• Poliform presents new collection during Milano design week

    19 June 2012

    During the recent Salone del Mobile 2012, Poliform, available in Hong Kong at ViA stores, presented a wide range of elegant, detailed contemporary design products aimed at meeting the needs of an increasingly international public.

    The Poliform stand featured a single, homogeneous open space with an Asian touch, where Oriental influences combined with modernist architecture; an echo of old Singapore with oversized spaces and exotic plants.

    The modular systems, which have been modified and enhanced by new finishes, define the different living areas, with an interplay of arrangements, where new loose furniture collections, among which the sideboards Pandora designed by Jean–Marie Massaud, the chair Harmony by Rodrigo Torres and the armchair Oskar by Vincent Van Duysen were presented.

    All this has been made possible not only by constant technological research, but also by the creative input of internationally famous designers, who help make the Poliform collection a reference point for various taste categories.
