The color of evolution

Among the new offerings of Elledue, the Penelope modular sofa, the LA1016 chair and the Irma door stand out for their references to the 20th century reinterpreted in exotic tones

Elledue, between tradition and change. New creations are the result of a new approach, but always in tune with the philosophy of the company throughout its history. The collections introduced at the 58th Salone del Mobile in Milan feature fine wood, metal finishes, soft matelassé, refined marble and precious leathers inserted in an exotic context.

There are countless references to the elegance of the last century and oriental culture, modernized by tones of minimalism. The range of colors includes neutral tones, from warm grays to sandy hues, enlivened by vivid touches of ochre and sky blue that add personality and unique character, as in the case of the Penelope model.

Divano Penelope, Elledue

Sofa Penelope, Elledue

This modular sofa is based on the swivel chair of the same name. The structure is imposing but refined, with references to rationalism and the luxury of American Art Deco. A distinctive feature of Penelope is the vertical matelassé workmanship on the back, which creates an interesting contrast with the rounded, sinuous form of the frontal portion.

Seduta LA1016, Elledue

Chair LA1016, Elledue

The booth at the design fair in Milan also presented the LA1016, a chair with a slim structure in solid wood combined with an ample seat in woven cord. The legs are enhanced by bronze and brass.

Porta Irma, Elledue

Irma, Elledue

The Irma door, on the other hand, blends advanced production techniques with the use of the finest materials to provide functional quality and style. The gray veneered wooden frame forms a pleasant contrast with the panels featuring refined inserts in marqueterie de paille. The eye is immediately attracted by the elegant play of colors.
