“What I like the most about interior architecture is the chance I am given in every project to create a comfort zone for my client that reflects my design identity without hiding theirs”, expresses Zeina Ammar.
The interior architect earned a master’s degree in Interior Living and Design under the supervision of the great Patricia Urquiola, and, at only 28 years old, she opened the first Henge flagship store in Beirut: Maison Zen. The Lebanese capital, with its contemporary taste and international mix of cultures, becomes the perfect setting for a space dedicated entirely to the search for Henge beauty. Zeina Ammar directs this showcase of the best in Italian custom-made, highlighting Henge’s design skills while following her own personal style, attentively balancing her clients’ identity with her own.

In its efforts to continue research and rework techniques that have been part of the Italian craftsmanship tradition for centuries, Henge has intertwined its ideas and products with a type of fusion grounded in nature and its elements: sand casting.
Sand casting is a process that uses unique and nonreusable sand molds that hold molten metal. It consists of four basic steps: assembling the sand mold, filling the mold with liquid metal, cooling the metal, and removing the sand and casting. The process may seem simple, but it encounters many obstacles that can compromise the successful creation of the product.

New York City has been one of the most beloved and hated subjects for many artists, writers, and poets from around the world, all of whom have navigated their way through its streets, stayed there to be a part of its flow, or just watched it from a distance, intimidated by the rhythm. The Big City often remains a mystery even for those who spend a lifetime there. Within its large mix of cultures and people coming from literally everywhere in order to chase after life dreams, the artistic soul of New York City could undoubtedly be one of the most dynamic places to learn, grow, and express oneself. Due to the intimate bond with art, the events taking place in the Big Apple are a manifestation of power and exclusivity, where one can find the crème de la crème together with the most promising faces of future design.

We interviewed Ugo Cacciatori to discover the man and the designer behind such an eclectic production and life.

Considered among the most influential artists of the contemporary international scene for his ironic and irreverent approach, the playground “Forever Young”, made entirely of brass, has been a big success, entertaining and surprising the Mediateca audience.

The new Be Mine coffee table awarded by Wallpaper* is the evolution of the one presented in 2017 in application with sofa seats or with the D-Code table. Designed to be central in the living area, the Be Mine table evolves from its original application, with edges in the iconic jagged shape, made in XL dimensions of 160×70 cm and 180×70 cm.
Along with the polished brass or silver finishes, the construction is completed using the ground casting method. The standard rectangular shape of the new XL version also provides another pairing with the Touch table, expanding the functions and possible uses.

The Soligo River seems like a magical artery of a village that has practiced selfpreservation for centuries, cradled in its own traditions and strange passing of time.
From the town’s fairytale-sized dimension to its authentic tastes, people live with passion for their relationships and routines, content with the sunsets that illuminate the terracotta roofs and the colors of prosecco vines. Henge is born between these shores: a pact with the beauty of its original nature, in harmony with its themes and with the community of artisans who retain their secrets. Among its beautiful walls, the Corte del Medà encircles a small village of stories and timeless Venetian style, not only on a compositional level but also on its approach to life and its pleasures.

The prestigious Cantoni Trade welcomes Henge in the iconic Dallas Design District. The highly acclaimed interior design space’s exclusive portfolio and 30,000-square-foot showroom become the perfect home to showcase the Henge experience.
