Paulo Mendes da Rocha's Paulistano armchair gets an outdoor version at MDW
In 2023, Objekto celebrates its 19th anniversary and, although it is still a new publisher of design pieces and one of the leading manufacturers in France, over the years, the brand has shaken up the creative world and remained unwaveringly faithful to its original intentions: to select and manufacture objects that have added emotional value , made to withstand the passage of time and the fickleness of fashion . In nineteen years, Objekto has built up a collection of truly timeless pieces. This alone proves the relevance of the choices made collectively by the brand’s three founders: Guillaume Leman , Benoît Halbronn and his brother, Matthieu Halbronn , who lives in Brazil and owns Futon Company and Deezign. And this expertise will not be left out of iSalone , during Milan Design Week: the new outdoor version of the Poltrona Paulistano , an iconic piece designed by the famous Brazilian architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha in 1957 for the Clube Paulistano, will be presented at the event as the result of a collaboration between Objekto and Sunbrella® .
