The challenge of the STILT collection for District Eight comes first of all from the particular context: to design for an atypical Vietnamese company a collection of furniture that draws its inspiration from the culture of Vietnam, highlighting its tradition of craftsmanship while maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the manufacturing culture of contemporary European furniture.
The generous cushions, which offer extreme comfort thanks to a complex internal construction, are supported by a thin curved wooden shell, upholstered in fabric or leather, which seems weightless. The bearing structure is clearly distinct and consists of solid wooden logs with important sections like traditional Asian wooden constructions. However, the metal completes the construction, playing an essential role in stabilizing the structure while lightening the silhouette. As much as the wood is generous and round, as much the metal is its exact opposite. The logs with perfect verticality are indeed connected to each other thanks to a branched metal structure through recessed joints of apparent simplicity and immediate reading but made with cutlery precision and a mechanical design engineered to the smallest details.
STILT is the result of a quest for harmony in contrast.

Bellows has been designed with the intention to give another interpretation of upholstery. The Bellows stool and side table have no foam core and a loose leather or fabric cover. Everything is about softness and casual nature. The height adjustment mechanism is invisible but at the same time gives to the stool and the side table a different and natural shape at each position, such as an over the knee boot in soft leather reshaping when the knee is bent.

After a decade of working with FENDI Casa, my commitment is unchanged: experimenting, creating furniture whose value derives from the quality of the materials, and above all from the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. While referencing the glorious design period of the first half of the twentieth century is only natural, my collections for FENDI Casa are resolutely contemporary, free of nostalgia, designed to stand the test of time. Soho, presented at the Salone del Mobile 2012, has been reimagined and imbued with new elements. As for the new collections, they are as diverse as they are varied, all linked by a common thread: the double F.

The bases of the Arc tables are derived from an elementary geometry, but the result is sculptural. The void takes over the full, the inside passes to the outside and the mass becomes a thin thickness.

Joss is, above all, a manifesto project of the high-quality craftsmanship acquired over the years by District Eight, which today integrates almost all the furniture trades and crafts for total control of the production process.
Joss is a clear illustration of the fact that, in design, the quest for simplicity is the result of a complex journey. Creating a monolithic sofa characterized by exceptional seating comfort and coverings that emphasize the roundness of the volumes while maintaining a clear definition of the edges through particular attention to the seams is challenging.
Joss solid wood bases, whose natural tones are the result of an ingenious thermal process developed by District Eight, are characterized by an upper curvature, a declared reference to ancestral elements of Southeast Asian architecture.
The complementarity of the generous foam volumes with the wooden bases, in perfect continuity, not only gives this resolutely contemporary collection a strong identity but also demonstrates the precision and attention to detail of District Eight’s production.
If Joss conceals details that attract the eye and the hand without ostentation, it is harmony and serenity that prevail.

H Collection redefines the codes of American metal outdoor furniture while drawing on its roots.

The rigor and essentiality of the aluminum supporting structure is in contrast with the softness and generosity of the oversized weaving and the lounge-comfort cushions. From these seeming contradictions, H aims at timeless continuity and harmony in the near and global environment.

H is a resolutely contemporary collection that highlights the manufacturing quality of a responsible “industrial craftsmanship”. The craft know-how is combined with the most advanced technologies to meet the requirements of performance and resilience in the face of harsh climate conditions.

After a decade of working with FENDI Casa, my commitment is unchanged: experimenting, creating furniture whose value derives from the quality of the materials, and above all from the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. While referencing the glorious design period of the first half of the twentieth century is only natural, my collections for FENDI Casa are resolutely contemporary, free of nostalgia, designed to stand the test of time. Soho, presented at the Salone del Mobile 2012, has been reimagined and imbued with new elements. As for the new collections, they are as diverse as they are varied, all linked by a common thread: the double F.

The challenge of the STILT collection for District Eight comes first of all from the particular context: to design for an atypical Vietnamese company a collection of furniture that draws its inspiration from the culture of Vietnam, highlighting its tradition of craftsmanship while maintaining an ongoing dialogue with the manufacturing culture of contemporary European furniture.
The generous cushions, which offer extreme comfort thanks to a complex internal construction, are supported by a thin curved wooden shell, upholstered in fabric or leather, which seems weightless. The bearing structure is clearly distinct and consists of solid wooden logs with important sections like traditional Asian wooden constructions. However, the metal completes the construction, playing an essential role in stabilizing the structure while lightening the silhouette. As much as the wood is generous and round, as much the metal is its exact opposite. The logs with perfect verticality are indeed connected to each other thanks to a branched metal structure through recessed joints of apparent simplicity and immediate reading but made with cutlery precision and a mechanical design engineered to the smallest details.
STILT is the result of a quest for harmony in contrast.
