'Luminous, generous and comfortable': Maria Fabiola Frénoy sees the 2009 collection of Artelano as an anti-crisis antidote that gets back to the basics of the brand name. Best sellers are out front and presented in extended ranges that anticipate all the needs of users. Aregarding the work at hiome departmnent, a series storage units fills out a more functional version of the 'Big Boss' desk and the very surprising "Cublo libre" concept appears in the collection.
Big Boss range, design by Marco Zanuso jr (2009). Following on from a glass top 'secretaire' resolution that made the success of the 'Big boss' desk, the range extends to a computer-enabled version that is closer to the functional needs of most users. A bookshelf and storage unit fill out the range for a home-office installation that is both practical and aesthetically pleasing.

Cubo libre desk. Design by Francesc Rife (2009). Playful and functional, 'Cubo libre' is definitely the conversation piece of this collection. Shut, it is a cubic monolith whose only quality is not to take up too much space. Open, it is a fully equipped desk that swings on an impressive hinge to offer all the usual services expected of a home-office desk, even doubling as a seat-on-multi-directional wheels. A 'compact concept', all in, 'Cubo libre' will be on the market in two sizes next June.
