Sofas, armchairs, bookcases and tables, like characters in a story, shape the domestic environment with sculptural forms and pure geometries, focusing on structural lightness.

Inspired by Enzo Mari’s “Autoprogettazione?” manual from 1974, the Boomerang desk for Gebrüder Thonet Vienna revisits the self-design philosophy. This archival piece marries simplicity with evocative design, featuring a structure based on a curved layered-beechwood plank, reminiscent of boomerang-shaped beams in architecture. It stands on four slender yet sturdy beechwood legs. Topped with extra-clear glass that follows the base’s curve, it creates a graceful visual effect. This design reflects Mari’s commitment to pure forms and functional clarity, where every element is easily interpretable in terms of its function. Celebrating creativity and craftsmanship, the Boomerang desk blends innovation and practicality, embodying Mari’s rational construction approach.

With Joan, Massaud draws inspiration from fashion for clean lines, balanced proportions, and great attention to the quality of coverings and details, like stitching. An archetypal sofa collection that highlights cushioning and comprises varied elements, including angled ones, to create broader or more compact customized configurations.
