An intense year full of design and exciting projects is coming to an end. Since Henge’s inception, our journey has been rooted in research and has emphasized the importance of materials and their uniqueness. This approach has allowed us to create something special that embodies the finest craftmanship.
We would like to inform you that the company will be closed from December 23rd to January 7th. For all communications during that time, we invite you to send us an email at [email protected].
Orders received during the Christmas holidays will be sent to production starting January 8th, 2018.
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.

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.

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.
