When fashion, style and culture collided in the mid 20th Century, London was the centre of the world and SoHo was its capital. The swinging 60s heralded a new way of thinking and a new way of living. Design was and never would be the same and it’s why our bedside table deserved a name to befit the ideas of its time. Gino Carollo has created something which represents that swinging sixties vibe with a nod to our modern day culture. Wood and glass represent today’s interpretation of high quality materials used in the most precise form whilst its geometric shape is a reminder of that transformative period in global culture. Liberated by its fluid form, SoHo is a geometric construction of three different elements perfectly overlapping to give a strong and expressive shape without losing any of its delicate touch. Old meets new, which is never a bad thing.

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.

Set aside the name and everything that it conjures, and you are left with a chair that is the design brief few would ever accept, but yearn to attempt. Belair thus, is the design lovers' dream, one who wants to experiment with contrasts and materials, one who feels that more can be done with raw design and one who feels that the art of relaxation can only be achieved if the environment is constructed to be as such. Belair then is a dialogue, one of oxymoron and sober simplicity. One where the metal frame cradles intelligently crafted cushions, hand stitched and cared for; one where the construction appears like the chair is floating and one which invites you to take a moment and appreciate its beauty before appreciating how you are at ease with its presence. Trying is then, believing.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

If design was a fixed concept, then Nelson may never have been made for it would have been the conformist who'd have said, "tables should never have spaces in the top!" That which renders Nelson unique is that which renders all design unique: freedom to try new things. In this case, all elements of the structure are joined together with an intrinsic yet swooping metal structure whilst the tops, made of wood and leather combine to give dramatic and irregular geometric forms. Again, Arketipo doesn't offer the ordinary but wants to play within the lines of what is possible and understands what the traditions offer; vegetable tanned leather, a traditional Tuscan material, is used in the Nelson design, providing different colours and shades.

"They're Oompa-Loompas...Imported direct from Loompa land." Willy Wonka - WILLY WONKA & THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY -Thanks to a unique mottled glass design and play on childhood storytelling, Oompa Loompa is more than an ode to the characters from Willy Wonka, it's about turning light and the spaces around it into theatre. A dramatic escape from the norm, a play on what is achievable when imagination is set loose and allowed to tap into childhood fantasy. From the suspended collection (available in three sizes) to the floor lamp, Oompa Loompa defines its style with bold glass colours (bronze and aquamarine blue) and radial positioning allowing it to play on light and leaving one's own imagination to take flight.

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.

Whilst at first capturing your attention with its circular metallic frame, taking a second look will highlight that there is more to Ula than clever design; after all, we're talking about an Arketipo product. Ours is a philosophy, one designed to capture an experience of totality in one living space. From the smoked glass effect to the varying heights, design remains uniform whilst material finish is considered for aesthetic and tactile reasons. Smoked glass permeates the design bringing transparency to the overall area whilst the choice of structure finish brings elegance to an already visually stunning display.

Duality is a design privilege; it means that whoever conceived it thought about a purpose or style that had to fit more than one vision. Goldie is an exemplar of this thought process. A contemporary design that meets classic lines, but there's more. Duality is also achieved in colour and or material choices. Nothing has been left to chance with Goldie, everything is designed for a reason.

One look at Miss Malice and you are reminded of a classical, somewhat vintage design. It would be fair to say you could see this in the 1960s or 70s, somewhere on Madison Avenue, in an advertising executive office or a homeowner who understood the art of neoclassical interior design. Its thick rounded and padded seat exhibit comfort whilst its thin metal legs showcase refinement in modern design.

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.

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?

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.

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.

What Endor is designed to bring to any living environment is versatility; versatility through style, versatility through function; combined, our designers have sought to bring the role of the sideboard to what it was always designed to be, a piece that proudly displays your life, as well as keeping your memories locked within it. With doors covered with leather Leonardo and open shelves, this arrangement wants you to both exhibit and be private. It plays with independent and precise graphic design, making you visualise it in multi-scenarios around the home. The mixture of wood with metal is another Arketipo twist in this unique styling. To add to this design though is the Endor Shelf system. A series of purposely designed wooden shelves with metal ends that create a personalised way to furnish design. Modern and minimal, it allows maximum versatility in your room design and couples with other accessories such as the sideboard of the same line.

Bringing the styling of a classical time to a modern environment can be hard, but Glory takes what is an essential design purpose and brings with it an iconic look, maximising the expertise and knowledge of material selection unique to Arketipo. A slim line and the accentuated vertical handles create separation on one side, whilst handle less drawers on the other create uniform symmetry with the thin veneer top. Doors and drawers are then maximised with their cover leather choice that brings out bold and unique colours. Glory is finished with a feature of slim legs that make the sideboard appear ethereal in nature, a unique twist to what is a solid and refined structure.

Writing, like any other skill, is one of perfected practice. Inkiostro as such, is a writing desk that understands and appreciates the craft whilst perfecting Arketipo' s own ideologies on design. Open shelves and draw spaces, modern geometric design, high end materials and a leather pad make this not only a space for writers, but a space that aspires to see their visions come to life.

Take a thoroughly Italian concept, Slow Food and apply it to life, Slow Living. What you get is a different way of taking time in your day to day to feed your soul, your ambitions and what matters most; your family. Malta then is another concept that taps into the Italian way of living. Developing on the classic Anglo-Saxon designs, Malta incorporates the concept of slow living with comfort as a premium; large welcoming cushions, soft lines and sober colours that add to the texture and flair of any room. Classic, retro styled feet are designed in line with these shapes finishing a sofa that fulfils the quest for soul cleansing as well as just a place to rest.

"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.

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.

Design is no different to your favourite artist, musician or even dish; there are times when one thing will do for all occasions; this is the idea behind Windsor, a couch that sets a bar in any living quarter. Chateau's to metropolitan life, our needs in either remain at the core, the very same, so why must furniture be distinguished as a one space design? Why can't design encapsulate a vision of living rather than living capture one idea? Made by hand there is no hiding the details and attention to material and design in this unique collection. We are capturing life, a way of living to be precise with Windsor because its style isn't a compromise on your room, it accentuates it, no matter where you live.

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.
