03/04/2020 - Comfort, functionality, and community are the greater traits of the Et al. furnishing production, which always put into the foreground the relationship between people and the environment, satisfying all the daily needs.
Lightness, sturdiness and comfort; the new Palau collection by Marc Sadler combines aesthetic perfection and functionality, providing solutions to easily furnish all kind of environments like communal spaces, offices and meeting rooms, Food & Beverage premises, indoors and outdoors.
“Monobloc chair and armchair seemingly simple in design but hiding a considerable technical-productive sophistication. From the generative process capable of translating the imagination into an architecture where for the first time form and function aren’t necessarily related, emerges a seat aiming at suppleness and that has succeeded in conveying it, with a result never seen before on any existing monobloc chair. This is a refined and elegant chair, stacking up to 6 pieces both in the side chair and armchair version, and that guarantees the highest structural standards”. Marc Sadler
Philippe Nigro has designed a family of metal seats for Et al.. Shade was created using the welded steel wire technique which gives the entire project a clean and minimal silhouette as well as an original graphic pattern that characterises the seat and backrest and changes depending on the viewing angle.
“Working with a typically industrial material, which has its own innate elegance, I designed a seat taking inspiration from the creation of some of the great engineering works: In fact, Shade is a micro architecture of steel tubes and wire that have been welded together to create a graphical and optical woven effect.” Philippe Nigro
Nassau is a one-piece family of seats in polypropylene reinforced with glass fibre and made using the injected air-moulding technology that makes it sturdy and light at the same time. Rounded lines, a simple design and curvaceous shapes identify its character.
“In the crowded field of chairs Nassau stands out with its simple and elegant silhouette and that certain « je ne sais quoi ». Like some stylish ladies, unique amongst others and you can’t really explain the reasons why.” Marc Sadler
The origin of Stripes comes from the combination of three words: contemporary, memory and functionality.
In fact, while recalling shapes from the past, Stripes reinterprets them in a modern key, creating a chair that fits into public areas and homes, for indoor and outdoor use. Stripes is also technology: the seat and back are made from a single laser-cut sheet. The cuts create a “stripe” effect across the entire surface, giving greater flexibility and ergonomics, while allowing perfect drainage of water in the event of exposure to weather.
