Oasi, the design collection where the finest italian tradition meets a passion for beauty - Cantori

Craftsmanship, attention to detail, and first choice materials: this is Cantori's DNA, which can be found in the new furnishings designed by Maurizio Manzoni

Innovation, tradition, and the pursuit of beauty: these are the characteristics that for 45 years have made Cantori an Italian excellence in the field of furniture-makers, qualities that have allowed the company to reach its second generation, with products that look to the future while preserving their identity well-rooted in local traditions and the art of hand-crafting. This is demonstrated by the Oasi collection, designed by the designer Maurizio Manzoni, through which the company returns to its origins with the use of wrought iron, in a contemporary key. Precisely the traditional elements that made the company from Le Marche great are now rediscovered and reinterpreted, to fit into new projects with its original character.

This can be seen in the case of the large modular sofa, the sideboard, the chair, and the cabinet. Combined with handcrafted forged metal and minimalist design, it allows the furnishings to be placed in any context of the house, in perfect harmony with contemporary lifestyles.

The collection, as Manzoni confirms, finds its inspiration in the identity of the company: “often we have to build history ourselves. In Cantori's case, it was already there. We started with wrought iron, an element that had been lost to time". This element, forged in an "S" shape, becomes a distinctive sign, clearly visible in the structure of the individual elements, whether it is the sofa, the bed, the chair, or the buffet handle, carefully studied and created starting from a 3D model.

The main feature and fil-rouge of the entire Oasi collection is an asymmetry that manifests itself in the processing of solids and voids that chase each other: "depending on your perspective, the look is always different". Here Cantori products, seen through the designer's lens, take on an almost sinuous appearance: “all the pieces of furniture have something soft and enveloping, a reference to the world of fashion, or other elements such as a belt, or a ring in which a diamond is set. The metal base of the Oasi, for me, is the ring in which the piece of furniture is inserted".

This is how a series of timeless furnishings, destined to last for style and excellent workmanship, are born. The first to be designed, in the Oasi family, was the sideboard: characterized by a skillful combination of matt lacquered wood, metal, and a patinated bronze finish. The result is as balanced as it is compact. Suspended on an elegant metal support, the container has curved wooden sides.

The Oasi Cabinet follows, which incorporates the use of wood and iron, and exhibits metal bands that embrace the perimeter, defining the volume of the piece of furniture. The same attention to detail can be found in the table, which stands out for its elliptical shape and for the peculiar look of its support which, with the alternation of solids and voids, almost seems to be the stand for a work of art.

Finally, the sofa is presented as a modular system made up of different elements. It is extremely versatile, and it allows the creation of different configurations, ranging from the classic corner element to the chaise longue and the pouf. The choice of excellent materials, and craftsmanship destined to last, are clearly showcased starting from the skeleton of the sofa: the internal structure is in beech and poplar plywood, and the springing is guaranteed by non-deformable elastic belts. The cushions have internal layers of different densities and are non-deformable. A laser-cut bronzed metal plate envelops and contains the sofa, decorating and creating a luminous reflection in the upholstery.
