Pergamino starts from a single note: parchment. Goatskin stretched, dried and varnished, matte and warm to the hand. It keeps its veins and shifts slightly in tone from one panel to the next.

1930s Paris already paired it with black lacquer. Pergamino takes up that dialogue between matte and gloss and sets it on the low, rounded volumes of 1970s living rooms, the kind where you sit close to the floor and talk for hours.

Most pieces stand on the same recessed black lacquer plinth. You barely see it. What you see is the line of shadow it leaves underneath, as if the piece were floating slightly above the floor.

The collection

1595 is a collectible design studio founded in Barcelona by Clara Bernard Grimaud and Alexis Grimaud, who design every piece together. Their furniture is made in small numbered editions. Each piece starts from one precise sensation, the way a perfume starts from a note.
