Mobilier Piloti
By : Appareil Architecture
GRANDS PRIX DU DESIGN – 15th edition
Discipline : Product
Categories : Industrial Design / Furniture - Residential : Silver Certification
The firm offers a furniture collection that includes two benches and a sofa, that align with the proposed architecture of the Beside cabins. From there arises a furniture collection that offers unique details while celebrating solid birch’s natural beauty. Through the use of this local essence, as well as it’s sturdy and lasting manufacturing, the new furniture line is part of a sustainable thought process that guided the entirety of the design.
The PILOTI sofa draws its inspiration from the rhythm of the wooden slats which are omnipresent throughout the cottage. Comprised of several modules and a small, integrated table, it’s flexibility allows it to adapt to a variety of environments and uses. The visible wood structure lends it warmth, while rendering both its front and back sides elegant. Its distinctive massive legs are a unique detail which is present in all the collection’s items.
In the same spirit, the PILOTI benches are characterised by visible joints, inspired by traditional woodwork joints. Rather than concealing them, they are highlighted so as to make them an identifying part of the product. Available in two formats, the benches are composed entirely of solid birch. Their versatile dimensions allow them to be used either as a seat or a side table.
Through this collection, APPAREIL Atelier rose to the challenge of creating a symbiotic relationship between architecture and design and of reinforcing the initial concept through all scales of the project.
