Moda 10/10 : Tabu by Eugeni Quitllet for Alias
Eugeni Quitllet and Alias present new Tabu version at 10/10 Moda exhibition in Paris until october 3rd. Tabu is a chair range started in 2014 “TABU” uses the most advanced technology available: that of NATURE, and another: that of man …the Robot. To synthesize nature in order to naturalize industry” says catalan designer.
The tabu collection is available in a number of variations. It sees the combination of different elements in solid ash wood, all produced using a numeric control system and subsequently joined to one another. The version with a methacrylate backrest is innovative and unique in its kind in the wood seating market. The result finds two different materials, wood – which represents nature – and transparent polymer, which interprets technological research, both brought together to breathe life into a metaphysical object. It provides the highest expression of Quillet’s approach in designing objects with refined surfaces and different materials that interlock with one another. According to Eugeni Quitllet “ TABU is a metaphor of truth : “Gene-ethics””
The tabu plastic full backrest is now available with its new larger backrest in transparent methacrylate or in wood.
The tabu collection is entirely FSC® certified; each product is made using wood from forests that are managed in a sustainable and responsible manner, keeping in with strict environmental, social and economic standards.
Tabu is available in natural ash, in dark or walnut-dyed oak, as well as in the more up-to-date open-pore lacquer available in 12 cutting-edge colours.
