LET US EMBRACE YOU
THE CORE OF OUR NEW COLLECTION
At LINTELOO, we embrace you and your loved ones with timeless, innovative designs, that simply ooze comfort and joy. Warm and inviting, beautiful to the eye and to the soul, each the result of a perfect combination of top-designers and master craftsmen. This year, LINTELOO’s presentation at the Salone featured 9 new designs by 5 renowned designers: Sebastian Herkner, Anthony Guerrée, Yabu Pushelberg, Sjoerd Vroonland and our founder, Jan te Lintelo. Each design in its own, unique way embodies the ideas behind our ‘embrace’ theme, in the broadest sense of the word. Whether it is the way different shapes or materials interconnect, or the interplay between these beautiful objects and the way in which you wish to live your life.
MIAMI - by Jan te Lintelo
‘No man is an island.’ In 1624, poet John Donne needed just five words to capture the essence of human existence. And living together is enjoying life together. Jan te Lintelo, designer and founder of LINTELOO, has truly made ‘joy’ his raison d’être. For him, joy is all about feeling at ease, about comfort, about sharing your space—and time—with those you love, doing the things you love. So, on our ‘Miami’ sofa’s ‘island’, you hug your kids, you step into the lives of your book’s heroes, you join that live concert in Barcelona thanks to your ear phones, and you Zoom across the world, meeting new friends in far-away places. ‘Miami’—both the city and this sofa—is simply the perfect place to relax, chill out and embrace life.
ICARUS - by Sebastian Herkner
With its strong architectural shape, Sebastian Herkner’s ‘Icarus’ design definitely makes a statement. But sit in either the armchair or the two different dining chairs and you will find that ‘comfy and cozy’ does not always have to mean ‘plump and puffy’. Because ‘Icarus’ and its wings will give you an inviting and reassuring hug. ‘Icarus’ envelops you in exquisitely tailored upholstery, following and underlining the design’s interesting bends. Opting for wooden legs, will give an ‘Icarus’ dining chair a more airy feel. Go for the closed sides, similar to the armchair’s undercarriage, and ‘Icarus’ instantly comes down to earth. Not with a thud, as its mythological namesake, but gently, elegantly and gracefully. Foam in various densities covers the steel and/or wooden frame, providing both comfort and support in equal measures.
GILBERT - by Sebastian Herkner
Following last year’s presentation of Sebastian Herkner’s ‘Gilbert’ sofa, the 2023 Salone del Mobile in Milan, Italy, is the platform on which LINTELOO launches the ‘Gilbert’ bed, only the second bed in our collection since LINTELOO’s inception in 1993. We are so excited about this, it is completely tiring us out. If only we had a comfortable place to rest our weary heads… After his voluptuous ‘Arp’ sofa and armchair, ingenious ‘Terrace’ coffee and side tables and architectural ‘Icarus’ armchair and dining chairs, Sebastian’s bed has a geometric, even cubist feel. Of course, it links to the ‘Gilbert’ sofa and is equally reminiscent of the Tetris computer game: building blocks, with simple shapes, that carefully slot into each other, allowing the player a unique sense of creativity. The visible separation of the various ‘blocks’ has become a strong design feature of the bed. This way, the two individual head boards, for instance, become a decorative element in itself, not simply a vertical “slab” against the wall. Invisible legs, which make ‘Gilbert’ appear to float, add to the airiness achieved by the varied gaps between the headboards. Seen from the back, the effect is simply striking. So, this bed, thanks to its beautiful ‘backside’, would also work extremely well as a freestanding element in your bedroom.
CLAMP - by Sjoerd Vroonland
The theme ‘Embrace’ is central to Sjoerd Vroonland's 'Clamp'. In 2022, the master of innovative constructions designed the series of side and coffee tables, to which a 'Clamp' nightstand will be added this year. Inside the metal frame lies a top made of marble with a walnut wood 'canopy' under which - or on top of which - your valuables can find their place at night. Sjoerd loves to see and to show how one material grabs hold of the other. So the metal embrace leaves the clamp, which gave ‘Clamp’ its name, in plain sight. The combination of one of the three types of marble and walnut wood - sourced as much as possible from leftover pieces, thus sustainable – is selected by you. Be your own designer!
ALTER - by Anthony Guerrée
At first glance, the ALTER table is a ‘simple’ design. And then, suddenly, your eye is caught by those subtle details that lift this practical table up: the way the oak veneer criss-crosses the top, that playful indentation in the conical leg, the interesting overall shape that allows for multiple placements. Recently, French designer Anthony Guerrée added two alternative tabletop options to his ALTER designs. Both are square, rather than the rectangular original ALTER. One has a tabletop with the same playful outline as the rectangular version: two rounded corners and two squared off corners. The other sees all four corners rounded off, in such a gently arching way that this version has the same effect a round table has: if needed, you can seat more people than you would usually do.
ICARUS - by Sebastian Herkner
With its strong architectural shape, Sebastian Herkner’s ‘Icarus’ design definitely makes a statement. But sit in either the armchair or the two different dining chairs and you will find that ‘comfy and cozy’ does not always have to mean ‘plump and puffy’. Because ‘Icarus’ and its wings will give you an inviting and reassuring hug. ‘Icarus’ envelops you in exquisitely tailored upholstery, following and underlining the design’s interesting bends. Opting for wooden legs, will give an ‘Icarus’ dining chair a more airy feel. Go for the closed sides, similar to the armchair’s undercarriage, and ‘Icarus’ instantly comes down to earth. Not with a thud, as its mythological namesake, but gently, elegantly and gracefully. Foam in various densities covers the steel and/or wooden frame, providing both comfort and support in equal measures.
OISEAU - by Yabu Pushelberg
From its studios in Toronto and New York, Yabu Pushelberg—the globally renowned interior architecture and design practice, set up by George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg—is probably best known for its high-end residential, hospitality and retail design. A lesser known fact may be that the company not only designs interiors, but also the furniture and objects that go along with them. Their pieces excel in an amazing attention to detail, with a tailored look that transcends any trend. As George Yabu puts it: ‘There is a certain kind of design that burns very bright, but the flame goes out fast. We like to think our designs have more longevity, and a broader range of uses.’ Well, we could not agree more. Take for instance the youngest fledgling from the ‘Oiseau’ nest: this completely unostentatious yet utterly stylish bar stool. Delicate, airy, timeless, made of solid ash and set to become another Yabu Pushelberg classic, for sure. Same as its ‘Oiseau’ brothers and sisters—a dining table, chair and bench—, this barstool is available in a range of (seating) heights, that allow for a highly individual take on living and dining (or drinking, for that matter).
CROSS - by Anthony Guerrée
If ever ‘crossing your legs’ was taken literally, it is in this powerful design by French designer Anthony Guerrée. The names of all of his designs for LINTELOO, suggest an act of movement, and ‘Cross’ is no different. But Anthony also plays with the ambiguity of the word: the marble tabletop is dissected by a cross of textured oak. It is a recurring feature of Anthony’s designs: joining different, possibly even—at first glance—conflicting materials, shapes and textures into one, seemingly effortless whole. The two tripod sets of solid wood legs create an interesting rhythm, which changes according to the angle in which you see the table. A beautiful concept, but also highly functional in the way it offers complete stability to the marble top. The perfect geometry of the oak cross running through that top, is softened by the rounded corners. This table is all about balance: straight versus round, vegetable versus mineral, textured versus smooth.
EMBRACE - by Anthony Guerrée
For French designer Anthony Guerrée it is all about juxtaposition, the meeting of materials, of shapes, of tradition and innovation. His ‘Embrace’ dining chair embodies this perfectly. Consider, for instance, the option of having the base and the seat/back upholstered in different, contrasting or indeed mutually complementing fabrics and/or leathers. And consider the way in which the ‘folded’, almost oval slice that constitutes the backrest and seat, appears to effortlessly slot into the voluptuous base: two separate elements that appear disassociated, yet come together in a tight embrace. And consider the way in which this fully upholstered chair would be the perfect companion to a wooden table. Though very sculptural in outlook, the ‘Embrace’ is extremely comfortable: the perfect chair for casual dinners with family and friends yet equally suited for a more formal environment.
MALIBU - by Jan te Lintelo
Last year's Salone del Mobile, we introduced Jan te Lintelo's comfortable and elegant 'Malibu' sofa. 'I have always been super satisfied with the 'Hamptons' sofa: sleek, yet relaxed and incredibly comfortable. We wanted to keep those qualities and connect them with a slightly more luxurious look. By adding an elegant frame with such subtly lined legs that the sofa almost seems to float, you create that difference.' This year, we are introducing table elements for the 'Malibu' sofa with the same sleek lines. For example, choose an 'arm table' instead of an armrest, one of the 'trays' to place your drink within arms reach, or a luxurious marble top instead of a seat cushion. The options are endless.
