Talking about Henge at design week 2016

We caught impressions and feelings about Henge during the design week 2016 at 7 Via della Spiga, through the words of people who promote our philosophy in the world and deeply love our work.

A new mood for Cote Deco

The great showroom Istanbul based Cote Deco welcomed the new year with new moods and atmospheres: the set-up shows the world of the latest Henge products, their rare materials and intriguing shapes, the feeling their combination emanates.
The new collection gives another light to the space, following and going along with the inspiration and individual identity of the Turkish showroom: Wall Clips in their very special configuration give an extraordinary touch to the room, both magnetic and warm, elegant in their silvery charm.
The combination of different matters plays an important role in making the air of this new collection and this new set-up so inebriating: examples like Ghost Lamps, union of apparently distant worlds like brass and resin, are the key to fall deep in a contemporary concept of living, bold, yet welcoming.
The entrance of the special H-Silver among Henge’s materials at Cote Deco has been greeted with enthusiasm by the public, who finds this attention and research for precious detail striking and catchy.
Cote Deco renews its elegance and care for its customers, going along with Henge in its journey at the discovery of new feelings and sensations that change the way we live our homes and their design.

Henge presents the atelier in via della Spiga 7, Milan

HENGE opened the doors of its Atelier in via della Spiga 7 on Thursday December 10th, in the heart of Milan, illustrating the discreet charm of its world and presenting its first monograph. Not just a conventional showroom but a space conceived for the world of interior design, in order to display the brand’s most significant selection of furniture characterized by a high real value, and to make available to architects and interior designers the tools to create a design system in which on demand is the protagonist. The philosophy of HENGE, in fact, does not envision a closed catalogue of objects, yet it involves tools that are employed to develop a complete customization of the domestic environment together with the designers. The ‘recipe’ is apparently simple: there are no recipes. Thanks to numerous customizable features provided to the interior designers – as materials, finishing, processes and the possibility of defining sizes that are outside the standards- the HENGE customer has more than enough room to research and shape the brand’s atmosphere according to his project. ‘What would we want in our home?’, this is the question Creative Director Massimo Castagna asked himself to begin designing the spaces of the Atelier in via della Spiga 7, at the first floor of an historic Milanese home, of which all the historic features and volumes have been kept intact. A solid balance between content and aesthetics, in which matter, technology and form are combined in the light of some key concepts of the HENGE manifesto. Aesthetics beyond time, to decorate a home with a contemporary taste that is yet far from cold minimalism. Materials and manufacturing quality, of which historic and research value has been handed down, as for example, marsh oak (a fossil wood that has been underground for 500 years) or an artisanal burnishing with liver of sulfur. Complete Customization, for which the idea of design as formal application of various aesthetics to mass production is rejected. All of HENGE’s research in the hands of the interior designers. Suggestions. Besides furnishings, 360 degrees of special creations are also displayed, as the 12-meters-high wall lined with wood paneling. Contrasts, considered as balance between opposites, as, for example, a book matched alongside raw concrete walls. Interpretations, that develop starting from the furnishings functions that do not explain the ‘how’, but the ‘why’ of each choice. Propensity towards Art, whose content and emotional approach flows in the direction of the brand’s universe.
An atelier that faithfully mirrors the international contemporary and high-level projects of interior design, for which HENGE serves as illustrious partner offering furniture, upholstery, lighting, accessories, and special products that feature a high level of customization for home decoration, all rigorously and uncompromisingly handcrafted. The expression of the most sophisticated Made in Italy. To best present the combination of these elements, HENGE presented a precious book that is focused on the artisanal knowhow, narrating the exceptional Italian manufacturing abilities. A volume created by Studio Gusto Ids, divided into three sections, printed in a limited edition of just 300 copies, embellished by images shot by Andrea Pancino and Mattia Pasin, in charge of illustrating HENGE’s vocation towards craftsmanship and the high real value of its products through symbolic images: from building details, to the making of the Atelier in via della Spiga 7 and the finalization of the spaces. Even when it comes to volume, details are what makes the difference; as the fabric-effect paper cover, hand-binding, the closure with 7 red threads and numbered metal plate. The book is the first of a yearly collection that will describe all the steps of the path through beauty and aesthetics that HENGE has build along its journey through innovation and research.

Mass Beverly shines for Henge

On the October 28th, 2015, Henge took center stage at the prestigious Mass Beverly, a groundbreaking 360 design showroom located in the heart of the West Hollywood design district, where the most important design showrooms are located.
Here, an exclusive cocktail celebrated the strong bond between the brand and Mass Beverly.
The presentation at the Los Angeles showroom is a mirror of the philosophy of Henge, which conceives furniture as a faithful travel companion, able to accompany people through their life journey and evolution, building with them a personal and intimate relationship.
A display that emphasized Henge’s craftsmanship which, between pure art and design, is able to connect sophisticated functionality with emotion and passion for savoir faire.
Animated shapes in every piece underpinned a silent game of architectural rigor and freedom of expression that is a stark departure from the industry’s predictable lines.
A perspective of an entirely tailor-made interior design, and creative workshop, where all is possible thanks to the availability of the best materials – rare woods, burnished metals, soft leathers and natural fabrics, state-of-the-art technologies and a local knowhow. A collection of timeless furniture, Henge is a visionary interpreter of Italian craftmanship.

Welt am Sonntag at 7 Via della Spiga

7 Via della Spiga is a magic place, it’s not only an Atelier, it represent Henge’s idea of home.
This place was the perfect surrounding for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, that has chosen the showroom for a special event held on 11th of November. The occasion was the presentation of the new style Director in front of a small selection of journalists and special clients.
We are proud to have hosted this event and to have had the opportunity to show 7 Via della Spiga.
