Each Designer Is A World
Very Wood is a design archipelago that embraces different ideas and philosophies: each designer is a world, an island, which while maintaining its own identity dialogues with the others at the same time, developing Made in Italy collections which express the concept of hospitality and sociability.
Wood is the element that unites every Very Wood collection, a natural thread that breathes life into every formal design, a traditional material, that can be reinterpreted with a contemporary twist in multiple versions. The Very Wood collections are characterized by impeccable aesthetics that fully merge with functionality, in a heterogeneous proposal that can satisfy every design requirement.
At the Salone del Mobile 2023, Very Wood offers two highly successful seats, characterized by an essential and poetic design. The Weekend Series, by Chinese designers Neri&Hu, consists of two seating solutions, Saturday and Sunday, that guarantee great functionality and comfort at the same time, in a formal balance that emphasizes and honors the company’s central ethos, the tailoring and manufacturing know-how that characterizes all its workmanship.
Saturday and Sunday are inspired by the everyday and the worldly. The ash frame unites the two chairs, which both come in bare wood and padded versions. The seats are characterized by distinct elements in a hierarchical relationship: concave backrest that takes advantage of the flexibility of the curved wood to create a comfortable support without added structures; the seat cushion adds comfort by giving a touch of unique identity through various textile options; the base in carved solid wood connects all the elements and harmonizes them together.
In an interplay of assonance and dissonance, Saturday is characterized by a backrest with an oblique and shallower cut, while Sunday has a wide, enveloping backrest, which embraces the seat, creating a piece of furniture with an immersive and enveloping atmosphere that allows full relaxation.
The Weekend Series offers a dining and lounge solution with essential lines, a pure but enthralling Zen hideaway dressed in a dominant of colors stolen from nature in a contemporary twist that dialogues perfectly with the company’s heritage.
On the occasion of the seventeenth edition of the “Interior Design’s Best of Year Awards”, a selection of the most innovative and outstanding projects and products from around the world chosen by a brilliant panel of judges for the American magazine Interior Design, The Weekend Series was awarded in the Contract Guest Seating category, testifying to the success of a collection that encompasses timeless aesthetics, pure materials, and formal choices that respect context, tradition and functionality.
