form, material, and function.

With its mixture of shapes and styles, the small table selection with Lith is designed to bring together soft and rigid components, to convey a harmonious and cosmopolitan style that fits with the Arketipo ethos in structuralism and form. Round, square or rectangular, together with the new console, their shape unifies an ethos that it is the combination of materials and their specific marriage to one another, creating expressive emotions designed to stir elements, if not the whole environment. With tops that playfully combine either marble, sandstone or glass, Lith is only further complimented by the strong and isometric metal base that brings depth and strength to the overall design.

Part sci-fi, part engineering brilliance, what Noth appears to lack in a traditional format of solid structure is actually a visual illusion that plays with the senses and stirs the emotions. Strong, geometric shapes sit on top and alongside one another with a simplicity and ease, providing open spaces around the sides to showcase elements of your life, and who you are without disrupting its overall look and finish. Whether it is in the centre of the room or next to the sofa, function and style perfectly complement what North is: a small table that doesn't compromise in either area. There's no denying that North is fit for any room: contemporary, traditional or one that looks to the future.

This is Rebus.

A record-shattering collection of songs, a convention-defying set of furniture pieces—they share an intrigue-rich name and an inspiring commitment to individual expression. Material is the clear protagonist of the Rumours occasional tables, which sees marble employed for the tops. This remarkable stone—at once exuberant, precious, eclectic, and engagingly theatrical—requires the greatest discretion in terms of design. With each piece, three metal blades undergird the top and intersect it with clean, precise cuts that interrupt the variegated marble veining of the curvaceous surface, yielding captivating contrasts between lines and areas, explicit and implied, that are organic and natural and those that are rational and geometric. Rumours draws upon these artfully conceived contrasts to present itself as simultaneously a sophisticated piece of furniture and a dazzling gem of rapturous scale. Here is that “crystal vision” Stevie Nicks sang of in Fleetwood Mac’s timeless “Dreams.” The interplay of the subtle graphic lines in the surfaces and the bold, robust slabs works to create an altogether new and unexpected lexicon of refined design for these one-of-a-kind pieces.

Technology and art fuse seamlessly to produce Avalon’s striking design. Mighty slabs of iron are contoured by means of segmented plane geometry, with concave and convex curvilinear forms and a sequence of boldly dovetailed gestures that define the table’s base. This is a premier example of a minimalist structure reinforced by the power of its materials—the authenticity of the body’s natural iron and the primeval expressivity of the annealed glass top. Avalon’s austere formalism is contrasted with the dynamism of the base, while the glass disc surface, evoking a mirrored, softly rippling pool, transports us to an extraterrestrial dreamscape. Roxy Music’s last and greatest album, Avalon, is a touchstone of the 1980s. Even as its namesake table expresses a signature ’80s brand of boldness, it speaks as well to more ancient folklore and myth—the legendary island of Avalon, where King Arthur’s fabled sword, Excalibur, was forged—in particular through the tabletop’s Pacific blue finish. Below Avalon’s otherworldly disc of annealed glass, the powerful metal base winds like a welling tide with elegance and élan.

Standing out thanks to a singular central pillar, Icon, a design by Mauro Lipparini is a dining table arrangement that plays with graceful and elegant forms showcasing that simplicity is anything but easy when it comes to design and material selection. Icon plays not only with the simple nature of dining table design, but the emotional one as well. It's a way to render homage to materials, like the "Moon grey" marble top that contrasts with smooth, plain metal of the pyramid pedestal that when combined bring expression to balance and a unique identity in furniture design. Icon isn't trying to hide, it's trying to show what the subtle can be, when given some love and attention.

The latest design from Mauro Lipparini, Bolide is anything but sober, this is a statement piece; one for those that are concerned about form, details and ultimately, interior identity. This is a sculptural expression of design, one that takes angles and positions them in a unique set up that is only ever enhanced by our insight into material manipulation and focused approach to details. Think of Bolide as a fluid structure that found its shape through a combination of planned design and natural guidance, Mauro talks of "a wavy ribbon" and you'd be hard pressed to not see that form, but there is more to this. Compartments are broken up with a distinctive curvature, the doors form the design whilst the swooping angles add a sense of linear diversity. Naturally, it is highlighted by the use of materials, finished in either sucupira or moka, whilst the top - made from machined lacquer - provides contrast in both texture and implementation. This is a statement about who we are, a modern identity to being creatures of interior living. Bolide, it's not for the faint hearted but then again, why would you want it to be?

The Effetto notte nightstands are inspired by the “day for night” cinematic technique used to simulate the suffused glow of nocturnal environments in brighter circumstances. Thanks to the dialogue between volumetric corporeality and structural lightness, the nightstands have the dexterity to give shape to changing spaces. Sober and refined, they find a natural place as precious objects: unique and elegant treasure chests, they become the discreet protagonists of the sleeping area. The curved metal outline of the legs make the container appear floating, aerial, while still maintaining a sense of solidity; in perfect aesthetic balance, the absence of sharp edges conveys the nightstand’s impressive ergonomic function. The top in thin marble adds an extra touch of classical modernism, contrasting nicely with the other materials of wood and metal, showcasing the evolution of style toward the finest in contemporary design.

Throughout history, in mythology, pop culture and references to literature, the name Electra conveys a sense of mystery and something to beholden; it's precisely the kind of name that befits an Arketipo design. Formal simplicity is coupled with a luscious use of different materials; hard woods and glass striking at different design and technical elements the only way an Arketipo product can. From the metal base which becomes a handle to the mix of elements in the structure, Electra is contemporary design which seeks solutions in modern day living.
