The Andes house is: Contents, Research, Nobility, Materials Simplicity of doing things.
The Andes house is a Chilean design office We are dedicated to the research of different materials and to design products.
The idea is to mix these local Chilean ingredients with function to create interesting products.
I think the difference is at the level of go deeper in our context, in our origins.
In base of that we have worked with the local people of Chimbarongo, that has everything to do with knitted crafts and techniques subjects, applied directly to the brand Made in Mimbre.
We also have done a similar work with the people of Villarica, all the wood work. We have experimented the matter of metals, cupper and bronze.
We work with a new line of woods such as pine, a very massive wood, very easy to work.
Through these functional objects, to express the richness of certain local materials that can be found only in Chile.
Mix with industrial processes and also craft work
This took us to realize that materials have some values, that we must know how to transmit through shapes
Which are the codes… the wicker is something lighter, that envelopes, the cupper is colder and also has the shine thing,
we try to make some reflections… see how to narrate a work story, that translates itself in the faces of the products we develop.
On the other hand we have a very interesting area which is the “project area”, where we develop exclusive proposals for different clients in different scales.
We’re not just working in product format, furniture or lighting, but also to apply the research that we do in diverse materials in a bigger scale,
to different formats even in interventions at city level.
To participate in the Salone Satellite means to be part of a select group of young designers
and also to know that now is the time of a formal presentation to the design world and to the industry.
I thing is going to be really interesting, this is our fourth participation in these kind of fairs,
for this one we feel more mature in what we want to show and also in what we want to potentiate.
For us is to reaffirm and prove what we have been doing during the last years, we have more clear what we do,
which are our strong points, and how to show them in the best way.
We mainly present three lines, one where we develop a lighting system that are parts and pieces that shape a series of 18 lamps.
We also present a line of wood vases, of which we presented a prototype before but now we bring the final product with a more marketing purpose.
And also we take an experimental piece where we already have been working on based of cupper
but this time mixing with other material always in the area of metals, as bonze.
I think we’re going with a previous recognizing, consolidated and people are very excited and want to see us.
In other words people already have their eyes on us, so we’re going very prepared to see what happens.
