WHEN MATERIAL MEETS DESIGN

The material is nothing without good design.
We selected six manufacturing companies that interpret this concept at best through materials' innovation and innovative production processes to create extraordinary design objects.
The different materials with typical characteristics of eco-sustainability and upcycling transform with surprising methods and results.

Rice husk, aluminium, cardboard, corn and cork come to life.

“940” chair by Gio Ponti

Mediolanum table by Studio Ideazione

Produced by BBB Italia
Distributed by Design Italy

The 940 chair was designed by one of the
most influential architects of the twentieth century,
Gio Ponti.

It is presented in five different lacquering versions
in combination with as many coordinated fabrics

and in a new outdoor version
the 940 chair by Gio Ponti (Resysta).

The 940 in Resysta is made using a material from the husk of rice
(shell of the grain),  perfectly eco-sustainable and able to withstand
the action of atmospheric agents and salty air.

The 940 in Resysta has the exact semblance of wood,  the same tactile sensation, it is immortalized and fireproof, and therefore it is the ideal chair for all outdoor uses.

Producing a few or unique pieces different from each other hasthe exact industrial cost as the large series.
Cyrcusmakes the most of the materials and reduces processing waste, producingjust what is purchased. Each Cyrcus product is designed exclusively byour network of authors and customized according to the customer's needsfor dimensions, materials and finishes.
