In a new collaboration for Cassina, the Shanghai based studio founded by Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu design a first collection of accessories to complete the sleeping area.
The Stay collection consists in freestanding furnishing accessories that can be combined to accompany even the most nomadic spirit creating a place to keep one’s belongings in the serenity and refuge of the home.
Created during this unique time of staying at home, Neri&Hu explores notions of domesticity, shelter and the inner sanctum with this debut collection. Functionally, the collection is for the storage of domestic objects, so the name also refers to how clothes and objects “stay” in their storage spaces, drawing a humorous parallel to our current human condition.
The Stay Collection is a tribute to our collective experience of sheltering (including objects) and, as the world around us feels increasingly unstable, the home is a resilient source of comfort and stability.
The Stay Screen is characterised by its elegant double finish: the interior is available in Canaletto walnut, ash wood stained mocha or stained black ash wood, while the exterior is lacquered in a choice of eight colour variations. The screen is made up of three panels joined by gun metal or bronze hinges that allow the piece to fully close inwards.
Stay Screen is perfect not only to create private partitions, but also to hang items thanks to the accessories that can be attached to the screws on the top of the screen’s panel. These consist in one high and one low gun metal or bronze hook, a long mirror with a pressed internal frame and a round mirror, that can be combined with the vanity table, with the same pressed internal frame.
Materials:
- metal accessories and hinges in gun metal or bronze;
- lower and upper part of the panel frame in solid Canaletto walnut, ash wood stained mocha or stained black ash wood;
- structure in veneered wood in the same essence as the frame;
- exterior panel matt lacquered in black, burgundy, China red, midnight blue, marron glace, comfort beige, sage green or petroleum green.
