Targa // Gebruther Thonet Wien — GAMFRATESI

Gebruder Thonet Vienna

Targa

A project that combines the comfort of a full-upholstered furniture with a sophisticate bend wood structure. The upholstered part is simply supported by the wooden frame, while the Vienna woven cane is fixed to the structure in the upper part, creating a small screen. This combination creates an elegant effect where textile and cane meet, similar to the aesthetic of a semi-convertible car style.

GamFratesi was invited by Gebruder Thonet Vienna to create a small collection that reflected the clear tradition of bending wood and woven cane, but with contemporary aestethic and proportions. The result is a sofa, chair and small writing desk. The collection as been presented during the Salone del Mobile in Milan 2015.

The Targa sofa was winner of the EDIDA - Elle Decor International Design Award as Best Furniture of the year in 2016

TARGA is a family consisting of an elegant two-seater (160 cm) or three-seater (200 cm) sofa, an armchair and a pouf, four elements which perfectly fit contract spaces designed for an intimate and secluded atmosphere, as well as non-conventional residential environments. All elements of the brand’s tradition contribute to characterize the design’s profile: the bent beech structure holds the wide seat cushion and the upholstered backrest has a woven cane edge with an ellipsoidal element, the plate (targa), after which the design is named. Also available with brass feet, in line with the latest interior design trends marking a return to the metal – one which can provide appeal to stylish contemporary furniture projects.
