TIEMPO, Designed by JORGE PENSI DESIGN STUDIO, Debuts Exclusively for JANUS et Cie; Modular Lounge Collection Redefines Luxury Teak Furnishings Tiempo, the striking new teak collection designed by architect and designer Jorge Pensi exclusively for JANUS et Cie, delivers sophisticated seating that allures and endures in most any setting. “Tiempo is a dream come true. Jorge Pensi exceeded my expectations, creating a collection that is grand on every level, from style and engineering to functionality,” said JANUS et Cie president and CEO Janice Feldman. The artistry of Tiempo can be found in its sleek architectural design, impeccably crafted from premium solid teak and innovative teak veneer into beautiful geometric angles. The immaculately finished surfaces provide a rich, contemporary backdrop for the extensive choices of more than 200 textiles. These range from velvety solids and vivid stripes to textured florals and patterns. “Our aim is always to excite as many senses as possible,” said Pensi with reference to his Barcelona-based design studio team. “In Tiempo, we got there by challenging the usual logic, using as few resources as possible to create something that is at once exotic and refined, solid with a feeling of lightness.” The legs are made of electro-polished stainless steel with a unique finish for exterior use. The Modules are joined together using a special bracketed leg to create seamless seating ensembles. Assembly requires minimal connector legs, which helps to reduce visual clutter. The Modules and Tables mix and match into endless configurations, and arrangement possibilities range from intimate to expansive. All of these collection details establish Tiempo as a game-changer in the industry. “Tiempo translates as ‘time’ in Spanish,” said Feldman. “Jorge and I hope this seating not only has longevity, but also inspires great moments and memories.” The Tiempo collection, which is designed for indoor and outdoor use, features a Lounge Chair, Right End and Left End Modules which feature teak sides and available with and without soft-close drawers, upholstered Left End and Right End Modules, a Corner Module, a Center Module, a Double Center Module, a Cocktail Table, and an Grande Cocktail Table.
