The AR13 ESE is a low daybed from the Amare Collection. The base layers dark wood and black stone with gold veining, two materials that shift in reading as the light changes. Across the top, dark grey textile cushions are arranged in a multi-level modular configuration: a raised backrest section at one end, flat seat cushions extending along the length.
The long, linear proportions place the piece at the boundary between seating and sculptural object. Viewed from above, the cushion arrangement is geometric and deliberate. Viewed from the side, the dark base materials carry visual weight, the gold veining catching at an angle, the wood grain running horizontal.
Bertille Achard de la Vente founded Amare with the aim of making furniture that gives equal weight to the materials used and the form produced. The AR13 ESE holds those two concerns in balance: the structure is architectural, the surface alive with natural variation.

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.
