New Destinations
MAN OF PARTS unveiled new designs at 3daysofdesign in Copenhagen. With each piece evolving from a conversation with its designer and artisans, the new introductions draw inspiration from travel memories.
Highlighted amongst the new releases are the layering Praia da Granja tables by Studio Sebastian Herkner; the playful Via Giulia sofa by Yabu Pushelberg; and the classic Alexander Street Bench by Philippe Malouin.
PRAIA DA GRANJA
By Sebastian Herkner
A preferred summer destination for Europe’s well-heeled travellers, Portugal’s Praia da Granja brings together the best of the coastline. Embraced by rugged cliffs and bordered by seaside promenades, the Praia offers a serene seaside escape. The ocean stairs leading to the Atlantic reflect the wide radius and rippled detail of Sebastian Herkner’s design.
SANDY COVE
By Sebastian Herkner
Composed of jutting sea-cliff footpaths and clapboard houses, the offshore of Newfoundland and Labrador’s Fogo Island is set against a striking coastline. The design of Sebastian Herkner’s gathering place mimics the Cove’s curved geography.
ALEXANDER STREET
Striking an emotional connection for automotive enthusiasts, the Alexander Street design by Philippe Malouin is certain to win a place in future Concours d’Elegance. The perforated leather, lines, and ribs are evocative of the iconic leather seats of sports cars from the 20th century that the designer grew up with on Alexander Street in Montreal. This bench balances nostalgia with modernity.
VIA GIULIA
By Yabu Pushelberg
Beginning with an ivy-draped arch designed by Michelangelo, Via Giulia is a cobbled street in Rome lined end to end with churches and historic palazzo. Often contrasted with the vibrant Via del Corso, this picturesque lane invites a contemplative stroll. Yabu Pushelberg’s design shares the same intention as Michelangelo’s vision for the via—an escape from the rhythms of modern life, creating moments of genuine connection.
FUJI-MICHI
By Yabu Pushelberg
Honcho Street, otherwise known as Fuji-michi, runs through “The Weaving City” of Fujiyoshida, Japan, connecting the capital of the country’s textile industry to Mount Fuji. Yabu Pushelberg’s design is an ode to the woven patterns of traditional Japanese textiles, reworked and magnified.
