  • "Sushi" / Alessi Through an iconic and emotive identity, "Sushi" celebrates the tool that produces one of nature's most powerful and admired elements: Fire.
    Sleek, simple and fluid shapes, characterize an object full of collective-memory, comfort and beauty. Its body, colors and material combinations emphasize its domestic nature, reminding us of the warmth and emotiveness present in home-appliances since the 50's. All these characteristics are embodied in a compact, pocket sized product, suitable for either domestic or portable uses.

  • "Kastor" / Alessi A Playful metaphore that reinterprets a classic desk typology. “Kastor” is poised and ready to gnaw on the tip of the pencil. The design has been studied in great detail: eyes, teeth, paws and tail all contribute to defining the animal’s form. It is practical and easy to use: by placing the pencil in the beaver’s mouth, you can sharpen it with extreme ease thanks to the sharpener located inside. Thanks to the Sharpener’s solid construction, it also makes an ideal paperweight.

  • "Harmony" / Poliform This chair joins chaos and order in a symbiotic relationship, full of expression and rhythm .
    Chaos turns the chair into a living object just by changing the point of view of the user. Order gives shape to a solid structure at the base and a soft, sophisticated and comfortable surface on the seat.
    Despite its complex layout, the base is made from the repetition of just one element rotated, that when welded together, creates a strong structure with a very thin metallic rod.
    Thanks to the 3d veneered technology present at the seat, Poliform's technicians achieved an organic surface that is very comfortable and resistant, available in more than 30 different colors and wood finishings.
    This product is full of memory and of both technological and expressive innovation.

  • "Ics" & "Ipsilon" / Poliform This wooden stools are a nice statement of what I like in a project: Emotiveness, simplicity and cleverness in the way they are built.
    In these objects, the shape and the relation between all elements, have a clear structural-communicative purpose that defines the object, openly declaring the way they're built and creating a strong icon out of it.
