Hippos, Hippos Wood
Designed by Marconato & Zappa, the Hippos dining table catches the eye thanks to its archetypal shape which blends the clear and regular lines of the base with the delicate oval shape of the legs. This composition gives the table a dynamic silhouette with great visual strength, capable of changing from slim to solid depending on the light, the surrounding space and the point from which it is observed. The different finishes available for the base of the table – from the lacquered version to the highly prized solid wood (Hippos Wood) – all enhance the craftsmanship required to produce it along with the painstaking attention to detail. The support surface is available in a range of options including glass, ceramic, marble and wood, thereby guaranteeing the ability to adapt to any environment.
Element
Within Element, designer Alain Gilles transforms the classic coffee table base into a characteristic element: a cylinder in concrete or travertine finish becomes the focal point of the accessory, on which the wooden structure rests. A game of perspectives gives Element the ability to change shape depending on the point of view, a characteristic shared by many products created by the Belgian designer. The coffee table is available in two different heights and in combinations of Canaletto walnut and carbon oak, which can be freely combined with concrete or marble to adapt to any context.
Alma
Alma is an elegant floor-mounted clothes hanger that draws inspiration from the fascinating world of plants, whose natural vitality it evokes through rigorous formal research. It consists of a concrete base on which the four solid wood stems with geometric profiles stand in contrast and which come in different heights. Thanks to the different orientations and sinuous lines, a highly dynamic spiral effect is created, in which the concrete base acts as a pivot. Alma is an accessory with a sophisticated and elegant personality that becomes a totemic presence, ideal for “enlivening” both residential environments and accommodation facilities.
Groove
The elements of the system have been designed with a focus on the linear, graphic purity created by the wooden modules that form the drawers, sides and top, resting on a metal structure that serves as a base. The simple geometry of the bedside tables and dresser set emphasises their practical function: this is mainly the case with the grooves on the front section, which are particularly highlighted by the design and serve as handles without being visible.
Aureo
The Aureo collection, consisting of a drawer chest and bedside table designed by Matteo Nunziati, is inspired by the mathematical/geometric concept of the Golden Ratio: a system on which the proportion of all spaces dedicated to human life is based, with the intent of creating a balanced, yet functional standard. The Aureo bedside table and matching dresser are simple, single-block pieces, partitioned by the handle which divides them into sections. The simple, elegant shapes and details, like the ceramic top and metal handle, are offset by a contemporary design with traditional undertones conveyed by its minimalism and purity.
