Milan 2014 - Tolix T4 Chair and N pedestal table
The art of Tolix? Producing robust furniture using very thin sheet metal with no thick parts to make the design heavy. This is achieved by clever shapes playing with folds, lips and recesses, all of which help to make it rigid. The new T14 chair, which stands proudly beside the Tolix furniture flagship model, the A chair, is the perfect illustration of this technical prowess. Welds have been reduced to a minimum in this lightweight chair, thus limiting the risks of corrosion, in order to satisfy the constraints of today's outside furniture.
With the T14, which is also available with a wooden base, Tolix has managed to revitalise its business by innovating without compromise its original DNA: metal furniture that is robust, easy to handle and elegant both indoors and out, made in France and sustained by a long tradition of craftsmen.
Pedestal table N illustrates the Tolix taste for clear, functional models in tune with their surroundings. It can be matched with all the chairs and has been designed above all to evolve with the new T14 chair. It therefore offers a set of matching Tolix furniture for terraces all over the world.
PORTS 1961 F/W - Global Soul, Urban Spirit
Is only spring time but is about time preview Fall/Winter collection. PORTS 1961, founded in Canada in 1961. Now to be important and one of the most popular luxury brands to China, including Hong Kong. Talking about The Fall and Winter collection, The season's colour palette is exact, stark and graphic with black, white and grey taupe. Military coats, flared trousers and pencil lorgnettes offer strong yet smooth silhouettes counter-balanced by fluid draped tops and organic pleats in blouses and skirts. The playful kilt-skrit, richly textured and sculptural, steps forward as the season's lead protagonist. The details also tell a story of bold taste and tailoring with refined cuffs, over-front peplums and exquisitely - worked necklines.
We love the Men's collection so much! Classic tailoring fabrics are engineered in pure, clean and sporty shapes in deep blue, Scots grey, mahogany and black. Classic English tweeds and flannels are bonded in boxy archetypical shapes. Fiona Cibani and Ian Hylton look to re-boot British heritage for their Ports 1961 F/W collection. A tribute to Edwardian England, this re-incarnation is characterized by pin-sharp modernism and nonchalance elegance. Its King Edward VIII meets avant-garde British artist, Anthony McCall, for a smart-urban look.
