PRIMARY DESIGN QUINZE & MILAN / 1999 Stripped to the essence, PRIMARY is the first comprehensive Quinze & Milan collection and a line that deserves to be called a Quinze & Milan classic. PRIMARY kicked off the use of QM FOAM™, a proprietary material developed and produced by Quinze & Milan. The pieces in this collection include stools with and without legs (POUF 01, POUF 02, POUF 03 AND POUF 04); one-, two- and four-seater settees (SOLO, DUO and QUATTRO); and a chaise longue (LOUNGE). Soft materials and a simple design language are a tried-and-true formula for a happy marriage. Not only did POUF 01 receive a triple Henri van de Velde Award (Belgium, 2001), but the sassy character of this comfortable, water-repellent collection has made it a hit worldwide: look for PRIMARY in prestigious public spaces from San Francisco and Detroit to Cannes and Porto. The pieces in this collection also lend themselves to residential projects.

PILOT DESIGN PATRICK RAMPELOTTO & FRITZ PERNKOPF / 2011 Glossy meets matte, light meets durable. PILOT is Quinze & Milan’s new range of stools. Pilot is smart, beautifully detailed, and available in 3 sizes. The design of the stool is based on traditional archetypes, their basic simplicity in form and function. The organically shaped seat is supported by tapered legs made of oiled European oak. The seat itself is generously proportioned for comfort, its material tactile and contemporary. The ends of the legs are threaded and screwed into the seat, a connection that is both simple and sophisticated given the two very different materials of the joint.

DISNEY The 81.000 SF Disney Store Headquarters by Clive Wilkinson Architects was a conversion of the historic Royal Laundry Building for The Children’s Place, to create an open and collaborative work environment for 230 employees. The existing brick walled structure inspired the creation of brick-like elements for the interior, which allude to the playful building block habits of children. A 20-person ‘Block Conference Room’ is formed on two sides by foam block walls. When the foam modules are disassembled, they become the seating system for 200-person company meetings.

A PIECE OF CONTEMPORARY TOKYO AnAn is a new Japanese noodle bar designed for Autostadt, Germany, the theme park and communications platform of the Volkswagen Group. Hosoya Schaefer Architects won the design competition held by Autostadt GmbH in 2005 and completed the project in 2007. The task was to build a Japanese noodle bar that represents on a small area, a piece of contemporary Tokyo. The space is conceived to be both transparent and filled with a range of different graphics and sensibilities creating a heterogeneous, urban whole.

S ECON D S K I N What makes a chair a chair? What distinguishes it from a stool, a sofa or a bench for that matter? For Second Skin, we stripped down the notorious easy chair from all unneccesary frills, until we were left with nothing but its core, the bones. Given the deconstructed chair and keeping in mind traditional upholstering in leather, we then started playing – the result being a comfortable chair reflecting a 21st-century interpretation of time-honoured craftmanship.
DESIGN QUINZE & MILAN / 2010
Just Skin and Bones. ›› THE EASY CHAIR, STRIPPED DOWN TO ITS CORE. ›› Choose LEATHER / KVADRAT FABRICS. ›› BLACK OAK FINISH AVAILABLE.
A strikingly simple framework, created from massive lacquered oak, supports a generous piece of leather skin which is wedged between the back and arm rests. Each chair is constucted by hand and totally unique, due to the variety in cut-outs of big pieces of leather and the way they are draped around the framework. The wink to fashion should be obvious, as well as the reasoning behind its name - although apart from leather, there is also the option of upholstering the chair in the desired colour of Kvadrat® fabric. If desired, up to five layers of (contrasting) leather or fabric can be applied to one chair.

QUARTZ DESIGN QUINZE & MILAN / 2007 Quinze & Milan tackles geometry once again and has furthered its work on forms and faceting, seeking new effects from the wood and creating a chair whose design is a combination of the past and future. Using the most classic of materials, Quinze & Milan has successfully made an object with a symbolic shape in which the material gains qualities of luminosity. Quartz is an object of the future that retains the intrinsic value of wood – strong and hard-wearing, comfortable and basic. “We wanted to give the material a different look without however ignoring its natural qualities. The facets give a dynamic and vibrant appeal, while the surface plays with the light, creating a sparkling effect. Just like quartz.”

INTERACTION On the Airbench Cross, you’re almost seated in front of each other. Staying silent is no longer an option as it burdens you with an unpleasant feeling. Verbal and social interaction, giving new energy and impulses, becomes the only standard in community life. On the Airbench Single and Double, people receive glimpes of each other and start communicating out of curiousity. People get interwoven by interaction. They are forced to sit in an open atmosphere and cocooning is very much a memory from the past.

PENTAGON DESIGN THOMAS TRITSCH / 2007
Thomas Tritsch
Don’t think one, think five! In his design Thomas Tritsch underlines the sturdy form of the mathematical figure existing out of five corners.

MAZE DESIGN QUINZE & MILAN / 2006 The MAZE collection was born in our studio, but its genes are of the East – MAZE means table in Hindi. Viewed from above, it’s almost as if you’re looking through the mesh of a net. There’s something mysterious about it; it looks different depending on the angle you view it from. Although small in size, the MAZE SIDE TABLE enchants everyone with its suggestion of transparency. Its common sense lies in its flexibility: place it inside, in the living room or

JELLYFISH DESIGN WIEL ARETS / 2006 A relaxing chair that encourages active use is JELLYFISH, a seat for lounging, for listening to music, for having a bite to eat, for talking with friends. The dynamic JELLYFISH is a modern rocking chair. Owing to the rounded form of the base, the chair moves slightly. It’s a seat that ruffles the feathers, so to speak, but in a positive way. Wiel Arets
The standard JELLYFISH HOUSE collection is produced in sturdy rotation moulded PE which is extremely well suited for outdoor use, the same frame is used as the base for an upholstered edition (leather and Divina by Kvadrat®), therefore few of these chairs have the same outward appearance. The colours are UV stable.

HONEYCOMB DESIGN CLIVE WILKINSON + INTELLIGENT DESIGN / 2007 Honeycombs one of the oldest architectural concepts known, inspired this design of a flexible shelving system. Of course we had to call it HONEYCOMB. The individual units are made from rotation-molded thin walled polyethylene resulting in an exceptional transparency and rigidity. A straightforward riveting system allows for an efficient and reversible installation with unlimited and flexible compositions. Clive Wilkinson
HONEYCOMB ensures an enhanced structural capacity that allows stacking up to 7 meters in two directions and even allow the removal of units within a built wall to create ‘windows’. So keep your things in place, your peeping neighbors out or your friends in and make your own humming environment…

LITTLE MISS O DESIGN CONCRETE AMSTERDAM / 2009 When UN Studio asked them to design certain areas for their major project, the Mercedes Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany, CONCRETE AMSTERDAM based all its designwork, down to the very detail on the specific identity of the owner. Their aim was to create identity within a total space experience: create individual worlds where a single visitor identifies with and which invites him to stay. The dishes, table linen Rob Wagemans Concrete Amsterdam
and silverware in the restaurant as well as the division of the spaces are all in a way renditions of the three-pointed Mercedes Benz logo. LITTLE MISS O, which is placed in the children island, is a result from that research and provides an ideal playground where to nurse children and play with them. ›› ITEMS AVAILABLE UPHOLSTERED IN LEATHER AND FABRIC ›› Custom colorS or sizes available upon requesT

MEET THE CREATIVES. A PLATFORM FOR CREATIVE COLLABORATIONS Quinze & Milan is not a typical furniture label but a platform for collaborations, a think tank and factory of ideas, designs, concepts and experiments. It’s this approach that made Quinze & Milan turn into a successful label that guarantees rock ‘n roll, creativity, comfort, quality, excitement and ingenuity.
MAKE YOUR OWN FURNITURE Wood, fabrics, leather, QM FOAM: It’s all yours, down to the smallest detail. On request, we can make exactly what you want. Quinze & Milan offers its extended production platform to industrial designers and project architects. Quinze & Milan is a label that features the work of designers and supports other architects and designers in the realization of their ideas. We like to push the boundaries – our own and those of the people around us. In our cosmos, boundaries exist only to be shifted… In addition to producing furniture at our in-house factory, we work in close collaboration with specialized manufacturers that make use of Quinze & Milan’s proprietary equipment when producing products and designs. In both cases, the result is a quality product that has the added advantage of flexibility – particularly important when serving clients with special requirements. We can make exactly what you want in short order. Variations in size, colour or finish? It’s all yours, down to the smallest detail.
