Livre was born from the idea to blend together the desire for the concept of an Asian-inspired product with the actual perspective of GallottieRadice. The result of this is an armchair that could be define hybrid for the craftmanship applied to the solid wood base; the upper part is instead an enveloping armchair, that feels like a cocoon, very elegant in its shape in contrast with the base which is thick but at the same time tapered, interesting and very soft as a whole.
Continue readingMemoria is a chair made from concrete canvas, a textile that is normally used in civil construction for its durability and resistance. The chair is shaped over a mold that is three-dimensionally printed in recyclable PLA. The concrete canvas is applied to the mold and left to set for at least 24 hours. An epoxy resin is then added to fill the pores and increase solidity. Memoria measures 1100 by 900 by 708 millimeters and is impact resistant and waterproof. The design combines sustainability, function and new sensory experiences.
Continue readingParachute is a wall shelf made of sheet metal. When a section is in use, the plank of that section drops down and hangs in place. The hanging plank holds a coat, a magazine or similar items and keeps them from falling. The surface carries colored stripes separated by thin spaces, so the shelf recalls the graphic appearance of a modern parachute and can also be read as wall art. Parachute measures 790 mm in width, 30 mm in depth and 220 mm in height. The name joins the ideas of protecting and falling.
Continue readingGraphic is a sofa designed for reception areas and living rooms. The form is simple and geometric, without ornament. The backrest derives from a circular shape extended to three times its radius, which gives the structured seat a lighter appearance. The frame is made of reforestation woods, with Lyptus in the structural parts and Pinus in the other parts. The seat holds foam of 30 density, and the feet are carbon steel painted with automotive paint. The cover is natural fabric. The gap between the seat and the floor makes cleaning easier.
Continue readingWings is a leisure chair inspired by the movement of butterflies. The form refers to butterfly wings in different states, giving a solid object a sense of life. The back is connected to the middle of the seat, and the seat surface opens on both sides to wrap the hips for greater comfort. The legs use a double layer support that increases stability. The chair is produced as one piece by 3D printing in blue translucent plastic. The outer surface carries a striped texture that recalls wing patterns and increases friction.
Continue readingSharing Joy is a lounge chair designed for homes with pets. The chair creates a shared space where a person and a cat can rest and play at the same time without disturbing each other. The form uses simple geometry and soft edges, with an O-shaped element inspired by the curled posture of a sleeping cat. The O-shaped opening in the backrest forms a tunnel for cats and can also hold magazines and pillows. The wide right armrest serves as a jumping platform for cats or as a small side table. The main frame is made of bent and welded pipe.
