The AR11 ESE is a chaise lounge from the Amare Collection, built around a flowing S-curve silhouette. The base is dark and heavily textured, worked from distressed material that carries the marks of the process. A light beige textile runs across the length of the piece, covering both the raised back section and the seat, sitting in measured contrast to the rough base below.
The proportions are contemporary and low to the ground. The elevated back offers a gentle recline; the seat transitions without interruption into the leg rest. The overall line is fluid, the structure deliberate.
Amare founder Bertille Achard de la Vente established the label to explore the meeting point between minimalism and brutalism. The AR11 ESE holds that ground: there is nothing added to the form that the material does not demand. The texture speaks. The silhouette moves. The textile pulls the eye from dark to pale.

About
Amare
AMARE is an Italian design studio founded by Bertille Achard de la Vente. Based in Tuscany, the studio makes furniture at the intersection of minimalism and brutalism, drawing on the particular stones, woods, and metals of the region.
Achard de la Vente established AMARE around a single premise: that raw material deserves to be the subject of a piece, not its backdrop. Each object in the Amare Collection is designed to make the source material visible. The wood is distressed rather than smoothed. The stone carries its veining without intervention. The steel ages rather than being sealed. Nothing is mediated away from what the original material was.
The Amare Collection spans seating, tables, and lighting. The seating pieces, chaise longues and benches, share a low grounded geometry. Their bases are dark, worked from Tuscan wood that retains its natural texture; the upholstered surfaces are pale beige textile, quiet against the rough base below. The contrast is the design.
The tables work in a different register. The AR03 ESE is two concentric discs in dark weathered steel. The AR13 and AR14 combine dark wood with black stone, gold veining running through the material in lines that respond to the angle of light. The tables sit close to the floor, the stone panels legible from a standing position.
The lighting, a series of octagonal pendant forms cast in light beige composite material, extends the studio's language into the ceiling plane. Each pendant is faceted and sculptural, suspended by a thin wire that keeps the object rather than its mounting in view.
AMARE pieces are unique and handcrafted in Italy. The full collection is available through Monde Singulier.
