Ipe Cavalli

The Ipe furniture brand is one of the only brands which i found on the mayde website that i could easily find a homepage for.

The Streamlined Collection is designed for the contemporary house... A design and interior decoration project... that evolves further by creating a big family of the “Sensitive Items”. An abacus of... soft, fascinating, feminine, familar items... made of signs, materials and colours deriving from the variegated book of the living memory, wich traces down to atmospheres of a more or less distant past.

In this way the house becomes a place to be interpreted following one's own flair and sensitivity, experiencing different kind of juxtapositions, creating very charming domestic furnishings... The items of the Streamlined Collection represent a “sensible abacus” that let coexist both our memories and dream

The charm of a royal palace, the magical appeal of the night: Visionnaire begins with the dignity of an ancient gate that opens onto an unusual world. The dark inspirations, the esoteric references, and a few decorative elements interpreted in every possible variable recur as the strong elements of the Visionnaire style. Visionnaire is the dream of a world that expresses a nearly-Baroque decorative quest, the excellence of form, and the sophistication of materials.

Black and white close the circle: in the perfection of their symmetry, they explain the attaction of opposites, dark and light, night and day. White Gothic also designs interiors following an absolutely personal, is a dream of the opposite, in wich mystery and the night seem to find some peace in the milky glare of the day... but it's only an impression, this time is not that of reality.
