iannone:design

Iannone:Design is a company that’s hard not to love: they deftly balance modern and stylish design in one hand and sustainable production practices in the other. Formerly Iannone:Sanderson, the firm made its debut at the 2004 International Contemporary Fair in New York. Present at the ICFF was the Kirei Mod Coffee Table which prominently features Kirei board. Made from reclaimed sorghum stalks (seen above), Kirei has a rough, granular texture that contrasts beautifully with the table’s matte white acrylic frame.

Iannone’s Signature 2.0 cabinets feature a similar Kirei-on-white design, but takes the concept one step further by incorporating botanical patterns: a clear homage to the company’s eco-friendly roots. The doors are made from Kirei board while the cabinet uses formaldehyde-free plywood with a low VOC (volatile organic compound) finish.

Above: the Signature 1.0 and Green:Mod series utilize the same low VOC plywood as Signature 2.0 but also introduce bamboo and a touch of stainless steel into the mix. Signature 1.0 features random square cutouts while the Green:Mod series consists of a cabinet and nightstand, the latter of which comes with your choice of natural, amber, ash, walnut or beech fronts.

In addition to limited production pieces, Iannone is also available for custom work. From top: another version of the Mod Coffee Table uses salvaged fir framing lumber, complete with original nail holes. Meanwhile, Iannone’s contemporary media armoire and cabinets are particularly stunning when backlit, with door panels that reveal thatch and bamboo suspended in resin.
