“Origin looks like a simple collection, and it is. In fact, that’s the intention behind its design and is its defining feature because, despite what one may think, simple, straightforward pieces are the most difficult thing to design”, says Mario Ruiz. Faithful to the idea of “less is more” coined by the architect Mies van der Rohe, one of the fathers of modern architecture, the designer demonstrates with a few simple lines that a discreet gesture can go a long way. 

All the pieces in the collection can be stacked, whether they are tables, sofas, loungers, armchairs or chairs. They also fit into different compositions with great ease, creating living, dining and relaxing areas… The dimensions are precise and have been carefully studied so that it is possible to create compositions either for spaces measuring just a few metres or for large areas. These three key elements make Origin a versatile ally both for the home and for contract or hospitality projects. 

The structure of all the pieces is made from powder painted aluminium finished. This material was chosen for its durability and because it is 100% recyclable at the end of its useful life. The surface of the seats and backs of the chairs and loungers is made from texiline and the cushions are upholstered in fabrics with guaranteed resistance against sun exposure. In line with our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we have sought to make Origin a long-lasting collection in terms of both materials and design –beyond ephemeral trends– because without durability there is no sustainability.
