Concept
The entire structure of the sofa and chair Lui 6 develops the hexagonal shape and the drawing don't start from the contours or the outer perimeter, but from the particular: It is in fact the hexagon that, multiplying exponentially, gives life to the profile. This process is repeated in manufacturing: the wooden border was in fact created to follow perfectly the figure. The rigid forms of the hexagons are then softened by the quilt melange wool presented in light/dark gray and eggplant version, which enriches of curved lines the furniture and gives depth. The stools are in natural wood, in polished mahogany or maple bleached finish.Recover the hexagonal shape with a game of pitch and joining and wooden massellature of six-sides section create a honeycomb system that gives life to this piece individually or in the system. To complete the Lui 6 family presents an impressive modular bookcase, which is reproposed on catalogue in different versions. The library Lui6, with myrtle burl veneer, reflects the style and the drawings of the boiserie and reminiscents a beehive composed by double-sided boxes, open on one side and closed on the other one, making it versatile and multifunctional as well as being a container, it becomes a witty partition wall.
