Natuzzi 2013 collection

ARMONIA The Armonia sofa is inspired by the design of the CambrĂŠ model, one of the iconic products of the Natuzzi collection, launched during the 2010 Milan Fair. Armonia represents the maximum expression of the Italian, craftsmanship excellence. Its various elements, from the wooden structure to the metal base, from the backrest and seat cushions to the arms, seem to melt together to create a complete "harmony" of the shapes. The sofa has an essential design, thanks to its thin metal base which holds up simple, clean and comfortable volumes, rich in precious details like the raw edge with double stitching, an absolute novelty for Natuzzi.

This sofa boasts an extraordinary comfort thanks to its padding made with a mix of the latest generation polyurethane (resistant to deformation and eco-friendly), which offers unrivalled softness, whilst being notably resistant over time because the seats do not deform with use.

TENORE Tenore has a minimalist style with open base structure, extra-thin arms and metal legs, with an unusual geometric shape, that create a balance between modern and essential shapes. Thanks to its compact size, Tenore is the perfect solution to furnish a city-size apartment, but is a handcrafted, top of the line product, rich in precious details.

This sofa is characterized by various details: special contrast stitching, skilled crafted, that creates a geometric play of stitchings and vanishing points that recall the metal feet design.

Royal Botania 2013 collection VIGOR An eye striking set with charisma to spare. The rough Teak or Mahogany beams are jointed to the aluminium frame by obvious dovetail shaped strips, replicated in the matching bench and stools. A very old technical solution, that proves today to work aesthetically as well! Inspired by the classic Picnic Set but on level not seen until now.

ALURA Those who thought that it had become quite impossible to bring out a really innovating aluminium range, are proven wrong by the ALURA. All this without compromising comfort and functionality. The range of soft edged stackable chairs, relaxing chairs, and barstools - available in a textured black, white and sand finish - are complemented by a lounger with unequalled ergonomics. With a simple push you activate the hydraulic piston, hidden inside the frame, lowering the seat, lifting the backrest and knees while lowering your feet. A patented piece of engineering only featured in this Royal Botania masterpiece, setting new standards in outdoor ergonomics!

ELEGANCE There is a hint of mystery in the new hand-tufted Elegance rug and it’s all thanks to the new technology that Limited Edition has used for this trendy Eastern design. The pattern on the surface is created by sophisticated variations in the loop and cut piles.

METROPOLITAN The graphic pattern of Metropolitan is certainly an eye-catcher for any home but this carpet is the perfect addition to many interior styles. A contemporary loft with a sleek look and feel? Or a more retro living area with vintage accents? Metropolitan fits perfectly in many homes.

Chr

Style Icon 2011 and Brit Award winner 2012, Christopher Guy Harrison is well-known as a creator of world’s fabulous furniture. We firstly met him for the launch of Christopher Guy showroom in Bangkok. Since then, he is always our style idol. We enjoy being inspired by him.

1. What are your inspiration for latest pieces launched in high point?

My latest collection is inspired by the undisputed style of Coco Chanel, as if she were alive today and commissioning her house in her late thirties. The collection combines her understated elegance with a contemporary edge and internationalises Parisian chic for the 21st Century global residence.

2. What are key color and accent color for this collection?

The key tones are neutral, elegant colours that suit a modern home anywhere in the world.

3. Recently, Christopher Guy brand associates a lot with fabulous people and events. The brand is actually the only furniture brand that connect to luxury brand in other fields like sport cars, cannes film festival, etc. This is so different from other luxury furniture brands, and the brand looks very good in those exclusive functions. What are reasons behind this strategy?

Christopher Guy is a luxury brand and therefore it is a natural connection for us to be associated with other luxury goods and lifestyles. A luxury, or celebrity lifestyle is the ultimate dream for many, from a beautiful home to fabulous cars, watches, clothes and holidays. Luxury is not about needing...its about wanting.

4. Christopher Guy has been expanding drastically in the past several years. We do believe that you must be excited that new big things keep coming up. What are the most exciting/enjoyable project or campaign for you so far?

Within the last year we've opened many new showrooms, including 10,000 sq.ft

showrooms in Las Vegas, LA and a 20,000 sq.ft showroom in Manhattan, New York.

We've launched the beautiful Mademoiselle Collection, which includes over 400 pieces, to compliment our Autograph and Galleria collections. We have just launched our exciting new website, which has a fantastic design tool, iBuild, enabling users to design their own walls, room or floor plans using digitalized Christopher Guy hand sketched drawings, mimicking mood boards from 1920s France. All of them have been exciting and had their challenges but the most enjoyable part is to see them work!

5. Is Christopher Guy’s current brand positioning like what you planned in the early state? Is it similar or different from what you expected when you just started?

I began by designing mirror frames and then moved into the full lifestyle collection you see today; throughout I have always wanted to design for the luxury market and I therefore work with high quality materials and employ the finest craftsmen. I grew up dreaming of creating a luxury lifestyle, which is today reflected in the Christopher Guy brand and its pieces.

6. Would you mind share us about your upcoming project of Christopher Guy in the near future?

We're working on a new business that will shake-up the design world in late 2014...watch this space!
