altreforme presents ‘Mata & Grifo’

Designed by Antonio Aricò and Elena Salmistraro

As you enter Browns East this month, say ciao to Princess Mata and Warrior Grifone who have taken over the entrance.

A Sicilian love story brought to life by altreforme, a truly innovative Italian furniture design collective. Antonio Aricò and Elena Salmistraro have realised the beautiful Princess and proud Warrior in reworked aluminium to pay tribute to those who founded the city of Messina.

Offering “furniture with WOW-effect”, the collective create made-to-measure products that are as functional as they are aesthetically pleasing to enhance any space they inhabit. And ‘Mata & Grifo’ are no exception.

The brain child of luxury car experts Fontana Group applies the same non-polluting processes used by the likes of Ferrari and Rolls Royce to its furniture. Each aluminium piece is 100% recyclable and sustainable, so you can be safe in the knowledge that the creation of these cabinets has had zero impact on the environment.

Just as Mata captured Grifone’s heart, the vibrant, whimsical personality of altreforme’s work will capture yours.

‘Mata & Grifo’ will be in Browns East’s entrance from 13th August until 11th September 2019. The cabinets are available to purchase so please inquire in store for more details.
