Gibillero Design works in collaboration with German furniture imprint Benkert Bänke to launch the new CHALIDOR 800 series, a collection of outdoor furniture that is meant to redefine the overall experience through modern design and bright colors.
The capsule is led by a chair that is light visually but has a welded construction and sets the tone for the rest of the collection.
The project has been awarded a 2023 Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
Benkert Bänke ‘s tonal palette allows customers to personalize the design that is to their preference.
The colors are vibrant and include options of white, yellow, orange, red, green, and more. It has a design language that is low to the ground to channel contemporary aesthetics for any space.
“It all started with a chair: a visually light but objectively robust system created by welding sloping and vertical planes that grow together like a sculpture from a single block of stone,” states Benkert Bänke.
The seat and backrest surfaces are emptied through parallel slots that meet segments full of vertical and circular lines.
The design of the chair was instrumental in the development of the other products: Benches, seats without backs, sun loungers, tables, lounge and bar furniture, offering the customer a wide choice, also thanks to the availability of more than 8500 colors offered.
All Chalidor 800 furniture is made entirely of stainless steel and handcrafted in Germany.
