Veneer vases, by cristina celestino.

The Milan-based studio Attico is the work of Cristina Celestino, who showed her odd and lovely Veneer vases at Salone Milan this year. I’ve been keeping tabs on her ever since, following how she applies the “industrial design quality and research skills” she learned in school as an architecture student “to traditional materials to generate a new projectual philosophy.” What that means can be seen in the aforementioned Veneer vases, which are composed of layers of wood, carbon, glass fiber and adhesive films that are directly wrapped onto steel spindles and polymerized, a process that, in very simple terms, combines many molecules into a new molecular compound. Here, she applies an industrial process to a domestic object with a combination of both domestic and industrial materials. The pieces almost look like offcuts of a larger fabrication, but Celestino’s pattern work, the stripes of color, material and texture, lend each piece a singularity; In fact, no two pieces are alike.

Celestino has been busy this year, coming out with six more new projects, including Luna Park, a seating system inspired by carnival bumper cars. See more of her work.

about Perrin Drumm

Perrin Drumm is nothing if not a road trip enthusiast. After moving from her hometown of LA to NY and to LA again, she hiked through half a dozen National Parks, snow-shoed a sizable portion of the Adirondacks, and resisted the overwhelming charm of the South to get back to Brooklyn, where she struggles to learn the trumpet, aspires to be a better Scrabble player, and lives and writes, and remains, as of yet, catless.
