JANUS et Cie – Collection: A Celebration of Texture
HIGH POINT – Oct 10, 2019 – JANUS et Cie introduces Anatra, a masterfully produced collection by renowned Spanish architect and designer Patricia Urquiola. The sophisticated, infinitely livable dining and lounge collection is foremost a celebration of craft and texture.
“Anatra was born from my desire to play and experiment with the scale of weaving, a technique that is very distinctive of JANUS et Cie,” says Urquiola. “I wanted to try and find the perfect balance between lightness and durability, to translate the concept of comfort into generous and embracing seating solutions.”
The unique look of the collection’s impressive surfaces stems from the weaving technique, which is intricate and sturdy, but loose enough to appear semi-transparent. The soft and inviting textured braiding wraps the frame gently, creating a link between the solid and soft parts of the collection.
Indeed, the powder coated aluminum frame of the seating, which comes in Cadet and Oxford finishes, is extremely durable yet beautiful. Anatra’s stunning rope finishes are Cadet with a Platinum or Cyan cross weave and Oxford with a Nickel or Cyan cross weave. Generous cushions create the ultimate comfort.
The tables have their own texture story, with powder coated aluminum frames paired with a choice of two sleek tabletops: a cool Textured Alabama Ceramic or a classic Carrara Marble.
Anatra’s smart construction and luxurious design bring comfort and style to any residential or commercial application, indoors or out. The Anatra Armchair is the winner of a 2019 IIDA/HD Expo Product Design Award in the Seating, Group – Dining category and an honoree for the 2019 HiP at NeoCon Awards in the Product – Hospitality (Seating) category.
