Antes Design 2018 Collection: home jewels


“Like a miniature architecture, the furniture and complements of the new collection reveal their subtle structure in brass. The surfaces and volumes are supported with a light gesture to let all their expressive power communicate the material research, the artisanal skill, the excellence of sartorial details, and that quiet Oriental elegance that so deeply inspired me”. #antonellatesei

The new collection by #antesdesign, a young Milanese brand founded by #antonellatesei, proposes a yet unseen aesthetical solution generated by the encounter between Italian culture and artisanal skill and suggestions from far-away worlds that are here reinterpreted with an at once pondered and poetic touch.

The original, elegant and precious appearance of every piece is the result of an in-depth study of possible relationships between colour, wood, and metallic materials in a demanding formal research that explores all their potential. The vertical elements in laserperforated sheets with minimal sections and traits characterised by the warm hues of the light satin-finish brass, are the key features that are then matched with warm surfaces in striped wood and tops in marble and mirror. Refined and powerful at the same time, the significance of each piece goes far beyond its spectacular aesthetic impact. A more careful look, through a hypothetical magnifying glass, reveals the magic and originality of the details and offers the viewer a whirlwind of sensations that touches him deeply like only a “furniture-gem” can do.

The mood of the collection comes from different fields: Nature (the perforated sheet in the shape of a stylized flower that attenuates the broken line of the piece), a quiet Oriental elegance (grafted legs and the handles), references to recurring elements in the furniture of the past (the little net that embraces and defines the surfaces).
