stories

Sometimes the past is so contemporary. Expormim has gone to those days with the intention to recover the first Lapala woven chair, the original, so typical of the Mediterranean. The sculptural design, conceived by Lievore Altherr Molina studio in 1998, turns 25 years old.

Swing chairs are one of the most adaptable pieces in the world of furniture, a true chameleon: they work just fine indoors and outdoors, in small and large spaces, at home and in public spaces. You name it. You have our word, it’ll fit wonderfully.

Horizontal living. In other words, laying down as much as possible. Summer is here and our system longs for a full reboot. We are ready for low energy consumption activities involving comfortable devices such as loungers, daybeds, hammocks, etc. No big efforts intended apart from book holding or glass lifting. Catnapping is allowed anywhere, anytime. No wonder outdoor loungers like Käbu chaise longue become the real deal.

Summer makes us thirsty in so many ways and the solution is always aquatic. Seas, rivers and lakes are great, but after an adventure day outdoors, could you resist the call of a fancy pool equipped with luxury furniture and frozen cocktails at hand? One last intimate dip at sunset and then relax in the most comfortable seating option available: a fabulous “pool” sofa.

The wheel of fashion turns today faster than ever. Hypes and trends come and go. Sometimes it is difficult to catch up and it can be even more difficult to escape from the frenziness. And yet, some designs never fall out of fashion. That’s exactly how Loop rattan chair, our newest seating collection for the indoor, was devised by Danish studio Norm Architects.

Our stand picked up the thread of our speech from where we left it last year. Signed again by Sylvain Carlet, there are some intrinsic values and references to it that have remained intact: our commitment to sustainability, our love for the Mediterranean in its widest and deepest sense, and our passion for greenery.

On September 19^th, in coincidence with the first day of Feria Hábitat Valencia, we organised a very special event at the Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Valencia (CTAV): a round table focused on our iconic Lapala chair on the occasion of its 25^th anniversary. Manel Molina, one of Lapala‘s designers and one of Expormim’s closer collaborators, designer, University teacher and consultant Javier Pastor and journalist and curator Tachy Mora led this colloquium about craftsmanship, design, culture and tradition. The event took place in the inner courtyard of the building, an elegantly refurbished space, and it was followed by a catering with live music.

To find the meaning of Obi outdoor sofa, we need to move to the Land of the Rising Sun. This seating collection, designed by the veteran Milanese duo Ludovica+Roberto Palomba, pays tribute to Japanese culture through a very specific, but iconic element.

Last fall we launched our first showroom in London, in partnership with Mosa. Located in the heart of Clerkenwell, it has become already a meeting point for inspiration, craftsmanship and design culture.

This fall Expormim launches its first showroom space in the British capital. Located in the heart of the Clerkenwell, the space has been designed to leave an everlasting impression. The showroom, in partnership with Mosa., will have dedicated areas where our products will be displayed.

We have been awarded the Premio Nacional de Diseño because of our design, a design deeply rooted in our territory, our culture and our history, a design that speaks of who we are, where we come from and where we are headed to.

When you are invited to an elegant party, you wear your finest outfit and try to look your best. That is what we intended with the stand and the novelties that we present at the 60th edition of Salone del Mobile in Milan 2022.

“Design Forever” by Elle Decor Italia: a journey through timeless design. An exhibition on how good design can bring together objects from different ages and project them into the future

Spring always brings a sense of expectation, a craving for outdoor spaces, a dream of summer. Days are longer, brighter, happier. People meet outside: come to my rooftop, see you at the terrace round the corner, find me at that little bar by the promenade. We shake the last remains of winter and fill with summer vibes. Burn the old, bring on the new.

“The thing about rattan is that you don’t really know what the material is capable of before you have seen it being processed by hand by a skilled furniture maker. Visiting the factory of Expormim was crucial for the outcome of the Cask collection”

For knowing how to combine in an extraordinary way the values of traditional craft industry and avant-garde in the field of high-quality furniture design from a perspective of environmental sustainability in permanent contact with innovation and the social dimension of design.

Be inspired by the way in which our new products come to life within the living environments of our showroom “La Venta” through this new interactive tool.

We want to pay tribute to our craftsmen because now more than ever they are the beating heart of Expormim. It is thanks to them that we were able to rescue rattan from oblivion, rethink it and make it worthy of contemporary design.

We invite you to our new exhibition, a celebration of our history and a heartfelt tribute to our craftsmen and their valuable work. Without them, Expormim would not be what it is today.

Estos 10 años nos han valido para consolidarnos en América gracias a la modernidad de nuestro pasado, la inquebrantable confianza hacia nuestros artesanos en el presente y la solidez de nuestra mirada hacia tiempos futuros.

Qué mejor momento que éste para celebrar la artesanía y también el arte de las manos expertas de nuestros maestros artesanos, que fueron nuestro punto de partida y que a día de hoy, siguen siendo nuestro mejor secreto.

Chic, inviting, lightweight and dynamic… Defining the Frames collection by Expormim is tantamount to describing the personality of its designer, Jaime Hayon.

Be bold and get ready to welcome the new era!
Our collections keep rewriting the rules of outdoor furniture. The outdoor was never so elegant, so comfortable, so also capable of penetrating into indoor spaces without any disruption.

Rattan is our legacy, and we have reengineered it to design furniture for indoor spaces. It’s a natural vine, not a wood. Rattan is more sustainable, easier to harvest, much easier to transport and grows much faster than most tropical wood

The way in which the interior space is thought about and organized is in constant evolution. That also goes for the way in which it is narrated. For this reason, we changed our location this year. We moved to Hall 22, along with an exclusive selection of brands in S. Project.
