Pianca Furniture draws upon traditional local craft, channelling over 500 years of carpentry along the banks of the Pianca stream. Building on its strong history, Pianca combines experience and innovation to bring the culture of modern design to the world. The Limbo sofa system is designed in light, malleable polystyrene, free of all fixed and rigid structures. Dynamic and youthful, it creates unexpected, informal living solutions. It is available in easily-combined units using zips and hooks. The Limbo is modern and playful with playful contrasts between colors and volumes. The Spazioteca unit goes well beyond the expectations of a bookcase. Whether wall mounted or free standing, its versatility makes it ideal for any environment. It is available with lacquered fronts, see-through sliding doors and can be combined with Spazio modules allowing for endless possibilities. Spazioteca provides storage with style. The Abaco Coffee Table pairs perfectly with these pieces, offering versatility and function. Its metal structure is available in matte white or black lacquer, as well as a chrome base. The collection comes in 28 colors, including brushed steel. The Abaco comes in three different dimensions for the ultimate versatility.

Pianca Furniture draws upon traditional local craft, channelling over 500 years of carpentry along the banks of the Pianca stream. Building on its strong history, Pianca combines experience and innovation to bring the culture of modern design to the world. The Confluence Table is a modern and bold choice for your dining room. Experimentation on metal, which has always characterized Lust’s work, encounters Pianca’s experience in woodworking, giving life to a fluid and organic structure. The steel structure is sinuous thanks to its curves, and at the same time dynamic, giving the impression of having maintained the malleable consistency of the molding process the material underwent. With a fluid movement, the steel legs converge, supporting the top, which seems to levitate. The myriad of finishings allows the tables – rectangular, round and elliptical – to adapt to different styles. Spazio Pianca modules offer full creative freedom and spectacular impact. Peerlessly handsome solutions that exploit the interplay of solids and spaces; wall-hanging or free-standing storage elements, creating plucky, modern graphic images. A personal lifestyle that knows how to stay one step ahead of the latest trends.

Accoya was selected as the ideal material for this breathtaking home in West Vancouver. Accoya was used for the railing, siding, fencing and soffits throughout the property. In addition, an Accoya handrail was specifically custom designed by Upper Canada Forest Products. Design Duo Matt McLeod and Lisa Bovell of McLeod Bovell Modern houses switched between fluidity, plasticity, malleability and even volumetric design to try capture their process of space-making. Unlike anything surrounding it, this home’s irregular shape and atypical residential building materials are more akin to modern-day South American projects that stem from their surroundings to showcase concrete’s versatility. This is why the Accoya was left in its rough state, to accentuate the minimalist and harmonious aesthetics of its natural environment. Photo Credit: Martin Tessler
