The original Zunto chair had a nice and stocky presence, which established an identity for the collection. When we began discussing the design of a new table, we thought it would be more interesting to create something that invites these chairs rather than repeating the same language.  In the end, we decided to make a wooden column table with a large trunk in the middle of it.

Mimo is a modular seating system that addresses many simple solutions to the contract sofa market. Our primary interest was its downsizing. There are often cases where large sofa systems encounter difficulties during installation due to the size of the staircases and the curves in the buildings. We managed to produce the sofa in smaller, modular pieces without compromising its comfort. It offers several benefits, including occupying less space, reduced material use, and ease of logistics, to start with.  This was the core of this project and where everything started in our collabroation. As the modules are all made in the same footprint and individual pieces are rotatable, we have infinite possibilities for configurations. NaughtOne offers more than 40 standard options.

The original idea for this project was to use a single extrusion profile only, and I wanted to assemble the profiles to build a product. Due to some physical limitations for the snap-fit and safety, we had to adjust the original idea, but the project's spirit remained. For example, the traverses under the seat and armrests share the same profile. The seat is made of modules, and the width can be easily adjusted. The idea was to create a snap-on furniture system that grows in scale as needed. For example, by adjusting the length of the extrusions, we can imagine the chiar to have a high back or a low back. It can easily be with armrests or without them. Or, by adjusting the leg lengths, it can become a chair or a lounge chiar. We can make a chair or a bench by adding more seat modules. Everything was made possible by this post-production process and its profiles. Link to hydro insagram Link for more info

Today, much of our quality of life is measured through efficiency, but sometimes inefficient acts bring richness and a moment to be at our own pace. This was the intention behind it. This project was selected to ADI Design INDEX 2024.

Many chairs provide a rich experience, but much of it comes from the expressive materiality. I was looking for a borderline between richness and simplicity in this chair, like finding the right amount of salt. img. by Miro Zagnoli

This project was all about questioning how things are made and how we can possibly challnege overlooked questions. Why do we have to produce such a heabvy conical leg to design a column leged table? German WERKZEG Gold Prize winner 2024.

Inspired by Jungle Gym's infinite possibility of inventing games and how to play with them, we wanted to develop a fully customisable shelving system that follows the concept of Toplogie's wearables.

This publication further opens up a dialogue and study I initially explored through my recent exhibition, 'Walking Sticks & Canes'. The booklet features 18 designs staged at the show, the visions behind what this essential tool may be, and includes extended research in an essay by Marco Sammicheli.
