Homey
The dining table is produced in four sizes in a
rectangular and a square version and supports wooden or marble tops. Homey
introduces a more contemporary language of design for a warm and welcoming
home, full of elegant and distinctive products.
The Homey dining table designed by GamFratesi
aims to shine a renewed light on the value of the home and emphasize the
centrality of its role in domestic settings that are increasingly attentive to
sharing. This designer table is compact and graphic, characterised by light but
volumetric lines, enriched by fine and expertly worked materials. The
quintessence of Homey is expressed in its die-cast aluminium legs. In a
sculptural play reminiscent of haute couture, the two leg flaps fold and join
together without touching, creating a chiaroscuro effect in the centre. A
refined stylistic exercise that recalls the workmanship of leather, Poltrona
Frau's material of choice. The lines of the two flaps open slightly at the top
to transform into the shelf that supports it.

Stine
Gam, Danish architect with a master in furniture design. Enrico Fratesi Italian
architect graduated with a master in industrial design. Gam and Fratesi gained
experience as architects in architecture studio in Japan and Scandinavia before
establishing their own design studio.
The studio is based in
Copenhagen. GamFratesi’s design takes its creative drive from a fusion of
tradition and renewal and in an experimental approach to their chosen materials
and techniques. With their dual traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico
Fratesi draw on the classic Danish furniture and craft tradition as well as the
classic Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition
and addressing it actively in the workshop makes it possible to expand on it.
From this cross-cultural substrate they create furniture that respectfully
reflects tradition while also featuring unique embedded stories, symbols and
associations, often expressed in a minimalist idiom. GamFratesi have received
significant awards including Finn Juhl Prize 2015, Elle Decoration International
design award (EDIDA) as International Young Designer of the Year 2013,
Wallpaper* Design Award as Best interior 2017, Best Designer 2015 by BoBedre,
Best Designer 2009 by RUM, Invited as Guest of Honor at the Stockholm Furniture
Fair 2014. With their products GamFratesi received final selection Compasso
D’Oro, IF Award, German Design Awards and Good Design Awards. |
