TION
Same spirit, new feel We are the same people who started Akaba in 1986 with more passion than means. The very same ones who, with a design-centric approach made it possible for our products to travel from the Basque coast to the far reaches of the globe. In the 1990s, we refined our products, making them more comfortable and inviting. As a result, you find our products used in community and public buildings as well as in the largest corporations in the world. We remain true to the same spirit of great design, but with a contemporary feeling, embodied with personality and an eye towards satisfying specific needs for our customers. This catalogue pays homage to our respect for the past, our interpretation of the present and how we imagine the future to be. We proudly present the our new collection: Same motion, new emotions.
Misma esencia, nuevos matices M.O.R.sillón, JAVIER MARISCAL & PEPE CORTES Defined by two very simple forms that play against one another, M.O.R.sillón is a very inviting piece that makes it a perfect soft seating solution for public areas. Designed by Javier Mariscal and Pepe Cortés in 1986, M.O.R.sillón was one of Akaba´s first designs to receive international recognition. We are proud to share this piece with you as AKABA rediscovers its heritage and one of the avant-garde pieces that offer both, universal appeal and that respond nicely to the needs of the market today.
Somos los mismos que en 1986 iniciaron el proyecto con más ilusión que medios. Los mismos que con una apuesta decidida por el diseño, lograron que nuestros productos partieran de la costa vasca hasta los lugares más sorprendentes del mundo. En los 90 humanizamos nuestros productos haciéndolos más accesibles. Por eso podemos encontrarlos en numerosas colectividades. Hoy, seguimos manteniendo la misma esencia, pero con un aire renovado, y con diseños y proyectos más personalizados. Este catálogo recoge nuestro respeto al pasado, nuestra interpretación del presente y un acercamiento a cómo imaginamos el futuro. Te presentamos the new collection: Same motion, new emotions.
XOKO IRATZOKI LIZASO
Xoko Iratzoki Lizaso Collaborative working environments have been a topic of conversation for a few years now. Xoko is a unique seating program addressing this environment. The program was inspired by the idea that a corner, from an architectural point of view, can be an interesting and functional form. Xoko builds its program around an upholstered stool, generous in dimensions, which because of its shape, allows the user several sitting positions as well as the ability to join them in different compositions. The line has three versions of bases, stemming from different applications of use. The first being a versatile stool with four metal legs, which facilitate creating different compositions. The second, is a height adjustable central leg stool, which offers adaptability for the individual user. The third, is a lower version with wheels and an integrated pivoting table designed for environments where mobility and reconfiguration is important, like educational or team venues. It is available in a wide range of upholstery options and a range of standard finishes.

NORA MIGUEL ÁNGEL CIGANDA
