Janua's design assays forge precious surfaces and products

25/01/2019 - Imm cologne provided Janua with a perfect opportunity to showcase its novel products including new surfaces in precious metallic finishes, as well as the BC 06 RooM 68 shelving system, the BC 05 Stomp Stone coffee table, and the S 600 extendable table. While Janua is by no means new to smoked oak, the brand has experimented with the use of smoking on matured timber to create an entirely new and authentically ‘vintage’ look, combining both charring and washing.

Stefan Knopp collaborated with Torben Hansen, founder of Schotten & Hansen, to develop two metallic color nuances: gold on the oak and graphite on ash wood are now added to the washed natural tone. The result is a precious finish on a classic surface, which graces the Stefan Knopp Edition tables. The BC 06 RooM 68 modular shelving system made by the Hamburg designer duo Hoffmann and Kahleyss feature a highly detailed anodised aluminium in combination with robust solid wood surfaces from the Janua collection. The BC 06 RooM 68 can be customized as a lowboard, sideboard or highboard via an array of elements. The BC 05 Stomp Stone is new as well – with a table top of petrified wood up to 360 million years old. The coffee tables and side tables are now also available with new leg frames of anodised aluminium in bronze and brass. The S 600 extending table, which is conveniently extendable by 60 centimetres to accommodate two additional seating places. A ball-bearing butterfly extension gives the table another function, as the ‘butterfly’ unfolds its wings using a single handle. Such is Janua’s enthusiasm for communicating their passion that they also introduced a new virtual reality experience. Sensitive interior design and a particular love of wood as an essential design material transpire as their special hallmark. The film was available to visitors at Janua’s stand in Cologne.
