Explore Brutalist Beauty with Elefante Furniture
The Elefante Collection by NONO is close to my heart. This collection, designed to honor the great architects Luis Barragán and Ricardo Legorreta, merges their revolutionary vision with my own passion for redefining beauty in everyday objects. When you look at the majestic coffee table, the sleek console, or the versatile side table, you'll feel that bold simplicity and sophistication that's always guided my work.
These pieces are crafted from solid wood, embodying the ethos of Mexican Modernism with their functional elegance. To me, they're timeless yet contemporary, ready to spark inspiration in any space they inhabit. They represent a delicate interplay of materials, textures, and balance, where the raw beauty of Brutalist design meets the welcoming embrace of modernism.
In each piece, you'll notice the influence of both these movements. The stark geometric lines and forms are a nod to the Brutalist aesthetic, while the intentional use of light and space draws from the principles of Mexican Modernism. Together, they create a blend of art and architecture that explores the convergence of these powerful design philosophies.
The Elefante Collection isn't just furniture to me—it's a declaration of NONO's pursuit of timeless beauty, a celebration of iconic architectural influences, and a tribute to the giants who have paved the way. I hope it inspires you as much as it has inspired me.
