Henge Preview at Salone Internazionale del Mobile 2018

At the 2018 edition of the Milan Design Week Henge presents a selection of furniture and accessories in three prestigious locations: a booth at the Salone Internazionale del Mobile; the Atelier in via della Spiga dedicated to customization and an exhibition space in via Durini, Milan’s heart of design.

The precious hands of Henge’s master craftsmen combined with a continuous research has allowed the brand to bring ancient techniques back to life – such as briar-root micro-mosaics or special handmade fusions – and new original materials, as the exclusively selected black lake stone or fossil woods.

The evolution of the identity of the brand, headed by the Creative Director Massimo Castagna, is oriented towards the perfection of materials and uniqueness of creations, recoiling from the mere function of furniture, transforming into a manifesto of a cognitive and experimental path dedicated to the excellence of craftsmanship, which it integrates to adapt to different sectors, such as fine jewelry.

Henge presents over 30 new products in Milan, including the Oxymoron Table and the Starlight lamp.

Oxymoron Table is the protagonist of the new designs created for the dining area. The table, characterized by an organic shape, features a large handmade briar-root mosaic top standing on antiqued cast bronze legs that are directly incorporated into it. Henge lamps are lighting architectures that fill the wide aerial volumes. The new Starlight is an example of an antiqued cast bronze lighting architecture composed of “Y” shaped arms arranged on two levels. Available also in the chandelier version, the lamp is presented in the booth at the Salone del Mobile as a scenic suspended horizontal composition.

Through completely customizable and often modular products, Henge expands the boundaries of design, intentionally straying from the limitations imposed by serial industrial productions. The catalogue becomes the starting point for endless compositional harmonies, whose codes communicate with rare techniques and materials, precious finishing, non-standard dimensions and combinations.

Henge opens the first monobrand store in Beirut with Maison Zen

In the Lebanese capital Beirut, a city with an international and contemporary flavor, Henge opens a space entirely dedicated to the brand. An important project, the result of a deep research, of enhancement that places the “on demand” at the center of the design system. The expert hands of the Henge artisans, under the artistic direction of Massimo Castagna, create furnishings that are irreplaceable manufacturing skills, the result of the Made in Italy tradition and development in unique local contexts as the Veneto area.

The setting of the store reflects the contemporary, international and high-level interior projects, in which Henge stands as a valuable partner, proposing furnishings, upholstery, lighting, accessories, up to special products with a high level of customization for the ‘home decor, all made strictly by craftsmen, without compromises and far from the serial production.

On the ground floor is the dining area with the Stealth table, standing on a structure embellished by manually welded laser-etched metal forming a net-shaped alveolar arrangement with Seqouia Brown top. Around the table, six exemplars of the new Extra Chair in precious red brick color nubuck and two Is-A Chair covered in dark green nubuck. To illuminate the space, the Air Light chandelier in Murano fumè glass with black burnished steel structure.

The Palazzi Madia, free-standing cabinet in black eucalyptus wood and burnished brass made with traditional techniques; Loom FR, the freestanding evolution of the successful wall version, Loom: wide full-height opening, hand-burnished brass with smoked glass doors and available in three versions with shelving, with drawer or flap; finally, the Bistrot S, sectional bookcase with joint modules and multifaceted vertical dividers, are the pure expression of the brand’s refined style.

The understated luxury of Henge is also visible in the Zenith dining round table with burnished brass base and top in black eucalyptus wood presented together with the June Chair in Sense leather, and the composition of Light Ring Polygonal lights in burnished brass.

In the living area, the Pulse modular sofa with a deep seat and extra-large armrest is the protagonist, enriched in 2017 with new modules and the new tobacco-colored Sense leather with Simba mélange fabric cushion set. The composition includes the Touch Coffee Tables, available in different shapes and sizes, with hand-burnished brass base and top in solid Oak wood, the Misty Day Bed chaise lounge in soft suede and the Human armchair with anthracite durango back, suede interior and cushions in the new Simba mélange fabric.

The D Code coffee table in the new square shape in burnished brass with top in small black burnished brass tiles mosaic and the Be Mine coffee tables with the jagged surface of the glossy top, in contrast with the raw base, and the exclusive Mushroom Coffee Tables, designed from Yabu Pushelberg, in the brass and bronze finishes realized through the artisan technique of the ground sand casting, enrich the space.

Henge’s many lighting proposals illuminate the living area. The Tape Light, modular LED lighting fixture made of dynamic burnished brass woven bands; the composition Light Ring Horizontal in hand-burnished brass; and the Wall Clips in polished brass and black burnished steel finishes.

The H-Silk rugs, entirely made of silk, are available in the new color palette that mix the green color with grey, and the tobacco brown with red brick color.

On the mezzanine floor among the new items presented, there is the Human Sofa, with a very slim structure and armrest, made with the new charcoal grey Sense leather, completed with Simba fabric cushions; the Shift Lounge Table, a versatile table with Silver Brown Wave Soft stone top and black burnished steel base and the Frame cabinet with Oak wood structure in the new Drama Brass finish.

Henge opens in Cortina d’Ampezzo

Cortina d’Ampezzo, a fascinating place surrounded by the Dolomites, hosts the new housing project L’Ambiente showroom, where traditions and innovations dialogue in an effective balance of solutions and shapes, with the aim of showing contemporary furniture proposals perfectly integrated into the landscape.

Henge is synonymous with craftsmanship through careful and constant research of materials: woods, metals, natural stones, and leathers. From this expressive force, new projects of considerable impact are created. Each manufacturing process begins with the fusion between technology and ancient traditions, with the addition of skilled hands that make Henge products an expression of the true Made in Italy. For each material, different natural finishes are made according to specific personalization needs: value that testifies to the continuous research efforts carried out in the field of production in order to offer customers the widest range of possibilities.

Among the collections on display, the new Saetta table perfectly embodies Henge’s work in experimentation: the rectangular top is made of fir wood from the ancient Tabià, while the structure is made of bronze, produced with the sand casting technique; the Slim Side cabinet is also made in the refined ancient Tabià fir wood with stone inserts by Castellavazzo.

In the living area, there are the Bistro S hand-burnished brass modular bookcase, the Cage B bookcase with swamp elm wood partitions and black burnished steel structure, and the Style Set wall bookcase, made entirely of antique Tabià fir wood with internal elements in black burnished brass and black burnished steel.

To illuminate the rooms are the Light Ring Horizontal, composed of suspensions in burnished black brass finish, and the Flat Lamp Table, with black burnished brass tubular structure and counterweight in Titanium stone.

The concept of the exhibition was designed by Studio Gherardi Architetti per L’Ambiente, a consolidated reference in the world of interior design, with the stone from Castellavazzo and the ancient Tabià fir wood as protagonists. These typical Cortinesi structures, revisited in a contemporary way while keeping traditions, integrate themselves through the study and research of new finishes to these fascinating constructive elements.

Mushroom Table wins the The Architect’s Newspaper awards

Less than a year after the official presentation to the general public last year at Art Basel in Miami, the iconic table designed for Henge by Yabu Pushelberg is awarded the top prize in the Interior Residential Furniture category.

The Architect’s Newspaper celebrates the table’s minimal design and functionality, inspired by the special collaboration between the Italian brand and the renowned architect duo.
The particular form with two levels and two bases along with the ancient fusion technique of using floor molds give the table its distinctive “mushroom” characteristic that, thanks also to this new prestigious recognition, its fame is only reaffirmed, rightfully becoming an iconic product in the Henge collection.
