At Salone del Mobile 2026, Pierre Frey presents “Allegory of the Loom”, an installation conceived by Johanna de Clisson, alongside a new series of furniture collections revealed through a more direct, object-focused display.
Departing from conventional scenography, the installation unfolds as a spatial manifesto. Suspended textile panels reinterpret the loom through a contemporary lens, evoking the moment where threads first emerge from an empty surface. Positioned between concept and prototype, the installation resists closure, leaving space for interpretation while foregrounding the Maison’s deep-rooted artisanal expertise.
This exploration extends into the collections themselves. VESTA by Garnier & Linker brings together armchairs, seating elements and tables in a cohesive composition defined by rounded volumes and a central wooden base. The pieces articulate a sense of quiet stability, referencing the Roman goddess Vesta and her association with the hearth as a place of intimacy and continuity.
SHIFUMI by RDAI, the focus shifts toward modularity and movement. Tabletops unfold like petals, repeating and reconfiguring across three heights to create fluid, ever-changing arrangements that respond to spatial context.
BELLPORT by Christian Haas, channels the understated atmosphere of Long Island living. Generous proportions, open lines and deep seating define a sofa that privileges comfort as an essential spatial quality rather than a decorative gesture.
The presentation is framed by the BETTY chair by Elisabetta Freda, now introduced in an outdoor version. Its evolution reflects Pierre Frey’s continued expansion into high-performance outdoor textiles, reinforcing a broader material ecosystem that extends across interior and exterior environments.
Under the direction of Vincent Frey, the brand’s latest direction draws from an archive of over 25,000 historical textiles. Geometric motifs and vintage references are reinterpreted through saturated earth tones and black-gold palettes, forming a visual language that bridges heritage and contemporary expression.
