50 years since Eileen Gray. 100 years of Bibendum.

Eileen Gray challenged conventions with her independent approach to design, creating pieces that remain as distinctive and relevant today as they were a century ago.

On the 50th anniversary of her passing, we remember her remarkable vision and enduring influence on modern design.

Created in 1926, the Bibendum armchair embodies her unmistakable design language. To celebrate its centenary, ClassiCon presents a limited edition of just 100 individually numbered armchairs.

A century of design. An enduring legacy.

Designed to be felt.

Soft Stone is defined as much by touch as it is by form. Generous volumes, softly rounded geometries and carefully selected textiles create a surface that invites interaction.

Look closer and subtle details begin to emerge: the way fabric follows each curve, the deliberate folds, the transition between softness and structure.

Designed by , the Soft Stone Sofa turns tactility into part of its expression – creating a sofa that reveals itself not only through the way it inhabits a room, but through the way it feels.

A new perspective on Eileen Gray – soon to be revealed in Zurich.

For , we have developed a new selection of colours for Dune fabric together with , curated especially for Eileen Gray’s designs.

Presented to the public for the first time on the Lota Sofa and Non Conformist Armchair, the new palette reveals a different facet of designs created nearly a century ago.

Across the installation, Soft Stone by offers a contemporary counterpoint: sculptural, tactile and distinctly of today.

Two perspectives connected through colour, material and form.

Discover the full installation next week at neue räume 26.

When light begins to shape the evening.

As the days grow shorter, the atmosphere of an interior begins to change. Light becomes softer, more intentional – a presence in the room rather than simply a necessity.

With its sculptural form and delicate interplay of light and shadow, the Plissée Lamp by transforms illumination into atmosphere. Its pleated silhouette gives the light an almost textile quality, bringing warmth and depth to the space beneath it.

A light designed not only to illuminate, but to define the mood around it.

A study in natural materials.

With the Matéria tables, stone and wood meet in a composition defined by contrast and balance. The distinctive surface of travertine encounters the warmth of solid wood, allowing the character of each material to remain beautifully visible.

As summer slowly shifts, natural textures bring a new sense of depth to the interior –tactile, grounded and enduring.

Designed by , Matéria Table Series celebrates materials not simply for how they look, but for how they age, feel and become part of everyday life.

Two perspectives. One vision.

This autumn, ClassiCon returns to Zurich for neue räume 26.

Our presentation brings two perspectives on design into dialogue: the enduring vision of Eileen Gray and the contemporary world of the Soft Stone Sofa by Gabriel Tan.

Connected through colour, material and form, past and present come together in an installation created especially for Zurich.

We look forward to welcoming you.

A new season, reflected in aluminium.

Inspired by the bold lines of the 1970s, ’ Bow Table series translates a sense of retro-futurism into a distinctly contemporary form.

In aluminium, its sculptural silhouette takes on a cooler, more architectural character – reflecting light and subtly shifting with its surroundings. Different sizes and heights can be composed freely, creating ever-changing arrangements that feel as much like a spatial composition as a collection of tables.

A play of proportion, material and reflection – designed to evolve with the room.

Some pieces are designed to stand on their own. Others reveal their full character in dialogue.

The Volkshaus Stool by does both. As a standalone piece, it brings quiet architectural presence to contemporary interiors. Paired with the Volkshaus Lounge Chair and Side Table, it becomes part of a cohesive composition where proportion, material and craftsmanship come together with effortless balance.

Whether placed in a living room, lounge or hospitality setting, the collection demonstrates how timeless design transcends categories – creating spaces that feel considered, inviting and enduring.

Some colours don't simply brighten a room, they shape its atmosphere.

Rich greens, warm brass, soft peach and subtle lilac come together in a composition that feels both vibrant and effortlessly balanced. Like summer itself, the palette is full of warmth, light and quiet optimism without ever overwhelming the space.

Part of the Bell Table Collection by Sebastian Herkner, this Bell Side Table pairs a hand-blown green glass base with a brass frame – one of several carefully curated colour combinations that allow the collection to adapt to a wide variety of interiors while giving each piece its own distinctive character.

Capturing reflections, surrounding colours and changing daylight, the Bell Table reveals a different expression throughout the day – a reminder that timeless design is never defined by form alone, but also by light, material and colour.
