Antes Design, the Milanese luxury by Antonella Tesei

-

Antes Design is the young Milanese brand founded by Antonella Tesei and dedicated to contemporary luxury interior design, characterised by material and artistic refinement as the result of top-quality artisanal workmanship.

The result is a poetic and well-balanced line of furniture, which brings together essential shapes and a strong graphic imprint combined in various ways to create original textures: authentic miniature architectures, wainscotings, tables, chairs, bureaus, combine slim metal structures with surfaces coated in various wooden essences – a combination that conveys strong emotions and a feeling of warmth and softness.

In addition, among the new pieces signed by Antonella Tesei is a creative interpretation of the mirror, which is read by the designer as a compositional and material element rather than a reflecting surface, while the formal purity, sartorial details, and quiet elegance typical of the Asian furniture which has always inspired this designer underlie the entire collection.

In particular, a careful study of surfaces – which range from the refined essences of natural wood to a richer “fabric-effect”– and a determined graphic imprint characterise the Lamon wainscoting, which is declined in different geometric variations that can be combined to create a strong visual impact; conceived to match the cabinets in the collection, the wainscoting can cover both walls and doors to create environments with a strong coordinated image.

The dinner table Aroon, with its structure in solid Canaletto walnut wood, features a top in single-finish wood or a finish with a suggestive contrasting background: the same solutions are available both for the slightly curved seat and backrest on the Noora chair – entirely made in wood – and for the perfectly round ones on the Eva chair, with metal structure painted in brass, dark bronze, copper, silver or anthracite; the latter also exists in a version with metal backrest and central hole to exalt its perfect geometry.

The dinner table Kanan, which features three wooden elements characterised by different patterns which develop in one single shade of colour, from blue to grey, from black to dove-grey introduces the option of a decisive graphic variation; in the Kanan coffee table, on the other hand, the composition of different elements is expressed by means of the mirror. However, instead of reflecting reality, this mirror contemplates its own material substance and the stains of liquid silver that distinguish it blend in with the natural oxidation processes and generate highly impactful changing patterns.

Moreover, like a slight pause in a melody of pleasantly vivid rhythms, the transparency of the glass surface or the materiality of the Cor-Ten steel top of Ela table inserts itself into the collection. This year, the table is proposed in a rectangular version, with metal legs painted in light brass/bronze/copper/silver/black matt finish or RAL paint; finally, Dot and Virgola are the multi-functional poufs in tubular metal with elegantly textured wooden top.  

In conclusion, Antes Design’s wainscotings, furniture and home décor items become the perfect “added value” for exclusive and contemporary interior living spaces.
