Second Skin Chair by Quinze & Milan (2010)
What makes a chair a chair? What distinguishes it from a stool,
a sofa or a bench for that matter? For Second Skin, Quinze & Milan
stripped down the notorious easy chair from all unneccesary frills,
until they were left with nothing but its core, the bones.
Given the deconstructed chair and keeping in mind traditional
upholstering in leather, they then started playing – the result
being a comfortable chair reflecting a 21st-century interpretation
of time-honoured craftmanship.
A strikingly simple framework, created from massive lacquered oak,
supports a generous piece of leather skin which is wedged between
the back and arm rests. Each chair is constucted by hand and
totally unique, due to the variety in cut-outs of big pieces of
leather and the way they are draped around the framework. The wink
to fashion should be obvious, as well as the reasoning behind its
name - although apart from leather, there is also the option of
upholstering the chair in the desired colour of fabric Divina by
Kvadrat. If desired, up to 5 layers of (contrasting) leather or
fabric can be applied to one chair.

Built to Resi(s)t by Quinze & Milan + EASTPAK (2010)
For the first time ever, EASTPAK joined forces with a furniture
design label, launching a range of exclusively upholstered lounge
seats. Called ‘BUILT TO RESI(S)T’, the product line combines
abstract QUINZE & MILAN shapes with authentic EASTPAK product
characteristics, including bags, zippers, handles, colorful strong
fabrics and popular prints. The result is a fashionable collection
of strong seats with a brave, distinctive look that will blend
into any contemporary setting.
By creating functional and genuine designs for a relaxed lifestyle,
QUINZE & MILAN and EASTPAK are both renowned over the world, famed
for their unique products, toughness & functionality. Art, music,
fashion, life experiences and the dynamics of a constantly changing
visual culture are their main inspiration when bringing products
to the market that wow the crowd.
As great minds think alike, QUINZE & MILAN meets EASTPAK in a
contemporary special edition furniture collection, resulting from
a successful cross-disciplinary collaboration between both in-house
creative teams. Various pockets are incorporated onto the seats
and provide storage for your books, magazines, reading glasses,
laptop, iPod®, headset, remote control... Whatever you can think
of can now simply be pocketed in your sofa!

The World Is Flat - Installation by Antoine Peters (NL)
Fashion designer Antoine Peters presents an interactive installation called
‘The World is Flat’, featuring customised seating objects for Quinze & Milan
x EASTPAK’s Built to Resi(s)t collection, and a collection of special accessories.
About Antoine Peters
Antoine Peters graduated cum laude at the Art Academy in Arnhem as well at the
master course Fashion Institute Arnhem and has working working experience at
Viktor&Rolf. Known for his A SWEATER FOR THE WORLD! project, a 2-person sweater
with the goal to photograph as many ‘different kind of people’ as possible inside
it, in a few years the fanatical football player gathered even more reputation
with his pop-culture inspired designs and drew attention of the international
press. He is covered as one of the world’s hundred most innovative young
designers in the ‘100 new fashion designers’ book by Hywel Davies and he
proudly designed the volunteer costumes for the recent Arnhem Fashion Biennial.
Peters’ work is known because of his conceptual, layered and innovative style
and is praised because if its optimism, playfulness and renewing form of el-
egance. More serious matter is brought in a light manner, with the arising of
a new unbiased perspective as a result. His work brings airiness by means of
concept, but also literally in the clothing and installations itself.
ANTOINE PETERS stands for ‘One size fits all elegance’.
Bringing together the best of ‘casual’ and ‘sophistication’.
ANTOINE PETERS wants to spread a smile. www.antoinepeters.com Photography: Antoine Peters Studio
Quinze & Milan - The Quartz Chair is back at home, updated!
Quinze & Milan tackles geometry once again, and has furthered its work on forms
and faceting, seeking new effects from the wood and creating a chair whose design
is a combination of the past and future.
Using the most classic of materials, Quinze & Milan has successfully made an
object with a symbolic shape in which the material gains qualities of luminosity.
Quartz is an object of the future that retains the intrinsic value of wood – strong
and hard-wearing, comfortable and basic.
“We wanted to give the material a different look without however ignoring its natural
qualities. The facets give a dynamic and vibrant appeal, while the surface plays
with the light, creating a sparkling effect. Just like quartz.”
Quartz Chair is now available in different wood finishings.

.MGX by Materialise is excited to be
taking part in Superieur! As the world-
leader in 3D printing technologies,
.MGX invites you to come and see not
only their unique collection of award-
winning lamps and furniture but also
the ease with which .MGX pieces can be
customized for all types of interior
design and architecture projects.
“At .MGX we understand that life
isn’t always easy. In our daily
lives we tend to get caught up in
getting things done and being
efficient, rather than just ‘being’.
That’s why we challenged some of the
top design minds in the world to use
our very special 3D technologies to
create some very special products.
Lamps and furniture that can brighten
a room, or furnish a house, but that
also soothe the soul and engage both
the imagination and the senses.
Products that create a magical
atmosphere for connecting with
yourself or connecting with friends.”
.MGX by Materialise - Belgium
Manufactured using a variety of 3D
printing methods, the .MGX by
Materialise collection combines
the best of modern and traditional
craftsmanship. Our 3D technologies
allow for the production of shapes
that would otherwise be impossible
to realise. And whether you are
interested in an item from our
collection, or a customisation for
an interior project, each .MGX piece
is individually drawn and created
by laser beam, and carefully finished
by hand.

Quinze & Milan blows out the candles!
Based in Kortrijk, Belgium, Quinze & Milan is celebrating its
10th anniversary this year as a young, energetic manufacturer
of innovative, playful and functional seating, furniture and
accessories. Beginning with its wildly successful Primary Pouf 01,
a block of brightly coloured foam on four legs in a variety of
sizes, the company has expanded from its early focus on foam to
work with materials spanning fabrics, wood and steel to PE and
even concrete. Its popular production pieces, designed by Scott
Wilson, Marc Thorpe, Clive Wilkinson, Wiel Arets, Gitta Gschwendtner
and others, join custom and limited edition works created by and
for Jürgen Mayer H., Tord Boontje and such high-profile projects
as OMA/ Rem Koolhaas’s Seattle Public Library and others.
Quinze & Milan is not a typical furniture label but an avant-garde
platform for collaborations, a think tank and factory for ideas,
designs, visual culture, concepts and experiments. It’s this
approach that made the brand turn into a successful label that
guarantees rock ‘n roll, creativity, comfort, quality, excitement
and ingenuity!
During INTERIEUR 2010, Quinze & Milan celebrates its 10th anniversary
with a special private party, featuring DJ sets and special gigs by
Belgian Electro-Pop band Vive La Fête. Check out page 8 to win tix!
