Poltrona Frau, Cappellini, Cassina … the entire family of brand and design of the Poltrona Frau Group in a big space during the Fuori Salone. A great collection of both old and new products.
[ milan design village ] 12 to 17 April 2011 in the Village Design in Milan Via Savona, 56.
Designed in 1996, Knotted Chair is one of the first projects designed by Marcel Wanders for Cappellini. Since then, the collaboration between the designer and the company still continues, with projects that are innovative and alluring. Now, 15 years and 1001 Knotted Chairs later, the first production of the piece will end. The final 25 Knotted Chairs in this version will be sold during the Milano Design Week.

Cappellini presents the 2011 collection as if it were in a giant box of sweets: fallen from above, one flap open to reveal its delightful contents. Groups of objects in different colours, shapes and materials, communicating with one another, creating a fun and playful setting against the silver-walled background of a giant magenta booth.
14 products by 11 designers once again reaffirm the adventurous spirit of Cappellini and its innate ability to surprise us with vibrant avant-garde projects, each of which draws strength from the richness of its language. The magical and delicate language of Nendo is apparent in the lines and sinuous curves of the Sekitei chair and the straight sharp lines of Thin Black Table; two products in which dotted lines give shape and the substance. Then there is the oriental influence of the Doshi Levien duo, who this year present their first design for Cappellini with the sophisticated Cape armchair.
Another two new designers are Raphael Navot with POH, a sculptured object, and Daphna Laurens with the Tafelstukken range of lamps: both prototypes strongly characterized by the presence of natural materials such as wood. This is a journey which will ideally follow that of Martin Vallin’s The Secret Clubhouse chair, presented as a prototype in 2010 and now part of the permanent collection. Also presented are the technical materials and angular forms of the Kobe table by Leonardo Talarico and the already famous sculptured Tron Armchair by Dror, now industrialized for mass production.
This is opposed to the “supernormality” of the now iconic projects of Jasper Morrison who, with the Bac One and Bac Two chairs, adds two more elements to the Bac family. Last but not least, living room furniture; the new system of Burkina Faso microcontainers by Giulio Cappellini is colouful, contemporary and functional, while the Cuba 25 by Rodolfo Dordoni and Basket by the Bouroullec brothers each offer two completely opposing conceptions and interpretations of the sofa. Open and closed, but able coexist and interact in harmony with the other elements of the Cappellini collection, the bookcases and the storage systems.

Studio Drift will present “Flylight”, an interactive light installation, at Ventura Lambrate during Design Week Milan.
The installation is composed of 160 glass tubes and based on group behavior of animals. The lights interact with the viewers through sensors that translate changes in the installation’s environment to computer stimulations that drive the electronics of the lights making them react to the stimulus as if they were a flock of starling or a school of fish.
The installation will be presented at the ‘FOO – flight of Objects’ Dutch designers’ group exhibition at Ventura Lambrate, Milan, 12-17 April.

The Bouroullec brothers working with Mattiazzi will present ‘Osso’ (engl.: ‘Bone’), a new solid wooden chair for the small, family-owned company that has been manufacturing chairs for others since about forty years. The chair’s processing is based on highly skillful handcraft combined with a sophisticated CNC set of tools.
“We were particularly interested by the fact that all the equipment is powered by solar energy and that the wood is coming from the surrounding areas to be carefully selected without the use of any chemical treatments. They came back to the basics and this is precisely what piqued our interest and our fascination for the Mattiazzi family’s endeavor”, the Bouroullec’s explain.
“As designers, we feel involved in supporting such valiant micro-structures that are always on the edge as they try to adjust to a constantly changing market.”
