Minimal Techno

Minimal Techno is a prototype armchair made from recycled solid steel and repurposed bamboo hardwood flooring. The frame has a matte black coating, and brushed brass screws hold the bamboo slats in place. The thin steel and bamboo give the seat flexibility, so the chair stays comfortable during long periods of sitting. The structure is strong and has been tested to hold weights above 250 pounds. Japanese minimalism and the use of negative space guided the form. Only three materials are used, which keeps the armchair simple to reproduce.

Vague

Vague is a backless chair formed by continuous structural curves. Each viewing angle reveals a different harmonious composition. Vague is made of steel tubes with a diameter of 5/16 inch, shaped by bending and joined by welding. The surface receives an electrostatic paint or a copper coating finish. The dimensions are 400 mm in width, 390 mm in depth and 420 mm in height. The curves were inspired by the ripples of a water droplet falling into a river and by the structure of leaves. Vague can be used as a seat or as a decorative object.

Livre

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.

Memoria

Memoria 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.

Wall Shelf

Parachute

Parachute 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.

Graphic

Graphic 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.
