When it comes to furnishing our homes, we are looking for something more than mere decorative elements. We are looking for objects which will stand the test of time and not go out of style. These kinds of products are defined as icons, which means that they have been designed for everyday use, but feature a one-of-a-kind and timeless appeal.
LAGO sets itself apart with its revolutionary take on design. Its mission is to radically transform living spaces and inspire a new way of experiencing the home. Each product is the result of innovative ideas and constant research into solutions which can improve the quality of life inside our domestic spaces.
Eight design icons from LAGO
In this article, we will introduce you to eight products which embody LAGO’s excellence and innovation. The eight icons have not only become part of the Italian collective imagination, but have taken up a leading role at a global level. They are symbols of style and functionality which are capable of turning the home’s rooms into unique and welcoming spaces.
LAGO, a global design leader
LAGO is not only a furniture brand, but a genuine leader in the world of interior design. Its icons are the proof of its constant commitment to innovation and excellence, establishing it as a leader in the sector and leaving an indelible mark on the world of designer furniture.
Air Table
Air is a surprising and magical table which appears to literally be floating in mid-air. Volumes and supports swap roles in this piece: the lightness of the two transparent glass supports contrast with the monolithic and chunky table top which appears to be hovering. Air’s clear strength lies in its versatility thanks to the countless aesthetic and formal variants of the tops and legs. In addition to the incredible Wildwood, it is also available in glass, lacquered, and XGlass marble or metal. Air is a table which furnishes an entire space on its own.
Fluttua Bed
As its Italian name suggests (fluttuare means float), Fluttua is a bed which seems to levitate. LAGO has once again paired lightness to wonder. The HPL bed base is fastened to the wall and supported thanks to a central metal support placed on the floor which is adjustable in height and completely invisible. Moreover, this setup also makes it easy to clean under the bed. Fluttua defies gravity like a magic trick. Round or rectangular, Fluttua can be equipped with various headboard models.
36e8 Glass Sideboard
Solid, captivating and versatile, the 36e8 GLASS sideboard is an evolution of the traditional piece of furniture which acted as a storage unit. It is a piece which plays with see-through and closed elements and surprises us with its balanced mix of materials and the flexibility of its volumes. As with many LAGO products, the 36e8 Glass sideboard is extremely modular and capable of fitting into any room in the home. To decorate the sideboard, it is possible to use all the materials in the LAGO catalog—from Wildwood to XGlass which faithfully reproduces marble, metallic, wood, and fabric finishings.
N.O.W. Sideboard
A small piece of elegant architecture with unique and innovative aesthetic and constructive touches, the N.O.W. sideboard uses a revolutionary, patented opening system which makes use of both the elasticity and durability of spring steel and offers a door which can be opened with a gentle press. Whether you desire a small unit against the wall or in the center of the room or a wall hanging unit, N.O.W. can be set up in any way. Plus, it comes in countless color schemes thanks to the many finishes available in LAGO’s catalog.
36e8 Kitchen
The 36e8 kitchen is a pure concentration of aesthetics and functionality. With this kitchen model, LAGO was one of the first companies in the world to develop the idea of the suspended kitchen, finding innovative construction solutions and producing cutting-edge materials. Tailor-made thanks to its squared module, it offers one-of-a-kind compositional versatility in an island, peninsula and linear version.
N.O.W. Wardrobe
N.O.W. is the wardrobe par excellence. It is a modular architectural piece which becomes part of the room and almost vanishes from sight thanks to its smooth, handle-less surface. Its name is an acronym for “Not Only White” and makes a clear statement with regards to the use of color. The various panels are customizable in a wide color range with matte and glossy options. Moreover, the panels use the patented opening system just like the sideboards.
Air Bookcase
Free from all constraints and free to grow, Air is the bookcase which discretely and casually inserts itself in the room. Its structure is a veritable puzzle held up by elements like transparent glass and shelves whose full volumes contrast with the piece’s lightness. Air can be set up in ever-changing compositions on the wall or in the center of the room in large or small sizes, gracefully defining the rooms of the home. The glass partition is fastened to the shelves or containers which are available in various striking colors and materials.
Air Sofa
A superior level of modularity, lightness, and versatility characterize the Air seating system. The seats are floating platforms where softness and purity combine with visual lightness to offer endless compositional freedom. Thanks to a patented coupling mechanism, LAGO has made it easy and immediate to put together or reconfigure the compositions into single or multiple seats. Lightness is a common thread which runs through all of LAGO’s production, and on the Air sofa it has been entrusted to a transparent glass partition which is used to support the seats.
