Furniture and accessories faceted design They are back in fashion for various reasons: The success of several architects who have developed this technique from a sustainable point of view in well-known buildings (such as Herzog & De Meuron for Prada or the Ingenhoven studio for the European Investment Bank in Luxembourg), the value renewed of precious stones in haute jewelery, or the current taste for an eclectic decoration where elements of unusual appearance are mixed with pieces of classic and timeless style.
In addition to its obvious sculptural look, a piece in a faceted format can recreate different games of light if its finish is shiny, such as these futuristic-style low tables made in mirror, which in this case contrast positively with the simplicity of the rest of the furniture and the symmetry with which it has been used. arranged the living room. But you can also choose this decorative resource in natural materials such as wood:
Diamond Woods is a series of tables and stools designed by Tesler-Mendelovich for the Tel Aviv-based company Talent design. The collection has a high craft content although its manufacturing process uses new technologies: African walnut veneers are placed on a core of natural fibers to create the same faceted geometric pattern in different sizes; in this way, the design is light, flexible and at the same time strong and resistant, and can be used even outdoors.
Precisely the outdoor furniture are the most adaptable to a faceted finish, such as the Faz line created by Ramón Esteve for the Vondom company, which recreates a serene and collected atmosphere through various mineral-inspired pieces in polyurethane in the shape of an armchair, sofa, table, flowerpot and deck chair (comes provided with nautical fabric cushions for greater comfort).
Since the angles of a faceted object themselves contribute to creating lighting effects, it is logical to think that they are designed lamps in this format, like the ceramic models by Xavier Mañosa & Mashallah for Marset, with clear reminiscences of seventies disco balls; or the «Ori» folding and Japanese-style luminaires, which are equally suitable for indoor and outdoor use and where the geometric pattern is printed on the material.
Even the trend of the moment in decoration has joined this type of designs; If we were talking a few days ago about the return of the deer as an essential accessory for the living room, here is a wonderful example that unifies 3 must-haves in one: The ceramic material, the animal heads hanging and faceting. Being more up to date is almost impossible!
