Wiener GTV Design Thonet - Mos Bookcase black

MOS is the family of storage units designed by GamFratesi with console, bookcase and side table, which can also be used as a bedside table, that incorporates the style of the bench of the same name, another GamFratesi project. Ellipse shape and calibrated dimensions remain common features of the new elements, which fit into any environment, thanks to their light elegance, whether it be the living room or the sleeping area as in refined lounge spaces. The woven cane shell conceals the wooden tops, two for the coffee table, three for the console and four for the bookcase. The frame in natural stained or black lacquered bent beech wood is supported by brass feet

Gamfratesi

Studio Gamfratesi was founded in 2006 by Danish architect Stine Gam and Italian architect Enrico Fratesi. The studio is based in Copenhagen. GamFratesi's design draws its creative drive from the fusion of tradition and innovation in an experimental approach to selected materials and techniques. Each with their own traditional background, Stine Gam and Enrico Fratesi draw on classic Danish furniture and craftsmanship, as well as a classical Italian intellectual and conceptual approach. Understanding a tradition and actively addressing it in the workshop allows them to expand it. From this cross-cultural substrate comes a design that respectfully reflects tradition while presenting unique stories, symbols, and associations, often expressed in minimalist ways. GamFratesi aims to create furniture that illustrates the process and techniques that created it and reflects a persistent exploration of the border zone between harmony and disharmony. They participate in numerous exhibitions-Milan, Stockholm, Copenhagen, Cologne, New York, Shanghai, London, Berlin, etc.
