Henge presents Checkmate, the wall panel designed by Massimo Castagna – a distinctive symbol of the Italian high-end furniture and accessories brand’s savoir-faire.
Checkmate is a bold reinterpretation of tradition, combining precious materials and advanced technologies to redefine the concept of contemporary luxury. Its wall solution stands out for its sculptural macro geometric pattern, infusing character and personality into any space. The wall panel, crafted from stone, conveys a sense of monumentality and grandeur, enriching the space with a strong presence. Although the paneling is crafted from stone, the innovative technology used in its creation allows for a surprising lightness, challenging traditional expectations of heavy materials by combining visual strength with functionality. The panels are available in materials such as black steel, thermowood oak (Oak Thermowood), Travertino Rapolano (a Tuscan natural stone known for its warm tones and unique veins), and Apuan Black (another premium Tuscan stone, characterized by subtle veins), exemplifying the meeting of craftsmanship and innovation.
A key feature of Checkmate is its versatility: ideal for both residential contexts and contract projects, it offers the possibility to integrate functional elements such as built-in lighting and customised accessories, making it a solution that combines aesthetics and practicality. The scope for customisation extends to structural details, such as concealed doors and storage spaces.
Thanks to its steel structure and material finishes, Checkmate creates a sophisticated contrast between solidity and visual lightness. This makes it not only a decorative element but also a creative and dynamic system, capable of transforming any wall into a three-dimensional focal point within the space.
