Hands on – Christian Haas

Solo debut of designer Christian Haas in New York, February 2023. Entitled HANDS ON 15 objects by the German designer were shown at 180 the Store in the TriBeCa district – including the PORTAO stool and the FONTE table lamp he designed for favius. An exhibition that shows the spectrum of Christian Haas and his strength – the harmony between elegance and simplicity, form and function, modernity and timelessness.

The genesis of the table light FLAKES by Hanne Willmann

The designer Hanne Willmann was inspired in her design of the table light FLAKES by a visit to the oldest glass manufactory in the Bavarian Forest. Captivated by the art of glassblowing and the different processing methods she developed the table light FLAKES form the traditional technique of scattering individual grains of coloured glass onto transparent glass. She brings this technique into a straightforward form, playing with transparency and opacity to create a poetic design.

New: Stool PORTAO by Christian Haas

PORTAO by Christian Haas is a stool with a distinct sculptural appearance. Its nuanced design centers on the shape, making the stool an object with a strong character. The monolithic appearance of the piece is underlined by the use of solid oak processed to a high standard. The tapered stool legs as well as the seat are significantly rounded on the front sides, giving a pleasant feeling of softness and offering comfortable seating. PORTAO convinces with its presence in a room, it can also be used as a side table and is available in oiled or black stained oak.

The stool PORTAO is available in stores from may 2021.

New: Floor light FUNGI by Hanne Willmann

With the floor light FUNGI, designer Hanne Willmann has created an impressive lighting object. In her design, she combines the beauty of hand-blown glass with handmade ceramics and stages them in new and striking forms. The imposing lampshade attests to the extraordinary skill of the glassmaker while its steel grey transparency reveals the refined ceramic base. The designer has given this intricately designed luminaire base an unmistakable, wave-like appearance. The dimmable light source is embedded in it and thus provides for individual lighting moods. The elegant floor light FUNGI reflects the unique style of Hanne Willmann and is available in three ceramic colours: warm beige, orange red and black.

The floor light FUNGI is available in stores from may 2021.

Review – favius at imm cologne 2020

At the imm cologne 2020 favius presented two striking novelties: A hand-blown table light FLAKES by Hanne Willmann as well as a side and coffee table SEDIMENT by Studio Besau-Marguerre. Both novelties underline the design brand’s philosophy: the dedication to traditional craftsmanship as well as a design language, which moves between art and architecture.

Also, the open and architectural exhibition design by Studio Besau-Marguerre takes up favius’ philosophy. The interdisciplinary design office structures the favius stand with its four open sides with the use of ceiling high curtains that are printed on both sides with spatial motifs into the areas new releases, living, sales and shop presentation. The two colours cognac and dark green, which are used on the curtains and pedestals, create two elegant colour worlds. These help to transport a sophisticated atmosphere and lend the stand an abstract spatial structure. A clear focus is put on the novelties which are staged on pedestals as a presentation area. The curtains as well as the use of pedestals in different heights create intriguing perspectives and offer an exciting stage for the strong favius collection.
