COLLECTIONS
Fundamenta Collection
The Fundamenta Collection is where the core of design meets the edge of innovation. It's a celebration of fundamental forms that are the building blocks of aesthetic and functional design. Yet, it's also a testament to the restless spirit of creativity that drives NONO. This collection embodies designs that are essential – the classic shapes and essential lines that form the basis of every interior. But in the same breath, it ventures into new territories, experimenting with forms, materials, and concepts.
Unseen Force Pieces
In the spirit of Constantin Brancusi's philosophy, where the plinth was as much a work of art as the sculpture it displayed, Joel Escalona's Unseen Force Collection for NONO epitomizes the harmonious fusion of art and function. The tables in this collection are not mere pedestals for display but integral components of a single artistic vision, where the sculptural forms atop them resonate with the base, each enhancing the other’s aesthetic and purpose.
SERENO
The Sereno Collection features a variety of floating wall shelves, bookcases, and sideboards that embody tranquility because each design piece doesn't need anything on them to look complete. The idea is simple: each design piece is beautiful on its own, even when it's empty. You don't have to decorate or clutter it with stuff to start experiencing it. And rest assured, these pieces are not just about aesthetics—they're highly practical too.
SOLACE SERIES
The Solace side table series, designed by Joel Escalona, is a furniture collection that exudes balance and presence, thanks to its sensuous, dense, and irregular shapes. These small tables double as works of art, bold and sculptural, with function taking a backseat to expression.
Inspired by the iconic Pigeon sculpture by Isamu Noguchi, the Solace side table series is a stunning tribute to the fusion of traditional and modern design elements that made Noguchi's work so unique. Drawing on the curves and lines that characterize his style, these side tables feature outlines that pay homage to the renowned American artist.
FISHES SERIES
Fishes is a series of sculptural coffee tables inspired by the famous Fish (1930) sculpture of Rumanian artist Constantin Brancusi. Brancusi's work has been widely regarded as a masterpiece of modern art, and his Fish sculpture remain an iconic symbol of his artistic vision.
The Fishes Coffee Tables series is a tribute to Brancusi's mastery of creating a sense of tranquility and serenity. Each coffee table in this collection is meticulously shaped from natural finish or black-tinted oak wood or walnut.
ELEFANTE
A distinguished tribute to the architectural movements of Mexican Modernism and Brutalist design. The collection showcases three minimal furniture design pieces, including a versatile side table that doubles as a nightstand, a monumental coffee table, and a narrow console table ideal for entryways or living rooms.
Each item of the collection is expertly crafted from oak wood with an vintage look, creating an aura of exquisite quality and sophistication. The simple geometric forms, designed with a particular emphasis on balance and harmony, reflect the core principles of Brutalist design.
STILL STAND
Joel Escalona's wooden standing sculptures are objects of raw beauty and serene grace. Each one is a testament to the power of the material, with smooth curves that flow into one another, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect. The sculptures themselves are like silent sentinels, standing guard over the spaces they inhabit, filling their viewers with a lust to touch them.
In a world filled with noise and chaos, Escalona's sculptures offer a moment of calm and tranquility. They invite the viewer to bask in their serenity, to slow down and appreciate the beauty of nature, the beauty of wood, and the beauty of art.
MUTED LOUNGE CHAIRS
Brutalist chairs boast a strong, yet passive presence with minimalist designs that highlight the rich textures of natural oak wood. The goal was to showcase the beauty and character of the material.
Crafted from solid oak with a dark finish, each chair is made to order with a wait time of 3-4 months. Each piece may differ slightly in design and wood finish, showcasing the natural character of the oak wood.
These chairs radiate a quiet confidence, anchoring any space with their timeless minimalist aesthetic.
THE 3 KINGS
The 3 Kings are a handcrafted figurative sculpture from Mexico which embodies the essence of Brancusi sculptures and carvings, Mexican woodwork, and contemporary abstraction, these forms exude the idealization of aesthetic form and the poetic evocation of spiritual thought.
Brancusi's words, 'When we are no longer children, we are already dead,' are a fitting reminder of the power of art to inspire and evoke."
UNSEEN FORCE
Inspired by masters of abstract carving like Constantin Brancusi, Isamu Noguchi and Jean Arp, this outstanding sculpture embodies the spirit of organic art. Each piece is made to order, specific for each client and takes around 3 months to complete. Although each sculpture is unique, they all maintain the same spirit, proportions, and dimensions that make them so exceptional.
BASA
The Basa Collection designed by the NONO design team is a simple yet striking piece. The natural American sourced wood veneer speaks for itself, with warm tones running through in a symphony that blends seamlessly with the space. Each piece is unique, with its own set of veins, patterns, tones, and characteristics. The wood is skillfully joined together with a hollow structure made of premium particle board, adding both function and beauty.
SOCLE
Socle is a small solid wood table designed by the NONO design team. Made of solid wood, its elaborated construction serves as a support, much like a plinth for a statue or sculpture.
In the past, the plinth was purely functional, serving only to stabilize and present the artwork. But through the work of artists like Donatello during the Renaissance and Constantin Brancusi in the 20th century, the base has become an integral part of the artwork itself, no longer distinguishable from the object it supports.
PODIO
The NONO design team presents a coffee table that exudes elegance and modernity. The foundation of this piece is a cluster of cylindrical columns, providing a sturdy base for the beautiful rectangular top. Its simplicity and lowkey design make it a versatile piece, perfect for use as a coffee table or as a bench for sitting.
Crafted by hand, the veneer wood used in this table has been carefully selected to showcase the unique graining and natural character of the material. The particle board structure and wood veneer come together to create a warm and inviting aesthetic that will complement any living space. The thick cover and cylindrical legs are both functional and beautiful, adding an architectural element to the overall design.
PEANA
Under apparent simplicity, emerges Peana Collection to elevate your most precious objects.
Peana, which in English translates to base or pedestal, is a series of tables and different surfaces inspired by the idea of creating worthy furniture pieces to place and exhibit your most cherished possessions.
Although simple at first glance, these tables slowly reveal the meticulous work that comes into their craftsmanship. The solid wood hides beneath its apparently simple form a soft edge beneath the top, a continuously soft curve that stops unexpectedly on both sides and delicately placed angled legs, resulting in a classic but sophisticated piece, revealed only to those who take time to appreciate their surroundings.
DUNA
Our Duna Collection is inspired by the vast sand dune regions of the world. These formations, with their sinuous fine lines created by the wind, showcase the beauty of a landscape and represent the natural passage of time and the constant transformation of our surroundings.
We wanted to bring the warm sensation of layer upon layer of sand to our furniture, so we carefully crafted each piece of the Duna Collection to resemble a serene landscape. The polished tabletop surface of each piece captures the effect of the wind, while the fluid, smooth wood base adds to the overall calming effect.
PRIMA
Prima Collection is born under the idea of creating fundamental pieces for home, those that you simply cannot imagine your space without.
Composed of a tv stand and a side table, this furniture collection presents a series of surfaces and storage pieces that will become an elementary piece of furniture in your day to day. With a smooth surface that wraps delicately around each of these pieces, ample storage space and graceful but steady legs, each piece from Prima Collection will bring reliable and authentic pieces into your life.
Prima Collection was conceived for the practical personalities that seek a modest yet original element to keep their goods.
NOVIEMBRE
The Noviembre Collection is a furniture collection that invites you to explore form, function, and the feeling of slow, opulent, and serene lines. This collection is inspired by the creative values of Constantin Brancusi, a Romanian sculptor known for his highly simplified figures and lack of ornamentation. Brancusi sought to appeal to both the intellect and senses, representing his vision of the true essence of things.
Designed by Joel Escalona for BREUER STUDIO, the Noviembre Collection includes tables, chest of drawers, dining chairs, lounge chairs, console tables, and sculptural bookshelves - all perfect for contemporary spaces. Each piece in this collection embodies Brancusi's philosophy of simplicity and elegance.
LAWS OF MOTION
At first, this collection aims to explore concrete concepts such as gravity, force or movement, and how they can be expressed as design pieces, which, in a confident journey — where the adventure was everything but expected — takes us to the unexpected scenario of observing the author’s vulnerability when facing a series of questions, which help us consider new meanings for each of these concepts.
There are objects that define us better than a thousand biographies. Objects that at first glance seem static, to which we don’t attribute any value beyond their function, such as containing, guarding or simply decorating, but that define us, since they hide a second unexpected personal meaning.
BODEGA
Our Bodega Collection is inspired by the chiaroscuro technique, also known as cellar art, used by the famous Italian painter Caravaggio. This technique, which involves the use of extreme contrasts of light and shadow, was so important in its time that multiple schools were founded solely to teach it. Artists would set up their workshops in cellars with small windows to practice this style of painting.
BOOLEANOS
The Booleanos Collection is a line of furniture inspired by construction and deconstruction, as seen in the contrasting finishes of its materials. The collection was first created for a design exhibition in 2012 and has since become one of NONO's most popular lines.
The Booleanos Collection is available in two different configurations of light and dark wood, creating an optical illusion that challenges the idea of balance and symmetry.
MYDNA
The MYDNA Collection is a chic and contemporary line of storage furniture inspired by the DNA concept. Its unique double helix design allows you to display your most valuable items or showcase the elements of your personality that make you who you are. With its sophisticated design, the MYDNA Collection is a statement piece that will elevate any living space. The collection includes a shelf, mini shelf, and side table.
ROCKY
The Rocky Collection is a luxurious line of furniture with a unique, polygonal surface that makes a bold statement. It includes a coffee table, TV cabinet, and cantina, making it a perfect choice for those with a fearless sense of style. With its shimmering finish and exuberant design, the Rocky Collection is a must-have for anyone looking to add a touch of luxury to their living space.
PLATEAU
Inspired by the majesty of mountain systems throughout the Americas, Plateau makes reference to the small surfaces that emerge from a vast piece of land peculiar for its burnished flat shape. Plateau Collection is a series of side tables ideal for large spaces that need to draw attention into the room with a solid elegant presence.
POGO
