2011年，BRABBU經(jīng)過一系列的品牌和設(shè)計發(fā)展之后，在倫敦Decorex International正式推出。這個品牌從室內(nèi)設(shè)計領(lǐng)域中誕生，有著獨特而與眾不同的風格，專門為居住及公共空間的室內(nèi)布置進行全面的配套。品牌的名字由“勇敢”這個詞衍生而來，這也正是品牌本身所要傳達的：力量、強度和品質(zhì)。

BRABBU was officially presented at Decorex International in London, September 2011, after a period of brand and design development. The brand was born from the gap we identified in the interior design market, a brand with a unique and different style with an integrated offer, allowing a professional to completely furnish a residential or hospitality space.The brand’s name comes from the word “brave”, which for its sonority and meaning, reflects what we want our pieces to reflect – strength, intensity, and character.
 



 

靈感來源

原始的形態(tài)和自然地力量。旅行，讓我們自己置身于不同的故事和文化中。從過去中學(xué)習(xí)，尤其是中世紀。過著以四海為家的生活。這所有的一切加起來造就了BRABBU，形成了BRABBU的精神內(nèi)核。

當BRABBU成立之初，我們就很清楚要去傳達的內(nèi)容。我們不僅僅是簡單地設(shè)計家具。每一個被設(shè)計出來的產(chǎn)品都有一個新的故事可以講述。BRABBU遠超設(shè)計作品，你可以獲得不同的充滿記憶和獨特感覺的空間，把空間和個人特質(zhì)完美地融合在一起，達到一種平衡。我們設(shè)計的作品是“感覺”的禮物。BRABBU的生活風格給人一種熱情的生活方式，有些人熱衷于細節(jié)，有些人不停止地到處旅行，永遠在尋找新的發(fā)現(xiàn)，新的記憶和新的故事。


 

The raw shapes and fierce forces of nature. Travelling and letting ourselves be surrounded by the diversity of stories and cultures of the world. Admiring and learning from the past, from the mid century era. Living for the cosmopolitan life. These realities all together are what makes BRABBU, thus are BRABBU’s inspiration.

When BRABBU was founded we had a very strong and clear idea of what we wanted to transmit. We couldn’t simply design furniture pieces. Every single piece that we design, has a new story to tell. With BRABBU you will get more than a design piece, you will get a diversity of spaces fulfilled with memories and unique sensations in perfect harmony with your spaces and your personality. We design our pieces to be a gift for the senses. Therefore, someone with BRABBU’s lifestyle will be someone with a very intense way of living, someone that enjoys details, someone with this cosmopolitan living which never stops, almost always on the run for new discoveries, new memories and new stories to live and recall.

 

設(shè)計過程

首先將設(shè)計想法在紙上呈現(xiàn)出來，經(jīng)常是在每周的設(shè)計會議上實行，那里有一張很大的桌子，擺滿材料，圖紙，涂料以及各種布料。然后是用軟件設(shè)計出產(chǎn)品的視覺效果，如果符合品牌的理念，其他一切都沒有問題，就把這個產(chǎn)品帶到現(xiàn)實中來。

First we start by reflecting our inspiration on the paper drafts, usually on our weekly design sessions, wher we have this huge table full of materials, drawings, finishes, fabrics. Then it is time to design the product on the adequate software program, if its according the brand’s standards and everything it’s all right we prototype it, and it comes to life.




 

材質(zhì)顏色

黃銅，是一個現(xiàn)在非常流行的材質(zhì)。而且它可以廣泛運用。大理石，是一種給人宏偉之感的材料，傳統(tǒng)的葡萄牙巖石。最后還有天鵝絨，這種優(yōu)雅柔軟的材料永遠是軟墊部分的組成之一。

所使用的材料，最開始用與地球和自然中比較常見的色彩，比如綠色和藍色，后來為了使色彩更加豐富，加入了一些更加強烈和鮮艷的顏色。

Brass, which is a very trendy material right now. And it is also very versatile. Also Marble, which is an imposing and respectful material. And it is also a traditional Portuguese rock. Last, but definitely not the least, velvet, an elegant and soft material that will always be incorporated in our upholstery pieces.

In what concern colors, from the beginning that we use colors more related to the earth and nature itself, like green or blue, but in order to expand our range of colors and to bring more intensity to the pieces we have started using more strong and vibrant colors.

 

設(shè)計與工藝

    BRABBU的成功之一就是把設(shè)計和工藝緊密結(jié)合。每一件產(chǎn)品都是獨特的，因為設(shè)計師和工藝之間的聯(lián)系是那么地緊密。兩個之間共同合作以達成更高的成果。他們共同分享理念和技術(shù)，提升產(chǎn)品的整體質(zhì)量并統(tǒng)一到整個系列中。此外，BRABBU認為沒有了設(shè)計師的創(chuàng)意和工匠的智慧和經(jīng)驗，是沒有辦法發(fā)展產(chǎn)品的。

One of the main reasons for BRABBU’s success is in fact this relationship. Every piece conceived by BRABBU is unique because there is this close relation between our designers and workmanship. Designers and craftsman work together to get the best out of each piece. They share ideas and techniques in order to raise masterpieces that will be integrated in the collection. Furthermore, we believe that is impossible to develop a product without the creativity of one designer and the wisdom and experience of an artisan.
