We will be there from 7 to 12 June. Coinciding with the 60th edition of the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan, we are travelling to this Italian city to present our new collections, as well as others that have recently won awards and some of the major collections in our design family. We want to share with visitors a new way of experiencing the outdoors.
Our new collections on display in Milan include Heritage, designed for POINT by Mario Ruiz (2016 National Design Award winner), which was inspired by the hand weaving that has characterised us for over a hundred years. And although it will be Christophe Pillet’s City collection’s first appearance in Milan, it is already taking along its first major international recognition: the 2022 Le French Design Award. Our classics and best-sellers will also be at the Salone, an event that POINT has remained faithful to since the very beginning.
Design, innovation, tradition and sustainability are the pillars upon which each of POINT’s collections have been based for more than a century. With nearly 300 products by major national and international designers, our pieces can now be found in projects all over the world, from Australia to Mexico, Dubai, London, Paris and Miami. Important hotel chains such as Four Seasons, W, Shangri-La, The Langham and Hyatt Regency have featured our furniture in their properties.
POINT epitomises the essence of the Mediterranean, quality of life and the art of living.
Meet the best of Spanish design
We are taking some of our most iconic and innovative pieces to the trade show in Milan.
_ Heritage
The Salone will be the coming-out event of this collection that brings together two national design award winners: Mario Ruiz (2016) and POINT (2019). Respect for tradition, innovation, know-how and a desire to find beauty in simplicity are its defining features. Ruiz takes POINT’s famous hand weaving as his reference in developing these pieces. He also adapts traditional materials and formats to softer, more modern and fluid languages. This collection can be easily adapted to a contemporary look or a more traditional setting. All the pieces are made from an aluminium frame with a woven synthetic fibre outer body. The collection is composed of sofas, armchairs, chairs, side tables, dining tables, sun loungers and daybeds.
_ City
This new collection is launched with an international award. Designer Christophe Pillet recently received an award for this collection for POINT at Le FRENCH DESIGN Awards. “This collection is my contemporary take on the art of Mediterranean living, which is unconnected to time. It is a universe where the sun and the earth meet”, explained the French designer about City. A powder painted aluminium structure is the starting point for each of the pieces in this collection. It also features arms made from teak wood –sourced from sustainably managed forests–, a back finished in aluminium and rope, and plump, comfortable cushions. City is composed of tables, an armchair and two- and three-seater sofas. They all exude classicism and elegance, and their cushions can be customised in terms of both prints and colours.
_ Summer
The Summer collection –consisting of a dining room chair and armchair and three types of table– is based on a new take on the traditional chair: universal, simple, functional and timeless, but now given a touch of refinement, technical precision and sensuality. “The decorative effect is produced here by the texture of the weave, which is intended as a homage to craftsmanship. It therefore has something very elaborate (handmade), with a very strong, very simple design”, explains its designer, Christophe Pillet. The chair is made from aluminium combined with rope and is available in different colours. The tables have an aluminium structure and porcelain or compact top. “This is an almost indefinite, classic, universal collection, which we defined very slightly to give it a new touch of modernity”.
_ Long Island
“My goal with Long Island was to make it as desirable and as well finished as a piece of indoor furniture, with a similarly detailed design”, designer Christophe Pillet explains, adding “I sought to create the feeling that these pieces have always existed”. Straight shapes and slim lines define the silhouette of this modular collection of outdoor sofas. Eminently versatile, the pieces that make up the collection include an armchair, a sofa and a chaise longue, which adapt to fit each space. According to Pillet, its simple design aspires “to offer universal elegance and great comfort”. This collection seeks to become a modern classic and consists of thirteen pieces that are complemented by three tables with an aluminium structure.
_ Weave
Since it was launched in 2017, this collection with its soft, relaxed lines has reaped many international awards, such as the International Interior Design Association’s 2018 Global Excellence Awards, Gold Medal in the Ibero-American Biennial CIDI for Interior, Design and Landscape and the ADCV GOLD Award for Outdoor Furniture in 2017. Inspired by the way baya weaver birds weave their nests, Vicent Martínez designed this collection to be as functional as it is emotional. Meticulously finished, each piece is created by hand, woven strand by strand. It consists of a total of twenty-seven elements, including swings, tables, sun loungers, sofas and chairs, all with a structure that envelops, protects and relaxes. The latest additions to the collection are a dining armchair and a versatile rope table base –round or square– that can also be used as a planter or a pouffe. All the pieces have a powder painted aluminium structure and the characteristic rope weave. There are a great variety of possible combinations thanks to their finishes in taupe, cream and black.
_ Paralel
Designed by Gabriel Teixidó, it is set to become a classic. As its creator himself explains, “its characteristic element, wood, is a living element that connects well with people and gives it warmth”. Robust yet soft, its chairs, armchairs, sofas and tables combine Indonesian teak wood (from carefully managed forests) and synthetic rope. There are a total of fourteen pieces, also including a sun lounger, a side table and an extendible table. They are designed for gardens, terraces or porches, integrating easily into indoor spaces too. “It’s a human collection that fits perfectly into natural surroundings”, says Teixidó.
