Meta is dedicated to combining exquisite materials with the world's finest artisans to create 21st century design at a quality once seen at the heights of the decorative arts. A group of leading designers, including Asymptote, Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby, Tord Boontje, Matali Crasset and Wales & Wales have been commissioned in association with over 50 master ateliers and artisans to create Meta's inaugural collection of contemporary objects and furniture. The culmination of three years of intensive preparation, Meta's first collection launched in Europe during the Salone del Mobile in Milan in April 2008. A further five pieces are reserved for the North American launch in New York City on 12 May 2008.
Meta aspires to provide new opportunities for today's leading designers to create timeless contemporary objects and furniture of exceptional quality. Designers have worked closely with masters and artisans to create contemporary pieces that benefit from a diverse and largely uncommon selection of materials, proportions, details and techniques. Each selection has been purposeful to a piece's intended function to ensure a lasting quality and integrity. The initial collection ranges from a set of precious gold boxes to a stunning silver candelabra to an elaborate fig-leaf wardrobe.Mallett
