MVSEVM: the real Bauhaus (and more) in the living room.

VAMA presents the MVSEVM selection, bringing into our homes the furniture and accessories created by the great masters of modern design, works that we have only ever appreciated in illustrious museum contexts or in trade publications.

MVSEVM is a prestigious selection of true “Modern Furniture Classics” produced entirely with the “100% Made in Italy” label, faithfully and exclusively made according to the original designs of the most iconic architects and designers of the last century, just to name a few: the same ones who were protagonists of the Bauhaus movement such as Mies Van der Rohe and Marcel Breuer, or other internationally renowned and more recent names, always protagonists of the great modern design movements such as Alvar Aalto.

With MVSEVM, our daily life loses the classic concept of style: the objects in our selection are rightfully as if suspended in time, since in each piece shines a creative and design genius that has fused art, craftsmanship and industry to achieve unparalleled formal, functional and aesthetic results.

A heritage of formal research that has overcome influences, fashions and trends, perfect and always magnificent in any furnishing context, whether antique or contemporary.

MVSEVM

The historical (and avant-garde) shapes of quality,
ergonomics and comfort.

Certified ‘100% Made in Italy’ (registered under No. 456 in the national register of Italian manufacturers), the MVSEVM collection expresses in each piece not only a philological fidelity to the original projects, but the guarantee of sublime workmanship:

– from the special absorption capacity of the seat to the cushion padding, made of treated goose down and cold-foamed polyurethane foam and Dacron;

– from fabrics made of natural fibres and leathers to the anti-corrosion-treated and anchored chrome

– from the noble woods used such as beech, cherry, birch and maple (from eco-sustainable cultivations and treated with non-toxic and non-yellowing paints) to steel, iron and wood (all certified construction materials)

The entire set of information available for each piece purchased demonstrates, documents and certifies conformity with current regulations, the exclusivity of each semi-finished product and the absolute quality of each component.

Designers

Alvar Aalto

(Kuortane, 1898 – Helsinki 1976)

One of the most important modern European architects who signed, built and characterised each of his works with the unmistakable mark of his ‘wave’ (which in Finnish is actually ‘aalto’), appreciated all over the world. From the design of furniture and glass objects to architecture and painting (he was also the author of master plans for Finland and Sweden!), Aalto overcame the rigidity and stasis of architectural rationalism by sculpting the natural materials he impiagnated with undulating lines and surfaces, seeking and finding a formidable connection between building and environment.

Charles Eames

(St. Louis, 1907 – 1978)

An emblematic character who together with his wife and collaborator Ray Eames delivered to design those hedonistic hues and eccentric shapes that still inspire contemporary designers and creatives today: symbolic is his ‘sculptural’ chair, made of moulded plywood, in the shape of a shell with which he won the ‘Organic Design in Home Furnishings’ competition in 1940. Although his work is characterised by a pronounced flair, the elements that construct his work never came from art circles.

Charles Mackintosh

(Glasgow, 1868 – London, 1928)

A creative figure active in the sphere of architecture and design, who indelibly marked the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, designing and producing forms of furniture that are still admired today as an expression of innovative and topical genius. The essence of his design vision, evident in the project for the Glasgow School of Art recognised as his most representative work, absorbs and reworks the aesthetics of Art Noveau, at the same time presenting the rigour and purity of Modernism.

Eileen Gray

(Enniscorthy, 1878 – Paris, 1976)

An original design mind capable in every work of reaching levels of superlative elegance. After moving to Paris in 1907, Gray initially made her creations using lacquer; she then went on to design furniture and architectural projects.

Gerrit T. Rietveld

(Utrecht, 1888 – 1964)

The material as a living source to be listened to, understood and possibly reinterpreted according to industrial and mechanised manufacturing processes; this is how Rietveld experimented with his creative tension and, above all, tackled the creative and design process, achieving the aesthetic results that we appreciate today in his most indicative works: from his first Rood/Blauwe chair designed as early as 1900 and produced in 1918 to the ‘Berlin chair’ and the ‘military series’, always experimenting with new techniques and new construction materials as in 1942 he did for the chair made from a single sheet of aluminium and for the ‘Unesco’ chair of 1958, entirely upholstered in foam rubber.

Isamu Noguchi

(Los Angeles 1904 – New York 1988)

The son of the American writer Léonie Gilmour and the Japanese poet Yonejiro (Yone) Noguchi, Isamu Noguchi based his work on a continuous poetic tension, achieved through perfectly polished abstract forms, in which he combined Eastern sophistication with Western sophistication. His creations are pure poetry that can still be admired today in the MOMA, the Guggenheim, the Tate, the MET, the Noguchi Museum and other prestigious international exhibition venues.

Jean Michel Frank

(Paris 1895 – New York 1941)

Decorative ideas that created a minimalist style that is still relevant today and continues to inspire contemporary designers: Frank created his innovative works by citing Neoclassicism and breathing the power of the primitive arts, but especially processing the many cultural stimuli he absorbed while working between Paris, New York and South America. A unique style always based on formal elegance that immediately won the favour of the rich and elite clientele of the 1930s.

Josef Hoffmann

(Brtnice, 1870 – Vienna, 1956)

With a strong and mature design identity, also characterised by a high professional profile, Hoffmann proposed a harmonious synthesis of rationalism and geometric decoration in his works. Alongside the naturalness of the materials, the focus on functionalism always remains. Among his influences were the works of Wagner and Charles Rennie Mackintosh. He participated in the founding of the ‘Vienna Secession’ in 1897 and in 1903 in that of the ‘Wiener Werkstatte’.

Ludwig M.V.D. Rohe

(Aachen, 1886 – Chicago, 1969)

Van Der Rohe was a revolutionary architect and designer (director of the Bauhaus from 1930 until its closure) whose innovative spirit guided future generations of designers and whose refinement and design elegance still shine through in his work to this day: as for example in the 11 buildings that exist today out of the 21 realised for the Stuttgart suburb ‘Wessenhof’ (1927); such as the functionalism of the Tugendhat House in Brno, inscribed on the prestigious UNESCO World Heritage list in 2002.

Marcel Breuer

(Pecs, 1902 – New York, 1981)

Creator of the ‘Wassily’ chair, the first in tubular steel and still a modern design classic today, Marcel Breuer led the ‘Bauhaus furniture workshop’ as early as 1925 at only 23 years of age. Self-taught, he was one of the most important architects of his generation and an iconic furniture designer nowadays, recognised for his creative talent and visionary approach.

Mart Stam

(Purmerend 1899 – Zurig 1986)

Remembered for the S 33 drawing with which he designed the first steel tube ‘cantilever chair’, using pipes and fittings usually used for plumbing, Stam was a Dutch architect, town planner and designer and taught town planning between 1928 and 1929 at the Bauhaus under the direction of Meyer. He founded the magazine ABC in Zurich from 1924 to 1928 with Hans Schmidt, Hannes Meyer, Lissitsky and Roth. He chaired the Opbouw group in Rotterdam from 1926 to 1927. In 1928, he participated in CIAM as a founding member. Between 1930 and 1934, like many other architects in the ABC group, he travelled to the USSR where he worked on urban developments with Ernst May. From 1948 to 1950 he was director of the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden

Percy Bernard

(London, 8 April 1881 – 15 April 1939)

Appreciated for his works related to the forms of Art Deco, Oliver Percy Bernard was a polyhedral figure in the English artistic and productive scene: active as a scenic, graphic and industrial designer, his creative legacy contributed to the creation of the conservative British Victorian style by orienting it towards modernist European perspectives.

Pierre Chareau

(Bordeaux 1883 – New York 1950)

A designing style that combines elegance with technical skill, still evident today in his designs of chairs, stools, tables and cabinets in wood and metal: Pierre Chareau, a French architect and designer as well as a member of the Union of Modern Artists since his birth in 1930, was a recognised figure who received and carried out prestigious and institutional works such as the French Embassy office (Paris 1925), the Beauvallon Golf Club (1927), the interior of the Grand Hotel De Tours (1929) and his ‘Maison de Verre’ (1928-31), so called because of the unusual use of glass tiles.

Pietro Arosio

(Lissone – MI, 20 March 1946)

Pietro Arosio, first graduated at the Istituto d’Arte Applicata in Monza and then trained in the production of metal furniture for public spaces with the company AF&F. In 1972 he refined an original and clear-cut design philosophy, with which he began his profession as an industrial designer. In 1978 he started a prolific and increasingly appreciated activity in the kitchen sector, a talent that was to receive the first Casaviva d’Oro award in 1983, bringing Pietro Arosio’s name and work to the attention of international markets and sector circuits.

René Herbst

(Paris 1891 – 1982)

A debut at the Salon d’ Automne in 1921 and in 1924 a noteworthy participation at the Salon des Artistes Dècorateurs thanks to the work exhibited: a dining room in bas-relief. Herbst was one of the pioneers of steel, experimenting with the use of this material in furniture, presenting steel tube furniture as early as 1925. In 1930 his name stands out among the founders of the ‘Union des Artistes Modernes’.

Robert M. Stevens

(Paris 1886 – 1945)

Strongly impressed by the cleanliness and essentiality of the Austrian and German design of his time, in 1910 Stevens subjected his design vision to a process of formal synthesis and reduction that placed simplicity as the main creative canon. In 1913, in his Salon de musique at the Salon d’Automne, he presented what, according to his new conception, would be the shapes and volumes of modern Parisian living and commercial spaces: clean lines and geometric shapes, furniture also made of tubular steel, fabrics with cubist prints but characterised by basic lines and soft colours.

Takehiko Mizutani

(Tokyo 1907 – 1969)

Enrolled at the Bauhaus in 1927, Mizutani is one of the few Japanese designers who passed through the lists of this school. Some of his works appear in trade publications and in some photographic collections of Bauhaus furniture. He returned to Japan before the war and taught architecture until 1944 at the Tokyo College of Fine Arts (now the Faculty of Fine Arts, Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music).

Pietro Arosio

(1803 – 1961)

The Shakers were a self-supporting group of Puritan Calvinists, traced back to the Quakers born in the early 18th century whose basic principles were simplicity, utility, craftsmanship and honesty. The furniture was designed and created by the Shakers themselves and simple, functional designs predominated, without unnecessary detail. Shakers were experts in the production of useful and durable furniture. Just like their architecture, they discarded any unnecessary ornamentation. Their furniture had simple shapes made of walnut, maple, birch or honey-coloured pine.

eero saarinen

(1910 Kirkkonummi FI – 1961 Ann Arbor, Michigan US)

Known for designing the TWA terminal at New York’s J.F. Kennedy Airport, Eero Saarinen created a series of avant-garde furniture pieces in 1937, which went on to win the “Organic Design in Home Furnishing” competition organized in 1940 by the Museum of Modern Art in New York. Saarinen became renowned for his designs featuring curved lines, through which he was especially able to give the roofs of his buildings an extraordinary sense of lightness.
