IMM Cologne 2012: Nice to see – Nice to know – Nice to have. The new models from COR in 2012 | CHAPLINS FURNITURE

Favourite furniture for any situation: our lounge sofa BAHIR, chairs and cocktail easy chairs from the SHRIMP family, the upholstered easy chair CORDIA, our new table CONIC, the functional easy chair ROB and a delicate CONSETA easy chair. New side tables, a lounger element and chairs with a higher backrest add to the JALIS programme.


BAHIR – A sofa unlike any other!

BAHIR is perfect for those wishing to read, watch television, surf the web, just relax or enjoy a bit of bliss à deux. Fitted with different cushions, a sloping, all-round backrest and a detachable upholstery mat, the spacious lounge sofa invites people to experience a new sitting culture. Those wishing to share their home happiness can add further easy chairs or a stool. But our designer Jörg Boner from Switzerland has more than this new cosiness in mind. To cover the furniture with its solid wood frame he combines right-angled and diagonally quilted upholstery surfaces – to remarkable effect. This creates cosy hollows and corners, armrests and backrests. The new sofa is available in four sizes. Added to this are an upholstered easy chair and a stool that can also be used as a side table.


CORDIA, an upholstered easy chair in two back heights

The designer duo Jehs+Laub have not re-edited an earlier COR model, but reconceived it. The result is a more than comfortable, swivelling individual easy chair in two back heights. CORDIA draws its comfort from a softly upholstered seat cushions, comfortable armrests and ergonomically reinforced back padding: a reading chair for the 21st century with a slim silhouette. The model with the high backrest is combined with a stool to enable the user to lie back comfortably. All that is missing now is the right standard lamp and a good book.


The family is complete: SHRIMP cocktail easy chair and (stackable) chairs

In 2011 Jehs+Laub not only convinced the design juries with their lounge chair, but also conquered the hearts of our dealers and customers. In 2012, the seating furniture with its sprung wooden shell and upholstered interior is joined by a cocktail armchair whose elegance comes into its own, no matter where it stands. The new chairs also remain faithful to the unusual design principle with its distinctive side indentations. The stackable version comprising a metal frame plus a shaped wooden shell, optionally upholstered, is especially suitable as contract furniture. For cosier furnishings we offer models with an underframe made of wood and upholstered seat and/or back surfaces. Available in different lacquer colours, woods and upholsteries.


CONIC – a round table for every occasion

Last year the Berlin-based designers MurkenHansen placed circular tableaux with different diameters on conical plinth elements – thereby creating occasional tables which go with practically any upholstered furniture. Now they have developed a large table which turns not only gatherings of family and friends, but also conferences and meetings, into a “real round table”. The innovative form is matched by an equally novel material: the table top and central plinth are cast out of Cristalplant – a unique compound which consists to a large extent of natural materials. Models: round or oval, available in all RAL colours.


CONSETA goes graceful

People love a classic – and also look at it with a view to multiplying its merits. In 2012, the open-base version of CONSETA has been joined by a new easy chair: a model with reduced seat depth and graceful armrests on narrow skids; ideal proportions for the arrangement of upholstered furniture in smaller rooms. The sofas, which are also available with narrow skids and armrests, have been adapted to the new dimension as well.


ROB – adjustable and simply comfortable

We might as well admit it: a comfortable upholstered easy chair with infrared remote control, and then also beautiful because its technical face remains hidden, is a “must have” for TV series fans. ROB, designed by Christophe Marchand from Switzerland, provides all this. Together we have instilled the new functional easy chair with all the inner and outer values that go to make a piece of COR furniture: from seating comfort to the continuous antimacassar which conceals the interior mechanics.


JALIS – even more comfort

The orientally inspired upholstered furniture programme JALIS (design Jehs+Laub) has been extended and now also embraces three side tables in different sizes, upholstered chairs with higher backrests and a sofa lounger.

IMM Cologne 2012: Cassina presents its new collections to the German market including a coloured version of the iconic ‘Zig Zag’ chair by Gerrit T. Rietveld | CHAPLINS FURNITURE


Moov sofa system by Piero Lissoni


Sled sofa by Rodolfo Dordoni

Two new sofas enrich the collection: the modular and versatile ‘Moov’ system by Piero Lissoni and the new version of the low and sleek ‘Sled’ sofa by Rodolfo Dordoni, without a rear shelf, which recalls the American interior design of the ’60s.


Wink chaise by Kita Toshiyuki

Amongst these products, after 30 years of history, an exclusive version of the ‘Wink’ chaise-longue is presented for the first time in a special quilted upholstery designed by its author Kita Toshiyuki.


Tabouret Méribel and Tabouret Berger stools by Charlotte Perriand


Zig Zag chair by Gerrit T. Rietveld


Utrecht sofa with a straight back by Gerrit T. Rietveld

New emblematic projects for the Cassina I Maestri Collection emphasise the company’s tradition and ability in wood craftsmanship: the two stools ‘Tabouret Méribel’ and ‘Tabouret Berger’ by Charlotte Perriand, refined interpretations of the typical milking stool that express her great passion for the mountains, and the coloured version of the iconic ‘Zig Zag’ chair by Gerrit T. Rietveld. A new variant of the ‘Utrecht’ sofa with a straight back-rest by the same architect is also presented.

Two 2012 Interior Innovation Awards


Tokyo chaise-longue by Charlotte Perriand

Cassina is honoured to have received two 2012 Interior Innovation Awards: one for the Tokyo chaise-longue, a project designed in 1940 by Charlotte Perriand while she was living in Japan that has never been released before, and one for the special limited edition of the ‘Veliero’ bookcase by Franco Albini in stained black ash-wood (50 pieces), a choice that sits perfectly with the architect’s work given the presence of this essence in many of his projects.


Special Limited Edition Veliero bookcase by Franco Albini

The legendary ‘Veliero’ bookcase designed in 1940, also on show on the Cassina stand, is a visionary project with radical experimental roots. A bold challenge to the notions of balance and statics that has been brought to life and made functional and stable thanks to the complex technological research carried out by Cassina in collaboration with the Albini Foundation, design historians and marine and civil engineering experts.

IMM Cologne 2012: B&B Italia presents the first new designs of 2012 | CHAPLINS FURNITURE

The focus of the presentation is the living area with a series of designs for padded seating systems that represent a constant evolution based on the needs of consumers both in terms of product comfort and design.

The new designs include the Michel seating system, new versions of the Athos table, J.J. and Mart armchairs, an expansion of the Frank, Luis and Ray sofa ranges and a series of complements that enhance living area solutions.

Warm and reassuring settings paired with a striking visual layout, portray the elegant and international lifestyle of B&B Italia.


Michel, design Antonio Citterio

The Michel seating system includes 34 linear and modular elements as well as 5 square and rectangular ottomans. As opposed to its predecessor Frank, this system is characterised by a new slim structure in painted bronzed nickel or black chrome-plated aluminium and the seat cushion offers a different comfort. All the linear and modular variations are available in two different depths (91 and 106 cm). This variety in the product range makes it possible to organise different types and methods of use, from formal to casual.
Michel sofas offer a serene yet definitive response to the desire for comfort and wellbeing, with a frame created from elements in polyurethane foam, Dacron® inserts for armrests and backrests and down with polyurethane for seat cushions.


Frank, design Antonio Citterio

The modular Frank system, presented in 2008, has been expanded with new elements that make it even more versatile. The changes include the addition of a series of smaller elements for the right and left terminal elements, benches with backrests, central benches, chaise lounges and sofas. All elements in the system are available in two depths (91 and 106 cm). The formal structure of the system has undergone no modifications while a new black chrome-plated finish is now available for the feet and profile.


Luis, design Antonio Citterio

With this updated Luis design the modular seat, proposed in numerous versions, offers a solution that unites comfort and formal elegance. Balanced volumes, measured proportions and an extremely soft appearance thanks to down cushions, accompany a wide range of compositional solutions that can adapt to different sized spaces. Two seat depths (90.5 and 106.5 cm), versions with two cushions (78 and 94 cm) and three cushions (78 cm), with two height variations for the backrests and armrests. The system enables limitless pairings and the creation of linear, angular and peninsula sofas. In order to fulfil precise comfort needs, Luis is available in two seat heights, 41 cm for the floor-mounted version and 47 cm for the version with a new painted bronzed nickel or black chrome-plated base.


Ray, design Antonio Citterio

Ray, the seating system successfully unveiled in 2010, has been enhanced with three new elements: a chaise lounge, a terminal element and a bench that offer additional both linear and angular compositional possibilities. A black chrome-plated finish has also been added for the frame.


J.J., design Antonio Citterio

The range of J.J. armchairs has been expanded with a brand new version. The new designs, created both in a conversation version with a low backrest and a lounge version with a high backrest and headrest, are now available with a pad in textured fabric with a diamond-shaped pattern. The polypropylene bands on the frame are available in three new colours, dove grey, black and orange, and are repeated on the armrests.


Mart, design Antonio Citterio

Mart armchairs, introduced in 2003 with innovative technology for thermoforming leather, are now proposed, both for the fabric as well as for the leather version, with a new swivel base with four spokes in smoked stained oak.


Athos, design Paolo Piva

Ten years since it was unveiled and quickly become a best seller in the table category, Athos has been completely redesigned including its supporting structure and top design.
The frames have a metal “V shaped” profile with glossy chrome-plated, black chrome-plated or bronzed nickel finishes. The thick top is softened by rounded edges and created in wood (natural oak, brushed black oak, grey oak and smoky oak) or in satin painted finish. Created in a single width (100 cm), Athos is available in a fixed version in two sizes (200cm and 250 cm) and an extendable version that uses an invisible mechanism to lengthen the top from 255cm to 320cm.

 

Various new complements proposals, designed by Antonio Citterio, to create in combination with the sofas a harmonious and functional environment.


Michel, design Antonio Citterio

In five sizes and top in rough-cut smoky oak, small Michel tables reinterpret the design and finishes of sofa frames.


Frank, design Antonio Citterio

For the Frank and Michel seating systems a brand new series of low rectangular tables and rear sofa consoles are now available, characterised by exterior finishes in rough-cut smoked oak contrasting an interior in glossy lacquered brick red.


Luis, design Antonio Citterio

The Luis system is completed with accessories compatible with elements without armrests. These are available in various sizes with tops in rough-cut smoked oak and frames in black chrome-plated or painted bronzed nickel steel.


J.J., design Antonio Citterio

Created in chrome-plated rods with a black glass top, the J.J. table is a small functional surface with universal possibilities.


Mera, design Antonio Citterio

Versatile and compatible with different models, this new family of small round tables is available in four different sizes and heights. The top in white statuarietto marble with a tapered edge is connected with the circular metal structure available in glossy chrome-plated, black chrome-plated or painted bronzed nickel finishes. A table/pouf version has also been added to this collection with the turned top in smoked stained oak.
