About the collection

The Calibur Collection is an ensemble of dining chairs and a table, each piece an homage to the Arthurian legend.
This collection, rooted deeply in the narrative of chivalry, mystique, and the duality of human nature, is crafted from polished chrome—a material choice inspired by the gleaming armors of knights as portrayed in 1970s and 1980s cinema adaptations of the Arthurian tales.

The legs of each piece are shaped to mimic swords, flowing in a manner reminiscent of French Rococo furniture, yet culminating in pointed tips. This design decision encapsulates the collection’s foundational ethos: the coexistence of beauty with an element of danger, mirroring the Arthurian legend’s own contrasts of love versus war and the intertwining of Christian faith with pagan myths. The surfaces of the Calibur Collection are expansive and mirror-like, designed to reflect not just the physical surroundings but also the depth of the legend itself. These reflective planes are evocative of the mythical lake from the Arthurian myth. Utilizing polished aluminium not only pays homage to the aesthetic inspirations but also offers practical benefits.

The material’s strength enables slender yet robust supports, ensuring structural integrity without sacrificing elegance. The welding points in metal allow for connections that are as strong as they are visually seamless. In the creation of the Calibur Collection, each piece was envisioned to be more than mere furniture; they are artifacts that embody the spirit of a bygone era, bringing into contemporary spaces a touch of the legendary, a reflection of a narrative that has captivated the human imagination for centuries.
