MOBLES 114

Founded in Barcelona in 1973 and a National Design Award (2001), MOBLES 114 stays true to the strong universal spirit infused more than 40 years ago by its creators, the industrial designers JM Massana and JM Tremoleda. Ranges include furniture, complements and accessories for home, office and public and urban spaces; all of them conceived with the aim of improving the quality of life by imbuing it with innovation, service, functionality, economy and beauty.

New products on display in Cologne include the latest creation by renowned Spanish designer Eugeni Quitllet, Martín Azúa and Lagranja.

Recently launched at the autumn edition of Maison & Objet and design by Eugeni Quitllet, the TUBE chair features a soft design that reaffirms its industrial origin with lines that inspire movements, humanization and even a hint of humour. It seems as if has been created freehand in the air – a linear steel tube culminating into a polypropylene seat.

Apt to colonize both public and private spaces, the free-spirit, stackable TUBE chairs, which comes in two versions – with or without arms-, can be combined with its own colours and is accompanied by a café table.

At the fair, the brand will also unveil RAMBLA, a new metallic rib chair by Martí Azúa conceptually inspired by the chairs that fill one of the most emblematic and lively streets of Barcelona: La Rambla. Light and stackable with armrests, it reinterprets the tradition and evokes the Mediterranean lifestyle with people who love to gather around a table in an open-air terraza and chat away with friends. The chair collection is complemented by the square-shaped RAMBLA table which is ideal for decks, porches and gardens.

Another creation of Martín Azúa on exhibition is the LUCO stool, an item that combines cleverly three essential features: the traditional craft of woodturning, cutting-edge technology and the most genuine international design. Its deliberately simple shape and quality and the authenticity of its materials – beech wood and steel – made of it the perfect choice for dining areas at home as well as in public spaces.

As a new proposal signed by young Lagranja Design Studio, MOBLES 114 launches FORC, a wooden coat stand that is stable, durable and suitable for home as well as for offices, restaurants and bars.

Thanks to its multifunctional design, FORC can be used by children and for hanging bags, umbrellas and hats.

SYSTEMTRONIC

After 23 years developing successfully the CLASSIC collection, which offers a complete range of auxiliary office furniture and fittings, SYSTEMTRONIC launched ADVANCED, a new collection, fruit of years of experience, reflection, hard work and collaborations with prestigious professionals. Sober, elegant and timeless, Advanced has been designed to integrate projects where the architect or interior designer wishes neutral components with a strong personality.

In Cologne, visitors will have a first-hand look at some of the latest successful models, such as the SOU umbrella stand by Tomoya Tabuchi; the original KOKU wall shelves by Hugo Tejada; the CONEE family, a creation by Victor Carrasco that includes conic items, such as plant pots, umbrella stands, paper bins and the upholstered poufs with casters; or the GREEN CLOUD, a series of plant pots designed by Mermelada Studio that evoke lamps emitting vegetation.

As a part of the ADVANCED 2016 Catalogue, SYSTEMTRONIC will launch in Cologne a number of new items suitable for both home office and contract use.

The HOLD family has been extended with the addition of HOLD DAILY, a set of office storage units for working spaces with more capacity. HOLD DAILY is made of a painted folded steel sheet and is available in two versions: HOLD DAILY DR with door and locker; and HOLD DAILY BX with box. It is offered in a range of 5 different colours: Gray Beige, Mustard, Texture Forge Grey, Texture Black, Texture White.

ELICA by Fernando Gil has two new family members: the Elica Umbrella with double function as coat and umbrella stand; and the Elica Mini, a light, portable coat rack for personal use. So, wherever you are, in a restaurant, a library or at work, you can have your things beside you.

Designed by STC Studio, STORE is a personal storage unit with castors, specifically designed to optimize workspaces thanks to its functionality and mobility. It can hold any kind of personal object and it includes a handle to facilitate the movements, a magazine rack and a drink holder. Both elements can be hanged on one side or another depending on the needs of users. Perfect to complement the FOORK tables by Victor Carrasco.

LAURA is SYSTEMTRONIC’s most versatile and playful table. Designed by young Mermelada Studio, this little round table hosts a storage place or a planter in the base.

Its uses are endless: in a chill out, in a waiting room, in a lounge, in a porch… Always adding a touch of fun and flair!
