Ora-ito, a name that serves as inspiration ! After breaking it up, this young designer has transformed it to baptize his first collection for Steiner : “Ora-Gami”. A name to which he has added the term “Simplexity”. In other words : “The art of giving apparent simplicity to an object with complex functions”. His armchair in polyurethane (photo), is made from a single sheet, folded and shaped to give the impression that it is in levitation. The coffee table, also based on the Japanese art of folded paper, offers several configurations, while the sofas, behind their rigorous lines, play on comfort with removable cushions. Modularity also found in low-level furniture, providing different kinds of storage. Offerings to be completed by other novelties from the prolific Ora-Ito, from the Laguiole knife to jewellery and chandeliers from Christofle. www.steiner-paris.com et www.ora-ito.com.
