WHEN A WALL IS NOT A WALL



After over a decade of unrivaled success of WALL, a sofa seating series by Piero Lissoni, GRAYE is excited about some news coming from Milan this month. The EXTRASOFT sofas we have had on exhibition in our windows are just getting ready to head ‘out the door’ with a reengineered version for outdoor use! GRAYE has been so very happy with Los Angeles’ interest and desire for this model we represent and are looking forward to adding it to our growing offering of luxury outdoor furnishings.

As with the standard EXTRAWALL and EXTRASOFT modular series this new model will have the same grand scale and clever ability for all parts to be freely linked to configure and reconfigure without limitation. A key feature to its amazing success, being a top seller since its introduction as EXTRAWALL back in 2002.

Another piece of great news from Living Divani concerning the EXTRASOFT is the introduction of NEOWALL last year. This news for us at Graye is especially sweet, as the interest in our EXTRASOFT units on display had many left behind due to the extra-large format size of the series modules. Happily the NEOWALL answers the desire of our clients to get the feel and look of the EXTRASOFT in a unit smaller in scale. The scale actually formatted almost exactly as the sofa that began the WALL series in 2000 simply called ‘WALL.1’, so Lissoni essentially developed a ‘soft’ version of WALL to follow the success of the ‘soft’ version of EXTRAWALL, aptly named EXTRASOFT.



WALL.1 - 2000




NEOWALL.1 - 2011

I know of no other sofa that has gone on to spawn 9 versions of itself, each one more successful, and after now 9 models of wall available I believe we can properly tag ‘wall’ as an icon of modern design. In 2005 Michele De Lucci and Interni selected EXTRAWALL for permanent exhibition in the gardens of the design museum at the Milan Triennale. Produced in fabric textured concrete, it still sits behind the museum next to 9 other icons of modern Italian design.

Delinear 'Detour' carpet on display now at Graye

To follow up on my last post, here is a nice image of our Delinear space in our Los Angeles

showroom. We have full sets of material samples, color carpet charts and a few

amazing pieces on display. The red 'Detour' on the wall is gorgeous, a 50/50 mix of wool

and silk for that matte/shine pop. The 'gradient' collection has 6 standard patterns

again all adaptable in scale, orientation, size and color.

The graphic effect for the series is vibrant and stimulating. Design copyright Delinear Inc. 2010

Custom carpets with Delinear SF

Graye is so happy to be working with Delinear carpets out of San Francisco and it's award winning owner Chris Baisa. In addition to the normal fare of hand knotted carpets, Delinear is noted in the field for their custom creations. Whether it is a special color on a standard design or a special shape, size or design the sky is the limit with this maker. One project I just completed took Delinears 'relay' carpet in his mist collection and recolored it to exactly match a pair of bordeaux chairs.

The project completed and this one of a kind wool rug provides a sophisticated and rich base to a cutting edge home.

In addition to wool and silk, Delinear works with mohair, pashmina and many natural plant fibers including

banana, bamboo, soybean, linen, hemp, cactus and nettle. All available in his palette of 260 colors so the

choices can be a little daunting....which is what we at Graye are here for. Bring your ideas in and we 

will work with Chris to realize your dream.

Delinear rugs are all certified and numbered by Goodweave to ensure your piece 

from start to finish is free of child labor.
