PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Aston is a family of individual pieces, including a sofa, a daybed, armchairs, poufs and chairs, custom-designed to furnish homes and “public spaces” with style and elegance, allowing the conversation to continue between indoors and outdoors.‎
Aston and Aston “Cord” share the same design roots and aesthetic language and are pieces whose compact size and graceful lines are a boon to creating innovative interior design projects that express continuity and consistency of style between interior and exterior settings.‎ Source of inspiration for the Aston collections is the memory of the old-fashioned parlor or drawing room, reserved for receiving guests, where smaller-scale sofas and dainty armchairs were in fashion.‎ Today, lifestyles have certainly changed but the taste for preserving tradition and for the measured elegance expressed by some furnishings from the past has come back into vogue.‎
Inspiration for the sofa, the armchair, the pouf and the Aston daybed is unabashedly retro; what they have in common is eloquent lines, a more conservative scale and the kind of painstaking construction that expresses time-tested craftsmanship.‎
