Highlight products & trends 2023. The timeless appeal of Wood (2)

Whether it’s the rich grains of oak, the smooth elegance of walnut, or the rustic allure of reclaimed timber, the trend of using wood in furniture design promises both aesthetic excellence and a connection to nature. Spanish furniture companies have always excelled in their mastery of wood, drawing upon their long-standing experience to create exceptional pieces. With a rich heritage in woodworking, these companies have honed their craftsmanship over generations, perfecting techniques that bring out the inherent beauty of wood.

Wood reimagined: a timeless journey to the future

Wood, with its timeless appeal and eco-friendly qualities, reclaimed its position as a prime material for exhibiting brands. It embodied not only sustainability but also carried profound ancestral connotations, evoking a sense of utopia. The prevailing trend celebrated the innate beauty of wood, with finishes that preserved its natural essence, allowing the grain to take centre stage. The designs embraced minimalist aesthetics, gracefully incorporating delicate curves achieved through the mastery of traditional craftsmanship.

In the case of TURA, the new collection by Estudi Manel Molina for VERGES, the use of solid wood not only enhances the warm and pleasant silhouette of the chairs and stools but also adds a tactile element that further elevates the overall appeal of these remarkable furniture pieces.

The exquisite beauty of walnut wood and its timeless appeal is also prominently showcased in the SOFIA Collection by luxury furniture specialist SOHER, particularly in its captivating tables, display cabinets and sideboards. The rich American walnut wood veneers are masterfully finished, complemented by delicate brass accents and the luxurious Nubuck leather elements that add a touch of charm and sophistication.

With the evolving concept of blending home and office spaces, a shift has occurred, making the integration of wood furniture more prevalent in workplaces. The A table and chairs by Naoto Fokosawa for KETTAL capture this transition beautifully, offering a harmonious balance between functionality and warmth.

The use of solid wood not only adds a touch of natural elegance but also creates a sense of comfort and familiarity, fostering a more inviting and relaxed atmosphere for productivity. Naoto Fukasawa’s design exemplifies how the integration of wood in office furniture can bridge the gap between professional environments and the comforts of home, redefining the way we perceive and experience workspaces.

Whether it’s a stunning dining table or a cozy chair, wood designs have a way of captivating attention and becoming the focal point of a room.

Like the ATRIA chair by Gabriel Teixidó for CAPDELL or the NARA chair by Carlos Soriano for TM Leader Contract. The solid structures of these charming chairs not only provide durability but also infuse a sense of warmth and comfort into the space.

The iroko wood used for the mast of the OM WOOD parasol by CALMA offers a fresh approach to Mediterranean-style umbrellas. It combines the necessary hardness and resistance to deal with the strength of the wind and erosion from salt, with the added beauty of its grain and colours.

Wood is also the defining element of PARALEL, the outdoor furniture collection created by Gabriel Teixidò for POINT. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the collection artfully combines Indonesian teak wood from responsibly managed forests with synthetic rope, resulting in a harmonious blend of natural elements.

The collection’s fourteen pieces, including chairs, armchairs, sofas, tables, and even a sun lounger, embody a human-centric design that seamlessly integrates with outdoor spaces while reflecting a deep connection to nature.

A sense of wonder was elicited by the RARA AVIS side tables created by Mermelada studio for clock specialist NOMON. Inspired by Cubism, this eccentric piece showcases an artistic stylization of a wooden bird perched on a base crafted from Rosso Levanto marble. The attention to detail and the combination of materials create a stunning and unique aesthetic.
