Meta Launch
16th April - 21st April \08
Officine Fiorentini, Via Savona 35 Milan, Italy
The European launch of a new company, Meta, at the Salone Del Mobile 2008, celebrates the culmination of three years of intensive preparation and a unique collaboration among five designers, Barber Osgerby, Tord Boontje, Matali Crasset, Wales and Wales and Asymptote, alongside a select team of master-craftsmen.
Each Meta designer has worked with expert artisans who have offered their skills and know-how to realise each designer’s extraordinary vision. The outcome is the antithesis of machine-age production, a collection of objects and furniture of unquestioned quality working with covetable and often rare materials, which reveal upon further examination the stories of their making.
Meta is the genesis of Mallet of Bond Street, London, one of the world's preeminent antique houses.
