This chair is an approach to neo-japanese modernismusing a traditional weaving method. The shadows cast by the woven seat and fabric covering the sides produce a soft touch, differing from that of ordinary craft work.

MR. SIMON
Aaron Feliu and Nacho Frias, two designers that in a parallel way of its own projects, join to personal experience in the field of design.In this way Ms Simon is born, a
creature that allows us to design without rules or limitations.

THIS DOES NOT WORK
“Ceci n’est pas une chaise,” some would say … This is not a chair or a table of course.
It is obvious that a table is used to put objects on the surface, and a chair to sit comfortably.
This sweeping definition creates a concept that prevails in the primary function versus form.

With this concept we developed in an ironic way that some products apparently do not meet its primary function,
but if we approach and experience, we see that above all these objects meet its mission: OPERATE.

 
INSTABLE
At first glance it seems that this table does not comply with their role. His apparent inclination is solved with a transparent level that returns the horizontal to the table.

SENSILLA
It seems that something is wrong in the design of this chair. At first, what we see as a backup exaggeratedly low, which gives discomfort to the chair, is actually an armrest.
The real support is a sheet of methacrylate that is unnoticed because of its transparency.

The aesthetic based on pure lines, seeking to reflect the essence of these items of furniture, giving greater importance to the concept.

Can you picture yourself enjoying a snack with Tuex?

Tuex chair offers you a comfortable cocktail of satisfaction, elegance, pleasure and infinite relax to savour in your terrace, in your pool, in your favourite club, at the beach, or in the intimacy of your home.

Tuex’s hexagonal pattern has reminiscences of the simplified organic forms found on the seabed. It combines the ample possibilities offered by the unique geometric pattern used in the development of its steel structure and fabric, in a merge of unequal forms that speak the same language.

The cleanness of the structure, formed by three interweaved skids, shows a visual lightness that disguises its real firmness.

By simply choosing the appropriate fabric, Tuex can be used both in open spaces or at home.

Here, Tuex is shown in its version for open spaces, in a fretwork neoprene fabric which, due to its elastic properties, allows a complete tension of the material and provides a contradictory visual contrast with the comfort of the chair. Additionally, neoprene has all the advantages of a material designed for outdoor aquatic sports.

For its use at home, Tuex is provided in a tridimensional fretwork that is fixed to the structure with a nautical rope, allowing an easily removal and cleaning of the cloth while taking advantage of the stackable properties of Tuex.

We also offer the possibility of developing Tuex in different leather designs.

Tuex offers a mixture of concepts and forms that make it a perfect companion to enjoy the best moments of your day.

TICO AND TICA, two models inspired by tradition
Let us introduce “Tico and Tica”, two likeable models inspired by the traditional and popular chairs that our elders used for their outdoor chats. Continuing what is an essentially Mediterranean style, these are intended for the interior of the home and contract environments.

Tico is inspired by the male back, while Tica is evocative of a female hip. These two new models are made of beech wood, both sides being lacquered in matt white and the heads being of visible unpainted wood. The seat is upholstered in a fabric that is reminiscent of old seats of twined bulrush.

CATRET, the divine sensation
The “Catret”, a relic of our forebears’ lifetimes, goes beyond the spiritual sphere in which it was normally used to reach our homes, never losing its unique character. It is a folding chair that works as a light and practical accessory. It is a fun way to take a seat. It comes in high-gloss, white lacquered beech wood with a seat made of rigid strips of fabric.

We have been working in industrial, graphic and interior design under our own brand since January of 2006. As a team, we understand that every client is unique and requires personalised treatment. With a fresh, dynamic and young outlook, our activity encompasses markets such as communications, beauty, sport, ceramics, construction, decoration and product design, to name just a few.
