Berlage Armchair

Hendrik Petrus Berlage didn’t like curves. In his younger years he tried to avoid curves as much as possible especially in his furniture design.

Quartz Armchair

Quartz is a sofa designed by CRTL ZAK and Davide Barzaghi and is the result of applying a mathematical series to home furnishings.

Its two-dimensional beechwood structure – pentagons and hexagons – develops three-dimensionally in space thanks to the volumising effect of the natural fiber upholstery.

Materials: solid evaporated beech wood ext. frame; water based polish, walnut rusted grey finish; natural oil and officinal herb based foam padding; aluminium joints, handmade polished.
