LEGACY Three-Seater Sofa | By Mario Ruiz | POINT

Mario Ruiz and Point invite you to experience outdoor luxury tailored to your individual style. Drawing inspiration from artisanal techniques, the new LEGACY Collection embodies over a century of refined expertise and the vibrant tapestry of Mediterranean culture. With a commitment to the Mediterranean philosophy and Ruiz’s design language – essential, precise, and poetic – LEGACY sculpts iconic silhouettes tailored to a diverse array of pieces, from sofas and tables to armchairs.

The collection serves a dual purpose, offering multiple solutions for interior designers and architects in both outdoor and indoor settings. Meticulously designed, it effortlessly creates sophisticated environments with its two lines: LEGACY ESSENCE and LEGACY WOVEN. Rooted in sustainability, Legacy is designed to endure, presenting an essential form that constructs a new, silent universe where materials take centre stage. Each piece features a die-cast aluminium structure incorporating various materials in the backs and armrests, resulting in two distinct versions, each possessing its own personality.

LEGACY ESSENCE exudes a minimalist style characterized by simplicity, lightness, and an exposed aluminium frame. LEGACY WOVEN showcases an aluminium structure framing a carefully designed rope weave – a technique dating back to the 1920s, pioneered by the founder, José Pedro Pons. Both versions offer customization options for armrests and seat fronts. The collection also includes tables in various finishes: porcelain, HPL, or aluminium.

MILOS Collection | By Jean-Marie Massaud | VONDOM

The MILOS Collection is another celebration of the Mediterranean lifestyle, seamlessly blending natural inspiration, art, and functionality. The modular sofa and armchairs, an elegant fusion of wood and polyurethane, transcend conventional seating, offering an immersive experience in unparalleled comfort and tranquillity.

Drawing inspiration from seaside rocks, these pieces infuse the essence of the Mediterranean into any space. The sun lounger and daybed combine functionality and beauty, featuring a precision-manufactured lacquered aluminium structure for exceptional outdoor resistance, with Iroko wood legs providing elegance and warmth, forming a stable connection to nature.

Massaud’s ingenuity in uniting diverse materials is evident in the low tables, where light cement meets wood, evoking a rustic yet refined ambience reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast. Complemented by rotomoulded planters with a stucco finish, these tables transform into embodiments of natural beauty, transcending their role as mere furniture. The MILOS Collection stands out for its remarkable versatility, effortlessly blending into chic urban apartments or enhancing the natural beauty of gardens, showcasing its unique ability to harmonize with diverse surroundings.
