On the one hand, the Italian Company looks to the future, collaborating with Philippe Malouin, Meda/Quincoces and Olimpia Zagnoli, on the other it enhances its heritage by re-proposing a project designed by Claudio Salocchi in 1969.
The British-Canadian designer who enriches the Acerbis collection with his sculptural approach, introducing a new design language to the brand’s universe. Also making their debut with Acerbis are Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces, the brand’s artistic directors, who embody an aesthetic that perfectly balances formal precision with material exploration, blending architecture and design. Acerbis’ experimental approach across different disciplines - an integral part of its DNA - also takes shape in the collaboration with Olimpia Zagnoli. The illustrator and multidisciplinary artist translates her distinctive visual world into a design object for the first time.
The exploration of design history continues with the re-edition of a significant work by Claudio Salocchi. After an initial success, this piece remained largely unexplored for years and now returns to reaffirm its design relevance.
Trench by Philippe Malouin
Trench is a collection of sofas and armchairs that reinterprets the concept of upholstered seating with new proportions. Its pure, almost ancestral form exudes a sculptural presence, yet astonishes with its exceptional comfort - defined by a single fluid curve shaping both the seat and backrest.Trench achieves a striking sense of visual lightness, accentuated by its seemingly suspended structure, elevated on two legs set perpendicularly to the frame. The armrests, impeccably integrated, are available in a fixed configuration or as independent elements that can be freely positioned, allowing for a tailored experience of comfort.
Le Cupole by Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces
A perfect synthesis of material and form. Le Cupole, the new table designed by Francesco Meda and David Lopez Quincoces, is a tribute to geometric purity and sculptural elegance - a piece of strong visual impact that transforms the power of material into a gesture of absolute balance. The base, composed of three marble-sculpted domes (cupole in Italian), supports the tabletop with architectural precision, creating a dialogue between stability and visual lightness. The curved surfaces and soft lines of the domes enhance the sense of symmetry and dynamism, while the refined details emerge in the rounded forms and brass inserts that enrich the composition. The carefully calibrated interplay of proportions accentuates the contrast between the solid presence of stone and the essentiality of the design, elevating the harmony between full and empty, structure and surface.Gigiona by Olimpia Zagnoli
Seductive yet naïve, Gigiona is a modular and ever-changing piece, to be observed and reassembled each time with fresh eyes. Made from Murano glass, it consists of six coloured and transparent frames that, once assembled, reveal the silhouette of a woman in the unmistakable graphic style of Olimpia Zagnoli.When disassembled, the figure dissolves into a play of lines and colours, fragmenting into a new visual perception. Always transparent and elusive, Gigiona interacts with perception and light, transforming with every glance - both in its assembled form and when separated, where each element can exist independently or in new combinations.
Palla by Claudio Salocchi
At the forefront of both design and approach to seating, the Palla armchair by Claudio Salocchi is a manifesto of the creative energy of the 1960s - an era marked by the pursuit of new forms of freedom, including in design. First presented at the eighth edition of the Salone del Mobile in Milan in 1969, Palla stands out for its radical concept, challenging conventional furniture design and exploring new ways of relaxation and conviviality. Starting from the volume of a sphere, Salocchi deconstructs its form into a perfect balance of function and aesthetics. The seat and footstool interlock in a dynamic dialogue, creating a playful yet refined design where comfort is conveyed through generous volumes and meticulous attention to detail. Today, more than fifty years after its debut, Palla joins the Acerbis Remasters collection, preserving its original design identity and reaffirming its expressive power. Offered in its original dimensions, with optimised comfort and available in both a fixed and a swivel version with a return mechanism, it continues to defy design conventions, bringing a bold aesthetic and Salocchi’s pioneering vision into contemporary interiors.Acerbis on ARCHIPRODUCTS
