3 Armchairs, 1 Gesture for 1 Mission. Zero is possible.

3 special armchairs produced as a limited, numbered edition. 1 mission, to zero infant mortality worldwide. 1 special gesture, like the Archibald 2011 Special Edition Armchairs, 1 concrete aid to UNICEF for the development of the Believe in Zero project, Zero is possible. 

Archibald 2011 Special Edition. Elegance and Perfection between the sky and the ground.

3 armchairs, 3 colours, 3 upholsteries exalting in the capacity of Poltrona Frau know- how. Nuances expressing a love for the natural material and sought- after detail. The totally white leather armchair is both exquisite and poetic like the white snowflake. For the high armchair with leather and velvet pouf the materials are deep and immense as the blue of the clam sea. As for the ram leather armchair it depicts the warmth and honesty of the land that has just been sown.

The enveloping design is exalted by the free play of softness created by the upholstery over the entire interior of the backrest, making it pleasantly undulating and welcoming. Artisan mastery and precious contrast stitching give a note of refined elegance. Every detail of the construction has been executed with care and attention to ensure a generous, comfortable seating experience. The backrest and seat frame is in steel with polyurethane foam padding, moulded, with polyester wadding in the zones where more comfort is needed. Suspension is provided by elastic strips. The base is made up of four cast aluminium feet with a tubular steel frame in a gunmetal grey and white lacquered finish.

3 Programs. 1 Mission. Zero is possible.

Believe in Zero. We want Zero. Every day we can potentially offer 22 000 children a better life. It is about helping children living in areas of poverty that are left behind in the race of life. Mosquito nets especially treated to keep insects away, vaccination doses against polio, measles and tetanus and anti- parasite treatments to protect the children from intestine diseases can save precious lives. Zero is possible. Each Archibald 2011 Special Edition armchair is associated with one of these 3 types of interventions.

Each example of the Archibald Special Edition is unique and unrepeatable, marked by a gunmetal plate, customized with the name of the model and the sequential number, further stressing the exclusive nature of this exceptional item of furniture, designed specifically for those who see furnishing choices as a value to be handed down over time and for those who, by making an aware purchase wish to help the lives of others.

Bimax

BIMAX

Bimax represents an experience of life as well as contributing towards the trend of a pleasant home. Bimax achieves this by giving a variety of proposals in order to gather all environments and pull them together with a simple and elegant mood capable of being sober and transversal. Bimax does not impose a style but rather allows the individual the possibility of venturing in his desires and renders them visible. 

Bimax – The Green Soul Environment

Bimax introduces the world to Biorovere. Bimax has taken the art of cabinet- making to a new level where they have taken the deep grain, the reassuring tones of real wood, the spirit and heart of oak wood and left the earth with its beauty.

Bimax has also adjusted the way in which they produce their lacquered products. Hydroline is an advanced technological system which uses water solvents in the lacquering process, this way reducing the environmental impact in a remarkable way. This ensures great benefits to the entire production of the range. The Hydroline technology guarantees results of high performance on the quality of the lacquering, both mat and gloss. Bimax does not only allow for the Green Footprint but high quality finishes as well. The lacquering process foresees a coating of high gloss lacquer subsequently buffed thus rendering the surface perfectly smooth. This process requires more time, effort, advanced technologies and skilled labour but produces a product no other can offer. The result is a smooth surface, free of impurities and resistant to aging phenomenons and yellowing of the lacquer.  

Bimax offers a wide variety of colour options. The factory has allowed you to truly have the environment you are looking for. With the blends of fabrics, materials, colours and finishes Bimax is the representation of colour coordination. Creating original chromatic combinations, which attribute to a scenic effect to furniture and the home through the use of light and colour. In the “NIKI” range offered by Bimax there are four new Perlage Lacquered colours with a crystallized effect, differentiating Bimax once again from the competition. Living spaces have become areas allowing freedom of expression. The combinations of book shelves and modular elements give these spaces the character they need.
