For Ventura Lambrate, Antonio Aricò worked specially on retro and powerful furniture pieces, following his philosophy and personality based on two simple words: work and fun. Prepared, thought and loved in the South of Italy the designs of the collection ‘Back Home’ was created in a small, traditional atelier with Antonio’s Nonno, Saverio Zaminga. Retired Carpenter, still in love with wood and shapes, Nonno had an important role in Antonio’s new collection. ‘Back Home’ is a joyful mix between new products and Antonio’s hit designs such as the Watering Kettle Can or the Welcome Tree Carpet already shown in few Italian showrooms and at the DMY in Berlin last year. Surrounding these two pieces, you’ll find some new objects such as: The Waitress Armchair, The Dumba Chair, The Silly chair or The Bench One & a Half. Friendly, sculptural, disproportioned, sober, comfortable and made essentially of natural and solid wood with beech old and dark effect, Antonio’s designs are all about fun and movements. ‘Back Home’ will also introduce lamp, lantern, desk, kettle and table. Antonio wanted to welcome you in a comfortable living room - an elegant, warm sharing space.
Antonio Aricò says: “With Back Home I wanted to bring us back to our memories and childhood. The shapes and volumes of the collection hide fun, warm personalities and characters – all surrounded by a familiar and a cosy feeling. Sit and relax you’re Back Home»
