Salone del Mobile: Henge 2016 collection is the protagonist of the atelier in Via della Spiga 7

HENGE opens the doors of its Atelier in via della Spiga 7, in the heart of Milan, presenting its new 2016 collection.

Not just a conventional showroom but a space conceived for the world of #interiordesign, in order to display the brand’s most significant selection of furniture characterized by a high real value, and to make available to architects and interior designers the tools to create a #design system in which on demand is the protagonist. The philosophy of #henge, in fact, does not envision a closed catalogue of objects, yet it involves tools that are employed to develop a complete customization of the domestic environment together with the designers. The ‘recipe’ is apparently simple: there are no recipes. Thanks to numerous customizable features provided to the interior designers - as materials, finishing, processes and the possibility of defining sizes that are outside the standards - the #henge customer has more than enough room to research and shape the brand’s atmosphere according to his project.

‘What would we want in our home?’, this is the question Creative Director Massimo Castagna asked himself
to begin designing the spaces of the Atelier in via della Spiga 7, at the first floor of an historic Milanese home,
of which all the historic features and volumes have been kept intact. A solid balance between content and aesthetics, in which matter, technology and form are combined in the light of some key concepts of the #henge manifesto.
Aesthetics beyond time, to decorate a home with a contemporary taste that is yet far from cold minimalism. Materials and manufacturing quality, of which historic and research value has been handed down, as for example, marsh oak (a fossil wood that has been underground for 500 years) or an artisanal burnishing with liver of sulfur. Complete Customization, for which the idea of #design as formal application of various aesthetics to mass production is rejected. All of HENGE’s research in the hands of the interior designers. Suggestions. Besides furnishings, 360 degrees of special creations are also displayed, as the 12-meters-high wall lined with wood paneling. Contrasts, considered as balance between opposites, as, for example, a book matched alongside raw concrete walls. 

Interpretations, that develop starting from the furnishings functions that do not explain the ‘how’, but the ‘why’ of each choice. Propensity towards Art, whose content and emotional approach flows in the direction of the brand’s universe.
An atelier that faithfully mirrors the international contemporary and high-level projects of #interiordesign, for which #henge serves as illustrious partner offering furniture, upholstery, lighting, accessories, and special products that feature a high level of customization for home decoration, all rigorously and uncompromisingly handcrafted. The expression of the most sophisticated Made in Italy.

For the new 2016 collection, the brand experiments in the world of precious and original materials, in the quest for an exclusive perfection. Demonstrating this research, StoneOak® and StoneElm®, fossil woods that have remained buried for centuries under the clay of the undergrowth due to geological changes and have now surfaced with an enchanting charm. #henge located and employed them to create a limited edition of 10 pieces. Or again, burnished 999 H-Silver® creations ‘Silver’, thick vintage effect E-Type leather and exclusive Web Grey stone.

The value of new furniture and accessories that enhance the materials and quality of workmanship, unveils, for example, in the new Air Light chandelier, composed of multiple Murano glass elements featuring imperfect geometries forming a hand burnished brass empiric lighting installation.

HENGE’s understated luxury also finds expression in a series of dining tables. Stealth, supported by a laser- etched metal net shaped embellished structure with an exclusive Web Grey stone top, and the more minimalistic Zenith Table, circular, in H-Silver® featuring a Stone Cappuccino top.

Original coffee tables, that represent the synthesis between material, production technology and form: D-Code, triangular coffee tables in black burnished brass featuring Black Fantasy stone top or small black burnished brass tiles mosaic; and Galaxy, a multilevel composition of organic shapes of different sizes in black burnished brass, offered with or without smooth engravings.

HENGE’s animated shapes underlie a silent game of architectural rigor and freedom of expression that are far away from industry’s serial schemes and relive in Ketch chairs and armchairs. The first ones feature black E-Type vintage effect leather, while precious charcoal Nubuck embellishes the latter.

A timeless furniture collection able to emphasize the brand’s fine craftsmanship and to create a dialogue between functionality and passion. As for the Style Set wall bookcase, entirely made of precious StoneOak® with inside elements available in burnished, polished and scratched versions. And Phantom totem, a sculpture- container featuring overlaid StoneOak® and H-Silver® cubes defining the space while creating moving lines that celebrate graphic steadiness.

The essential romanticism of #henge is described by the geometric and slightly futuristic lines of the Radical couch in soft deep brown E-Type leather, characterized by a structure of unseen volumes. 

Pulse represents, instead, a more rationalist model, extending across the surrounding space developing its width horizontally being supported by squared two-dimensional brass feet with a hole in the center.

And finally, the burnished brass Ozone bar cabinet, featuring a Stone Cappuccino top, the iconic Bistrot bookcase and the interiors dedicated to the night area.

An obsequious charm that contributes to the creation of an atmosphere of evocative interiors, stripped down of pre-set schemes that are appreciative of the value of boundless knowledge handed down from generation to generation, representing the embodiment of true luxury.
