This year, we are introducing the c r a z i e s , a number of design exercises that raise the bar in unbridled creativity. Based on our solid foundation of traditional craftsmanship and luxury, these four projects offer a series of special edition seating solutions that combine functional comfort with originality and freshness.
The Crazies of Marie’s Corner The J a c k s o n crazies are sculptural tributes to Mondrian with a colourful interpretation of the cosmopolitan world we live in. Depending on their finish, they can express contained classicism, passionate energy or natural freshness. They are available in “Sunshine”, “Green” and “Classic” finishing. There is also the d a k o ta , acclaimed for its comfort, which has been redesigned in a multicolour tone-on-tone edition. In addition, there are the m o n t e r e y crazy chairs. This
Sunshine
simple, colourful range offers comfortable quality. All the classic models are available with the crazy finish upon request. Finally, there is the X- O n e chair, an ecological event furniture concept made from environmentally friendly materials with a cardboard honeycomb structure. The chair can be customised with print work on the front and seat, or with cushions in ecological fabrics (leather is also available upon request). The
a

X-One makes for an eye-catcher to add an extra dimension to
