For Ivano Colombo, designing a new
collection is always a beautiful challenge,
which creates strong and contrasting
emotions. Fearing that some products do
not respond to market expectations, the
enthusiasm and the surprise of the creation
of new products respond. It is thinking
about the forms that the designer wanted
to create the Aurea collection: drawing
from both the archives and the "Annibale
Colombo" museum, inside the company,
to then insert concepts and proposals
corresponding to our contemporary living.
Always and strictly with the simplicity of
which he is a promoter.

Tradition transformed into contemporary
codes characterises the work of Simone
Ciarmoli and Miguel Queda. Suspended
between past and present, with an
aesthetics which goes beyond the style of
an age, all the pieces designed for Annibale
Colombo share a precious care for details
to enhance the emotional part of every
single piece.
The artisanal element is highlighted by
the refined trims, the harmony of lines
and volumes, the use of “warm” material
such as brass and antique bronze which
emphasize the precious details, Canaletto
walnut wood, wire mesh which creates
unexpected and mysterious juxtapositions,
without forgetting the precious fabrics that
cover the soft upholstered seats.

La tradizione tradotta in codici
contemporanei contraddistingue il
lavoro di Simone Ciarmoli e Miguel
Queda. Sospesa tra passato e presente,
con un’estetica che va oltre lo stile di
un’epoca, la collezione disegnata per
Annibale Colombo è contraddistinta da
una preziosa cura per i dettagli, pensati
per valorizzare ogni singolo pezzo.
L’elemento artigianale si accentua nelle
raffinate finiture, nell’armonia di linee
e volumi scolpiti in sagome dal profilo
deciso, nell’uso di materiali caldi come
l’ottone e il bronzo bruniti, il legno di
noce Canaletto, la rete metallica che crea
accostamenti inaspettati e misteriosi,
senza dimenticare i preziosi tessuti che
rivestono le morbide sedute imbottite.
