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.

Pastoe was born in Holland in 1913 in Utrecht for the creation of furnishings, in particular armchairs and sofas, but since 1948 it has focused on wooden containers in a modern and functional key. The sobriety and the technical and aesthetic refinement have always been the main guidelines in all the collections that have alternated, up to the most recent and beloved Vision series: container containers, modular in a huge amount of sizes, possibilities and colors, with the particularity of the pressure opening and the thicknesses at 45 degrees. The result, extremely refined and elegant, is much loved by architects, design lovers and designers for the purity of its aesthetics.

The Pastoe collection is therefore the result of many years of experience in the development and production of the highest quality furniture. Every day we invest again in quality, in the continuous search for further refinement of the technique and greater functionality, without stopping, until we reach the desired result.

When visual and material sustainability is increased, even the smallest details become important; the visibility of a screw or the shape of a hinge are therefore treated with extreme care and attention. The pursuit of perfection is, and will always remain, inherent in the company’s culture. Pastoe furniture is still made in the historic Utrecht factory, taking care to maintain traditional and artisan quality. In order to obtain the best result, production is still largely manual. Thanks to this attention and preparation, an impeccable piece of furniture of great value is born.

Pastoe has always remained faithful to the modular principle. Current furniture systems lend themselves to making sideboards, TV furniture, containers … and they can be defined as figurative works of art. The furniture is not only part of the wall, but also the wall becomes part of the furniture thanks to the play of shadows. Pastoe furniture leaves room for additions according to your taste and thanks to their shape they can be easily combined with other styles and brands.

The connection with art is always very close: in the development of its furniture, the company involves the ability of architects and artists and their sense of form, the keen eye for detail and the play between light and space. It starts with shapes, volumes and colors, elaborating them, to translate everything into furniture. This leads to furniture that is both functional and artistic: a piece of furniture as an object. In addition to the collaboration with architects and artists, the product development section, always at the forefront, translates the signals coming from the market into furniture in line with Pastoe’s design vision.
