Innovative designs with natural stones at Casa Decor 2022

Innovative designs with natural stones at Casa Decor 2022

Marble, granite and quartzite are materials chosen by a good number of professionals at Casa Decor 2022 to give a unique touch to their spaces. Capable of transforming any room in the house into a personal and stylish environment, natural stones have become an essential material in the world of interior design, not only for covering floors and walls or making countertops, but also for shaping pieces with great personality and beauty.

This year, moreover, committed to the #CasaDecorSustainable campaign,  initiated at  Casa Decor 2020  to promote sustainability, the majority of participating companies are taking part in the Exhibition with a wide range of products produced with organic, renewable, recyclable and biodisposable raw materials, as well as as with recycled materials, without losing its decorative appeal. Here we present some of the designs that are setting trends.

MarbleSpain, warmth and beauty

A multitude of projects in collaboration with hundreds of architects, interior designers and decorators have made the members of Stone Capture by Marmolspain, infallible  “advisors in natural stone” . In this edition of Casa Decor, several participating professionals have found in the stones of this Spanish firm an excellent point of support to give that special touch in the decoration of their spaces.

The Casa Decor “New Eclipse” Auditorium , designed by Miriam Alía for the Technogym firm, was born with the idea of ​​projecting a different sensitivity and returning to essential and intrinsic needs: the energy of the sun and our well-being. To achieve that tranquility in the space, the designer has chosen a palette of warm tones among her materials, so the Miele Onyx from MarmolSpain used in the presentation table makes this a very special piece in keeping with the tones of the space.

For the firm Ron Matusalem on its 150th anniversary, Marta Sánchez Zornoza has created a sensory project that takes us to the Caribbean. In this space, the natural stone of MarmolSpain has become the main element, chosen by the decorator in shades of tan, green and white that evoke liquor, the sea and light. Using the Ungravity Sistem cutting technique , a system that allows thicknesses of between 6 and 12 mm to be obtained, reducing the weight of the stone for its application on walls and furniture, with the Purple Vulcano and Red Onyx models, the bench, tasting tables and the walls and ceiling. While, the Pakistan Green Onyx and the backlit White Onyx , shine on the bottle racks and the counter, respectively.

Cupa Stone, sustainable and ecological

For Cupa Stone, Casa Decor 2022 will be its fifth consecutive participation. As in previous editions, the materials of this expert company in natural stone is present with its products that, based on a noble and ecological material such as natural stone, have become benchmarks in the broad sector of interior design. This year, the brand shows unique and innovative materials from its catalog in two Exhibition Spaces.

The interior designers Meritxell Ribé and Josep Puigdoménech, creative directors at  The Room Studio,  have created a multipurpose space  that can perfectly be located in  a hotel hall,   in a  private home  or in a  public place. This multipurpose space creates a perfect balance between the modernity of its design and the elegance of the Cupa Stone natural stone. From the Calacatta Viola of the countertop, through the floor in Caliza Blanco Paloma, to the wall in Caliza Campaspero, natural stone helps to create a unique and aesthetically matchless space.

The Bang & Olufsen “Home Cinema” Space, designed by Cristina Remírez and Jerome Le Fouillé of Disak Studio , is inspired by the exclusivity of details, like the interior of a high-end car, where the fusion between noble materials , such as leather, wood and natural stone, among others, reflect quality and comfort”. The timeless, sophisticated and elegant style of the space can be seen in the countertop of the wine cellar, made of Iron Red granite in a spectacular shade of red with black and white veining.

Marble Sun, dreamlike textures

Fran Casinello , at the head of the Mandalay studio, has designed the Flamme Rouge suite, which is pure emotion. Without following any trend, they offer us an impressive, daring and timeless space, full of pure lines contrasted with very powerful organic touches. At the back of the space, a  daytime bathroom area has been created, in which a pair of Indra Onix washbasins have been placed, from the exclusive Infinity series in a Mirror finish,superimposed on the back, also in onyx. Its pattern of lights and shadows, the result of its translucent composition, make this material the cornerstone of the design. The pure and crystalline white of this backlit onyx, with an almost dreamlike texture, provides a touch of elegance and distinction to the space.

Cristina Espejo and Marta Goyanes have created a large bathroom designed as a space to spend many moments dedicated to our physical and emotional well-being. In the washbasin area, a piece of furniture designed for Strohm has been placed, in matte nickel-effect sheet metal and a stone countertop, by Mármoles Sol, which contrasts with the dark wood niches.

Levantina, large format natural stone

For more than a decade Levantina has been making its exclusive products available to the professionals who participate in Casa Decor to help them create unique, welcoming and impressive settings. Floors, walls, countertops, tables and decorative objects made with natural stone and the large-format Techlam porcelain tile.

In the COAATM space  The technical architect and the art of dissecting,  César Ávila Rodríguez , from CA Interiorismo, has created a calm bathroom with great visual power that allows one to see the artisanal and manual part of the various layers of the construction process. In this space,  Levantina has been responsible for covering the bathroom with an elegant floor and a wide skirting board in Staccato natural stone , one of Naturamia’s new proposals,  whose veins and patterns offer a prominent presence in the space.

The Bao Proyectos team has been in charge of creating the Oplontis kitchen for the firm Asko, an elegant and minimalist space, in which the central island stands out, for which the Syrah countertop , from the Naturamia collection , has been chosen. Gray, brown, ocher and reddish tones give life to the oxidized and industrial aesthetic characteristic of this quartzite that combines the typical colors of corten steel with the beauty of a rocky and natural landscape, merging with the space in perfect harmony.

« Living the future », the space created by  Simona Garufi for the Thermomix firm  , is a living room with a futuristic kitchen, which looks like the interior of a spaceship. To cover the floor of this futuristic environment, the interior designer has chosen the luminous and timeless  Crystallo, which recalls the delicate appearance of marble. It is a Techlam porcelain tile with a white surface traversed by imperfect and delicate curved lines, which transports the visitor to the surface of a planet.

Nasrid spaces, elegance and naturalness

This firm from Granada stands out for working with materials as was done in past centuries, according to ancient craft techniques, with which it manages to capture the beauty and showiness of materials from other times. It is also a form of ecological construction, with walls, floors and ceilings that breathe freely, in harmony with the environment, free of plastics and polluting chemical agents.

A marvelous Mediterranean limestone floor extends throughout the Technogym Space, designed by Miriam Alía. It is an asymmetrical exploded view, in perfect harmony with the marked deconstructivist trend that Miriam Alía has imagined in the design process of the Casa Decor 2002 Auditorium.

“InspiraciOHM 180º” is the space that Strohm Teka presents at Casa Decor 2022, by the interior design studio Espejo & Goyanes. The vaulted area for the shower moment has a spectacular geometric floor with limestone cutting, produced by Espacios Nazaríes, which is completed with a handmade skirting board with an old “Rojo Torcal” marble.

Cuellar Stone, natural stone in 3D

This leading company in 3D stone projects and products comes to Casa Decor for the first time to show the infinite possibilities that natural stone and compact surfaces offer in the world of interior design. Its innovative application in furniture, organic murals and design elements is raising great expectations among visitors to our Exhibition.

“A dream experience”, is the hotel suite designed by Estudio   Muher as a corner of experiences through sensations, twists and textures found in nature. In the bathroom area, the shower made entirely of white Macael marble stands out, showing its different applications and textures. This material has been used both for the cladding, in a honed finish, and for the shower tray, in a sandblasted finish. Also in the cladding, a decorative relief in the form of a flower stands out, giving the space uniqueness and exclusivity.

​With the modular and versatile furniture from the firm Tegar Mobel, the Madrid interior designer Jose Lara recreates ” Tegar Urban Stay “, a complete apartment in just  24 m2. Looking for design and functionality, on the wall facing the social area of ​​the apartment stands out a textured limestone cladding that houses the television, providing elegance and practicality to the environment.

¡

Miapetra, convex sinks

With its unique and unrepeatable designs, this Segovian firm, which is characterized by the innovation of its sinks made of natural stone, has been part of our Exhibition since the Casa Decor 2019 edition.

At Casa Decor 2022, he collaborates on the public toilets on the ground floor, “A roman bath” designed by Somos2Studio. Its new De he ZYL Convex models preside over the washbasin area, with a unique design characterized by its simple and elegant lines, which does not go unnoticed by visitors to the Exhibition. With this new model, the relationship of respect and care for nature as well as for the traditions and craftsmanship that characterize this firm are reflected even more intensely, if possible.

Porsche Design celebrates its 50th anniversary

Porsche Design celebrates its 50th anniversary

Stuttgart. Porsche AG congratulates Porsche Design on its golden jubilee. Two very special cars are the highlights of the anniversary year: the exclusive Porsche 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design and a historical 911 S 2.4 Targa from Porsche Design’s founding year of 1972, which has been faithfully restored by Porsche Classic. What unites them is the colour scheme, which, in recalling the legendary Chronograph I designed by Professor Ferdinand Alexander Porsche in 1972, sees both the exterior and the interior dominated by the colour black. Alongside them, Porsche Design is also presenting the Chronograph 1 – 1972 Limited Edition. The Porsche Museum will be celebrating the anniversary with its own special exhibition, opening on 19 January 2022.

“When you rethink the function of something, the form sometimes emerges as if by itself” – this was how F.A. Porsche described what still drives the engineers and designers at Porsche Design today. In 1972, he founded Porsche Design with his brother Hans-Peter. The designer of the Porsche 911 envisaged a company that would carry the principles and spirit of Porsche beyond the boundaries of the automobile. Porsche Design has long since become an internationally renowned premium lifestyle brand, known for functional and durable products with a purist aesthetic.

Exclusive special edition: a modern take on a design classic
The 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design is a limited run of 750 cars with numerous features inspired by the iconic designs of F.A. Porsche. In addition to the all-black exterior, the nods to the past include the classic checked Sport-Tex seat centre panels and the red second hand of the Porsche Design Subsecond clock in the Sport Chrono Package, which comes as standard.

The special edition is based on the 911 Targa 4 GTS and can be ordered now from 185,606 euros¹. The anniversary model will arrive with European sales partners from April. Buyers can also purchase a special version of the new edition of the legendary Chronograph I. Features such as the edition number and wheel-shaped winding rotor underline the connection to the 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design.

Totally unique: a 911 S 2.4 Targa signed by F.A. Porsche
For the past two years, Porsche Classic has been working on a unique project to celebrate 50 years of Porsche Design. A 911 S 2.4 Targa from 1972, the year Porsche Design was founded, has been restored for the anniversary. “The vision was to produce a historical counterpart to the new 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design,” explains Ulrike Lutz, Head of Porsche Classic. “With the aid of the new Sonderwunsch (special wishes) programme, we were able to implement the idea of a unique pair of vehicles. The job of the designers and works restorers was to carefully transfer the specifications of the new car to the classic.”

The base vehicle, a 911 T 2.4 Targa from 1972, was in a poor condition and was missing some parts. While this would normally be a tricky start to a restoration project, on this occasion it wasn’t important for the planned modifications. The Porsche Classic experts completely upgraded the engine and chassis to the spec of the S version. The top-of-the-range model in its day, it had a displacement of 2,341 cc, which generated 190 PS at 6,500 rpm, and was equipped with mechanical fuel injection.

In tribute to Ferdinand Alexander Porsche, this one-of-a-kind vehicle features the same colours as the legendary Chronograph I watch that he designed in 1972, with black dominating both the exterior and interior. Classic side stripes with a Platinum satin finish and integrated Porsche Design lettering adorn the flanks. As a special highlight, the Targa roll bar has also been lasered in a Platinum satin finish – a new interpretation of the brushed stainless steel of the original classic model. The Targa lettering is finished in matt black. Like the special edition model, the grille on the rear engine cover features a ‘Porsche Design 50th Anniversary’ badge with a reproduction of F.A. Porsche’s signature.

Other anniversary products and accessories
For all Porsche and watch fans, Porsche Design is also presenting the Chronograph 1 – 1972 Limited Edition with a historical logo and lettering. This edition of the original, limited to 500 examples, has no visual parallels to the new special edition car and is available in the usual way from Porsche Design.

Limited Capsule Collections in the fashion, shoes and sportswear, luggage and accessories ranges, as well as special eyewear collections complete the anniversary offer.

About Porsche Design
“Good design must be honest,” F.A. Porsche always emphasised. He designed the legendary Porsche 911 and founded the design studio in 1972. Today, Managing Director Roland Heiler and his team still follow that philosophy. Using authentic materials, they design carefully thought-out, functional and durable products with a purist aesthetic. As the in-house design team of the Porsche Design brand, their inspiring high-quality products include watches, sunglasses, luggage and leather goods.

With locations in Zell am See, Berlin and Ludwigsburg, Los Angeles and Shanghai, the design office also offers its services to international clients. This results in first-class consumer goods, household appliances and industrial products – for example in collaboration with Elan, KEF, LaCie, Morita and Panasonic.

The choice of materials plays a decisive role in Studio F. A. Porsche’s products. Titanium and carbon can turn them into lifetime companions and add new, unexpected functions. The combination of traditional, honest design approaches with ambitious innovations turns the products into genuine luxury items.

Special exhibition at the Porsche Museum
The Porsche Museum is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Porsche Design with a special exhibition that will run until 11 July 2022. Part of it will feature information on the life of F.A. Porsche, his design philosophy and his huge creative influence. Exhibits spanning five decades and many product ranges will also be on display.

Symbolising the birth of Porsche Design is the Chronograph I, with two versions of the legendary timepiece forming the centrepiece of the special exhibition. The design concept radiates from this centrepiece through to the other exhibits. These include, for example, the P8478 aviator sunglasses, the Monobloc Actuator chronotimer series with fully integrated stopwatch pushers, as well as the P3613 tobacco pipe and the P9521 mobile phone. Items on display on the balcony of the Porsche Museum include the 993 Speedster owned by F.A. himself – as well as the 904 that he described as his masterpiece. The 1972 Porsche 911 S 2.4 Targa restored by Porsche Classic and the new 911 Edition 50Y Porsche Design will also form part of the special exhibition.

TAG HEUER designs hiroshi fujiwara

TAG HEUER colabora en el nuevo reloj de edición limitada inspirado en las carreras de motor con diseños de fragmentos Hiroshi Fujiwara

El cronógrafo TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02 es una pieza de colección limitada a solo 500 unidades que luce un atrevido fondo de zafiro rojo y está equipado con el excelente movimiento de fabricación Heuer 02, que cuenta con una impresionante reserva de marcha de 80 horas.

TAG HEUER colabora en nuevas carreras de motor
reloj de edición limitada inspirado con diseños de fragmentos hiroshi fujiwara

La Chaux-de-Fonds, Suiza – 18 de junio de 2020: el relojero suizo de vanguardia ha revelado su segunda colaboración con el padrino de Streetwear, Hiroshi Fujiwara, con un diseño único equipado con un movimiento de fabricación, el Calibre Heuer 02. Sobre la base del éxito rotundo de su primera creación con el diseñador japonés y su etiqueta Fragment Design en 2018, la última colaboración ha dado como resultado una novedad atrevida pero minimalista de edición limitada, un puro reflejo de la herencia automovilística de TAG Heuer y principios de diseño audaces, con acabados de alta gama, un bisel de cerámica y un fondo de zafiro rojo ardiente.

Presentamos a un diseñador, músico y amante de los relojes de influencia mundial.

Hiroshi Fujiwara es el fundador de Fragment Design, una etiqueta multidisciplinaria creada en 2003. Desde entonces, ha colaborado con algunos de los nombres más grandes y reconocidos en moda, diseño y arte. Fujiwara es una figura legendaria que se celebra en su tierra natal de Japón y en todo el mundo por su visión única del hip-hop streetwear. Más allá de su legado en la moda contemporánea, Fujiwara también es conocido por su impacto en la cultura dominante, la música y el diseño codiciado.

Fragment Design deja su huella en el cronógrafo TAG Heuer

La última colaboración entre las dos marcas ha creado una audaz reinterpretación de los modelos de estuche C inspirados en las carreras de motor de TAG Heuer de los años 1960 y 1970, una forma de estuche que también se encuentra en las colecciones actuales de TAG Heuer.

Hiroshi Fujiwara explicó: “Rediseñar este reloj cronógrafo TAG Heuer me dio la oportunidad de usar un legado existente para crear uno nuevo. Le di al diseño un toque moderno y excepcional con el fondo rojo de la caja, que refleja uno de los colores del logotipo de la marca y también le da un carácter completamente nuevo y evolucionado “.

Franck Touzeau, Vicepresidente de Creación y Producto de TAG Heuer, agregó: “La reinterpretación de Hiroshi Fujiwara del cronógrafo de caja C de TAG Heuer es una mezcla ideal de legado célebre y diseño vanguardista. El cronógrafo TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02 es todo lo que el aficionado a los relojes de hoy en día desea en un reloj: tecnología pura e innovadora, aspecto llamativo y elegante y herencia notable “.

Estilo minimalista que se centra en los elementos esenciales más notables del reloj.

Haciéndose eco de su estilo magníficamente proporcionado y minimalista, Fujiwara despoja la arquitectura del reloj de lo esencial, enfatizando la escala icónica del taquímetro en el bisel y limpiando la esfera de cualquier adorno extraño. La esfera negra opalina tiene dos subcontadores en relieve negros a las 3 y las 9 en punto. El negro contrasta con las letras y logotipos blancos, incluido “FRAGMENTO” entre las 4 y las 5 en punto, y una ventana de fecha simple a las 6 en punto. Los únicos contrapuntos a la composición de alto contraste son los índices rojos y la manecilla central lacada en rojo, que le dan al dial un toque extra. El resultado es un reloj audaz y elegantemente escaso de 44 mm que es fácil de leer sin esfuerzo a velocidades máximas.

En el reverso de la caja, la arquitectura de dos mostradores del movimiento interno Heuer 02 está parcialmente oscurecida y es aún más llamativa gracias a una ventana circular de cristal de zafiro rojo. El movimiento automático del cronógrafo de rueda de columna es una pieza central digna; excepcionalmente preciso y con una reserva de marcha de 80 horas, demuestra el dominio continuo de TAG Heuer del diseño e ingeniería de la relojería. La parte posterior de la caja de zafiro rojo presenta el logotipo inconfundible de Fragment Design, y cada pieza está grabada con un número único de edición limitada del 1 al 500.

El diseño de Fujiwara también incluye una nueva característica exclusiva: una pulsera de acero de cinco hileras con un cierre desplegable de mariposa. Está finamente pulido y cepillado para captar la luz con cada movimiento de la muñeca.

El reloj estará disponible para pre-pedido en www.tagheuer.com y en boutiques seleccionadas de TAG Heuer antes de salir a la venta el 27 de julio de 2020.

En una serie numerada de solo 500 piezas, el TAG Heuer x Fragment Design Heuer 02 es un verdadero original basado en una rica historia. Un testimonio del sentido del diseño de Hiroshi Fujiwara y el legado disruptivo del automovilismo de TAG Heuer, es un reloj de colección de primer orden.

Antony Gibbon designs – The Stealth House

Geometría singular, el diseñador y arquitectónico Antony Gibbon forma su último trabajo residencial titulado ‘Stealth House’. el volumen aislado se visualiza dentro de un contexto desolado y montañoso y toma forma como un bloque facetado, recordando las condiciones geológicas circundantes. 

Antony Gibbon designs 

The Stealth House 

Con un diseño dirigido hacia el objeto arquitectónico, Antony Gibbon normalmente expresa un enfoque en la forma general y la forma del proyecto, que a su vez se convierte en un artefacto monumental situado firmemente dentro del paisaje.

En algún lugar entre una guarida secreta y un refugio alpino se encuentra la Casa Stealth de Antony Gibbon. 

El escondite geométrico hace honor a su nombre con una forma angular y una fachada de línea de piedra que se funde con el paisaje montañoso circundante. Su interior es un refugio sorprendentemente acogedor de la gélida tundra, que obtiene su calidez de los ricos pisos de madera y gabinetes.

 Las paredes de acristalamiento sumergen los espacios de vida en las vistas de los picos nevados, mientras que una escalera de caracol conduce a un observatorio de nivel superior. Aunque es solo un concepto, la misteriosa vivienda ofrece material adicional para los sueños de cuarentena.

Antony Gibbon Designs – TWINE: SERIES ONE

En una exploración formal continua de espacios escultóricos y anómalos, Antony Gibbon visualiza “hilo”, un proyecto monumental caracterizado por torcer tramos de hormigón. El diseñador arquitectónico utiliza un par de superficies onduladas que se despegan rítmicamente del suelo para generar un espacio interior intersticial.

Estas dos zonas acondicionadas se conciben como bolsillos residenciales, programados con un espacio para dormir y un salón de cocina. Entre estas zonas interiores de la residencia imaginada hay una zona de asientos exterior hundida, parcialmente encerrada por la amplia estructura superior.

Con su último proyecto titulado “Twine”, el diseñador arquitectónico Antony Gibbon continúa investigando una estrategia escultórica de búsqueda de formas concretas que se puede ver en su casa de Mobius. La geometría imita el lenguaje de una estructura de concha natural al tiempo que sugiere una suavidad casi orgánica y una sensación de movimiento fluido. La superficie introduce una serie rítmica de cuadros desplegables que revelan cinematográficamente y hacen eco del perfil de las colinas distantes.

hacia los espacios condicionados, el límite implícito de cada interior se formaliza con una delicada pared de vidrio casi imperceptible que sirve para preservar el perfil distintivo de la arquitectura.

Mientras que el ‘hilo’ de Antony Gibbon sugiere la introducción de una nueva topografía con sus superficies orgánicas, el proyecto exhibe intencionalmente una desconexión física del paisaje. Al imaginar el contexto en el que se sitúa la estructura escultórica, Gibbon genera un vasto plano de tierra acondicionado que está terminado en mosaico de piedra y se extiende hacia las colinas distantes. Esto sugiere un “distanciamiento estético” de la naturaleza, en el que el entorno natural no se relaciona con la arquitectura, sino que se deja enmarcar y admirar. (por Kat Barandy, designboom).

Nota: Hempcrete es el material de construcción real de este edificio, no el concreto como se anuncia.
