Vibieffe was born in Lissone in Brianza in 1968 for the creation of high quality upholstered furniture, sofas and beds with a tailored approach, where each process is characterized by a solid tradition and craftsmanship. The iconic product par excellence of the company is the sofa that converts into a bed, available in all possible aesthetic variations, such as the most famous, the Squadroletto, where it is possible to obtain complete customization through the choice of armrests, sizes and fabrics. The same goes for the more recent models such as Happy, Tangram, Bel Air, Gulp, Prince.
All models are made with a composite and multilayer wood structure, and designed with the utmost attention to style, refinement, quality and attention to detail typical of Made in Italy interior design. All sofas can be covered by choosing from an infinite range of types of fabrics and leathers, particularly refined, in all the main colors: leather, leather, cotton, linen, wool, velvet, made with tailoring and craftsmanship. The padding and seat cushions are in polyurethane foam covered with a thermal layer. The back cushions are in washed and sterilized down mixed with siliconized polyester fiber.
The opening and closing mechanisms of Vibieffe sofa beds use different types of solutions, highly safe and reliable, they are designed and tested to last over time and are the result of years of research and innovation, development and use of advanced technologies ; the mechanisms differ according to the technology used: with elastic belts, with electro-welded mesh or with wooden slats for the ecowood version according to the different models. The bed can be equipped with a spring mattress, or in polyurethane foam, with a Memory foam, Waterlily or latex mattress. The cushions are in polyurethane foam and washed and sterilized down mixed with siliconized polyester fibers. Vibieffe mattresses are of high quality, certified and covered with antibacterial, anti-mite and antifungal fabrics, which ensure hygiene, elasticity, ergonomics and breathability. This attention to mechanisms and mattresses has made the world leader in the sector not easy for the convertible sofa.
Another important section of the Vibieffe catalog is represented by the padded beds, traditional or more contemporary, which can be personalized and made unique by choosing from an infinite range of fabric or leather coverings, also with tailoring and handcrafted finishes of the highest quality, which often resume ancient Italian traditions. The covers are removable and washable. The supporting structure of all the beds is made of steel, while the orthopedic bed bases are made of evaporated beech slats. In some models, on request, a basic structure with a box underneath can be opened, which can be opened with a tilting lift or with a horizontal lift. All mechanisms are made with materials that comply with environmental protection regulations, non-toxic and non-harmful. The mattresses are certified and available in Aqupur and Memory Form cans, in natural latex foam, with springs or with pocket springs, covered with antibacterial, anti-mite and antifungal fabrics to ensure hygiene, ergonomics, elasticity and breathability. Many models have the exclusive Up & Down system on request, or an adjustable mechanism that allows you to place the mattress at the height you are used to. Among the most famous models: Bel air, Soap, Open, Tangram.

m6 -Ferrero1947

M6

M6 is a project by Luca Montrucchio for Ferrero1947, which is born from the reflection on the behavior of the different materials and those who work in front of a fixed and predefined scheme.

The fulcrum of the project is a square, lightweight, tapered structure made of 6 mm diameter, black painted iron rod and completed by a horizontal cover with 2 vertical limbs to turn it into a seat or stand.

In a second phase, were selected six different materials : wool, glass, perforated sheet, leather, linen and wood rope, and the finished structure was assigned, with attachment the cover scheme, to 6 artisans, experts in their field, who interpreted the precise design of the designer, also technically solving the fundamental knots for the manufacture of the product.

The selection was rigorous:

for wool: the Dutch weavers of Thomas Eyck, who are experts in Irish wool work

for glass: Cristal King’s glassware in Turin

for the perforated sheet: the blacksmith of Roero Gatto

for the leather: the pellet and the Pinerolese saddle Calautti

for the flax rope: the ancient Massia hammer manufacture

for wood: Tesio, the historic Piedmont carpenter collaborator of Carlo Mollino

The result is a hybrid object, a table of chairs or seats, in all the different types, to be used individually or assembled with infinite combinations.

To complete the M6 ​​collection there is a bench, obtained from the repetition of the module, with seat in monochrome patch fabrics, and a wall structure, with the same proportions and lines, with inserts in perforated black sheet metal.

M6 is available from November in the FERRERO1947 gallery in Turin, in corso Matteotti 15 or online by mail.

Frank collection - Ferrero1947 - Luca Montrucchio

Frank

Collection 2016

Ferrero1947 presents a new project in the exhibition “When the mirror makes you beautiful”, based on the type of the console and its interpretations completed by a mirror from the same rigor. Essential graphic lines and alternation of different materials, characterize the ‘Frank’ project, where the young designer Luca Montrucchio worked with typical refined influences of the Jean Michel Frank’s style in a contemporary reinterpretation. Frank is also a tribute to Franco Curletto, who hosts the event and who made beauty his philosophy of life. A collection of small table mirrors, private vanity, complete the project, translating into a smaller scale the lines and the rigor of the primitive idea. The project is made entirely by hand, with the intervention of local artisans: each element is the result of a careful manual labor. Ferrero1947, with an experience of almost 70 years in the selection, distribution and sale of contemporary furniture, from 2105 decided to enter the world of production, producing a collection that embodies the ideology and style acquired over many years of activity.

Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists Alvar Aalto and his wife Aino, with Maire Gullichsen, daughter of an important Finnish wood magnate and her husband Nils-Gustav Haha, a rich businessman and cultured collector; his name founds the 2 essential elements together according to its founders: art and technology.
The company’s business strategy is very clear from the start: “selling furniture and promoting a culture of modern life with the help of exhibitions and other educational means.” The founders hope for a new type of environment for the life of all days, firmly believing in a great synthesis of the arts and wanting to make a difference in architecture and design, as well as in urban planning.
Thanks to this sophisticated company, Alvar Aalto was able to avoid the inflation and the massification of his projects, which he considered precious as lithographs: his works had to be not too numerous, to contain the effects, and not too limited, not to enhance them in a sense too artistic. All Aalto’s works were carried out by Artek, often following actual needs, or the fact of having to furnish his architectural projects, as in the case of the Paimio armchair, created for the Sanatorium of the same name or the Viipuri stool for the library of the same name. For his projects, Aalto always starts from the construction techniques of snow skis, a product widely used in Finland, coming to exploit in addition to the folding of wood with steam, a technique already used by Thonet, also the natural humidity of Finnish birch wood .
Particularly famous are its stools, which have undergone a significant variation with the passage of time: in the 1940s the model consisted of 4 legs and a seat opposite them, joined with screws, in the 1950s instead the supports in plywood were designed to open up like a fan to form the top of the seat (or table), as happens in nature for some organic and vegetable conformations, without the aid of screws.
Alvar Aalto’s wife, Aino Marsio Aalto, has been the company’s artistic director for many years, designing herself some very elegant objects such as glasses, vases and small accessories, but also graphic fabrics and absolute colors black and white.
Today Artek is renowned for being one of the most innovative and avant-garde for modern design, with the creation of new paths between design, architecture and art. The collection includes furniture, lighting and accessories from the Nordic masters Alvar Aalto, Ilmari Tapiovaara, Tapio Wirkkala, Eero Aarnio and Yrjö Kukkapuro, but also contemporary collections such as the projects of the Bouroullec brothers.

Artek was founded in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen, and Nils-Gustav Hahl. The business strategy of the company was “to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of living by exhibitions and other educational means. The founders  advocated a new kind of environment for everyday life. They believed in a grand synthesis of the arts and wanted to make a difference in architecture and design as well as in town planning.

Today Artek is renowned as being one of the most innovative contributors to modern design, creating new paths at the intersection of design, architecture and art. The Artek collection comprises furniture, lighting and accessories by the Nordic masters Alvar Aalto, Ilmari Tapiovaara, Tapio Wirkkala, Eero Aarnio and Yrj Kukkapuro. Artek also works with leading international architects, designers and artists, such as Shigeru Ban, Konstantin Grcic, Hella Jongerius, Harri Koskinen, Enzo Mari and Tobias Rehberger.

Artek’s collection is based on the original idea of standards and systems, initiated by Alvar Aalto’s bent wood experiments that resulted in the L-leg system. The L-leg, a solid wood leg with a laminated part bent at 90°, was patented in 1933 and quickly became a standard component of Aalto’s furniture designs. The standard and system thinking makes the furniture range versatile and allows it to be customised for individual projects. It’s furniture can be found in various types of spaces: public areas, private homes, museums, schools, restaurants, hotels and offices.

Artek’s headquarter is in Helsinki, Finland, where Artek also has a flagship store in middle of the town. International offices are located in New York, Tokyo, Stockholm and Berlin, where the international marketing team is based.
