CDesign Collection – CDesign Collection

C Design

Chairs, sideboards, tables, coffee tables, and consoles, C Design, conceived and designed by Francesco Meda is a collection that aims at creating unique pieces that reveal their essence through a careful choice of materials: wood, metal, and lava stone, combined with a color palette that enhances the intrinsic quality of each product. Every object is born from geometries and shape sections that translate into a reduction of superfluous material usage. The minimalist rigor of the pieces, which feel almost architectural, creates a distinctive aesthetic within the current interior design landscape. A collection with a gentle trait, physically and visually light in appearance, in which cutting-edge technology coexists with a return to craftsmanship for the final finishing touches.

C Design is exhibiting with two exceptional partners: the gallerist Rossana Orlandi, one of the most influential personalities in the world of design, who will distribute the products exclusively, and Chelini, for over a century a leader in luxury furniture made in Italy, responsible for production, in an encounter between art, craftsmanship and avant-garde contemporary design.
