Vincent Bosmans, designer, about the MM-edition by Machado Muñoz for Authentage

A masterful combination of timeless elegance and craftsmanship

The collaboration between Gonzalo Machado, Mafalda Muñoz and Authentage was born out of a shared passion for craftsmanship, timeless design and sustainability. This partnership resulted in an exceptional collection that, at the interface between tradition and modernity, offers a new approach to sustainable luxury. "The products in this collection are more than just functional lighting fixtures; they are art objects that enrich the interior. They create significant added value to the overall picture of each unique interior project," says Vincent Bosmans - designer at Authentage. 

How the partnership came about

The idea for a joint collection rolled out of the close collaboration between Mafalda, Gonzalo and Vincent over the past few years. Their complementarity in their approach to customisation, refinement and sustainability emerged clearly. "We wanted to develop a collection that reflects the aesthetics of both Authentage and Machado Muñoz, while also adding a new dimension in terms of luxury and design," says Vincent.

Durable and timeless art objects

The joint design process felt challenging and extremely inspiring at the same time. "Normally I work solo on Authentage's designs, but it was refreshing to collaborate with Mafalda & Gonzalo," Vincent explains. 'It was a long and intense preparation phase, but we are very proud of the final result. They are all works of art, with a very refined, luxurious finish. Designing products of such quality takes time

The designs are based on classic principles, to which a modern twist was added. The result is a collection that combines and reflects three different styles: classic, contemporary and transitional, which is a mix between classic and contemporary. "We wanted to develop a collection that not only catches on today, but also remains relevant across generations due to its timeless aesthetic and durable quality ," says Vincent.

This approach resulted in designs with the allure of art objects that resonate in terms of both appearance and lighting effect, not just filling in the space but transforming it. They are not simply meant to be functional, but also add real value to interiors through their aesthetic power and atmospheric ability.

A new step for authentage

For Authentage, this joint collection marks an exciting new phase. It opens doors to a wider international market and allows the brand to further raise its profile in the design world. "By partnering with top designers like Gonzalo Machado and Mafalda Muñoz, we have not only further refined our own design methods but also broadened our horizons," says Vincent. "This collaboration puts us in touch with a new audience and allows us to show Authentage from a new side."
