Designed in Barcelona | Designed in Rotterdam | Designed in Berlin

Arré is ready to show the latest collection of designs and products at IMM Cologne. The show is focused on the international location of our designers and brands, their workplace, their inspiration. Each of them, Juan Pablo Quintero, Kellie Smits, Michiel van Malestein, Azul Cadenas, Yoraco González, are inspired by their cities, interacting with the creative partners, culture, architecture, businesses, friends and life in those places.

We like to think that, though it might be irrelevant for some, location plays a part in the creative process. It is the promise of Arré as well, to support those ideas and try to carry the stories and developments that brought them up in the first place. Designed in Barcelona, designed in Berlin, designed in Miami, yes.

But what does Arré? Organises in Rotterdam? Management? carries a Collection? Perhaps a new business model, a new mode for design, our way to contemporary furniture, a different approach. We are, most definitely, working on that.

We believe that we are preparing to become a furniture and contract label. But we are thinking and pondering, looking around and outside, thinking that perhaps there is room for a more collaborative approach, for effective production, for creating good value with these wonderful resources. We have started engaging conversations with our designers, clients, friends, suppliers, producers, design enthousiasts. In Chicago, Barcelona, Rotterdam, Berlin, Vienna, New York City, Kortrijk. Not only because we like to travel (we do!) but also because this journey of Arré has brought us there. We’ll get there.

Hello Berlin!

In a few hours we’ll be part of the great show of Qubique. A new sort of trade fair starting wednesday october 26th for the first time ever in Berlin. With a spectacular venue–decomissioned Tempelhof airport– it is going to be great.

Of course, everyone is working overtime, we are late, there are problems during the last day, the last hour, the last minute. But we are going to be present with the amazing work of Yoraco González. It is going to be his show at his german hometown.

So, pretty soon, more news about it.

Qubique!

We are coming to Qubique Berlin in a couple of weeks!

From October 26th until the 29th, we will be at Tempelhof.

Yoraco González will present his work for outdoor furniture. A great collection of pieces made of remnant wood (another word for waste wood!) of the kind use for flooring. He has team up with Mr. Wood, a leading italian company in wood flooring, to study, classify, design, produce, test, and give shape to these pieces.

It has been an intense project, between Rotterdam, Berlin and Florence, with materials coming from Perú. We are quite excited about the show.

We will be present at the Ventura Berlin zone, located at the entrance of Qubique. Ventura Berlin, organised by the same people of Ventura Lambrate in Milan, is a curated exhibition full of innovative design, products and projects. The ideal place for Yoraco’s work!

Additionally, we will invite visitors to follow the Yoraco’s route in Berlin, to see restaurants, boutiques, galleries and many more interiors which have been designed by Yoraco.

See you there!

Huttenpalast: Silke, Sarah and Yoraco

The Hüttenpalast hotel/»camping in a building» is the talk of the town. Well, the city of Berlin, of course.

Travel blogs, design blogs, Frame magazine, Berlin travel guides, all of them and many more have featured stories about the special place created by Silke and Sarah in Berlin.

Of course, we are proud of this development, where Yoraco González has played an important part. His special refurbishing of three caravans, have been a success within the whole concept presented by Silke Lorenzen and Sarah Vollmer.

Yoraco’s work in Berlin

Our exclusive designer and furniture maker, Yoraco González, continues to fill Berlin with his ideas. He is responsible for a few trendsetting interiors in the German capital and he’s gaining more and more recognition.

At the moment, Arré agency has secured several projects in Berlin where the creativity and expertise of Yoraco is being used. With the support of Arré, Yoraco can concentrate in design and production, his best qualities and potential in full. Arré manages administration, agency, client contact, acquisition, etc.

We are preparing a new collection of outdoor furniture under Yoraco’s name and design. This project will bring Yoraco to Florence, Italy, where he will be working directly on the wood material specially brought to Europe by Andreas Picchi (from the firm Mr. Wood). We are expecting exciting news from Florence. Yoraco’s work tend to be close to nature, close to the character and feel of the wood, and still contemporary and modern.

Huttenpalast Berlin

Yoraco González of Buro-Internacional

Yoraco González, another exclusive designer represented by Arré Agency, is working in a concept hostel in the middle of his hometown Berlin. At the moment in the early stage of work, one of the main attractions of this Huttenpalast are three caravans being refurbished by Yoraco.

Yoraco's caravans

Combining raw cut wood elements and CNC pieces, this one-off installation would serve as hostel units. We’ll keep an eye on this development and would promptly inform about Yoraco, his latest work and previous interior design work in Berlin.
