Concept
A clear language of forms, finely finished details, innovative materials and modern colours: mell is a collection of expressive charismatic solo pieces with a strong character that nevertheless do not dominate. mell individually develops its charm and emotionality in every living space and architectural environment, and embodies urbane modernity with its innovative designs.
In mell, interlübke has combined its unique and inimitable lacquered surfaces with the finest materials from the natural and technological worlds. High-quality woods and genuine bend leather contribute from the natural world; concrete, rendered expressive through its processing and specialised manufacture, works as visualcontrast material and establishes architectural context. Irregular slate structures strongly juxtapose the precise right-angles of the lacquered body.
With its unobtrusive use of materials, the mell collection includes individually usable sideboards, an elegant and stylish escritoire, floating wall elements for vertical or horizontal room structures and bed models designed to match that are wrapped in high-quality fabrics and leather coverings.
