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.

Cork’s Second Life

them  into design furnishing accessories.

and reusable in countless applications,

from green building to crafts,

from clothing to the mechanical and aerospace sectors

and finally, in contemporary design.

ROOM 2


Cyrcus is a movement/company founded by the designer DenisSantachiara, which uses only 2.0 suppliers, making widespread digitalmanufacturing* realistic.

Creating,producing, exchanging and consuming design thus takes on forms neverknown before, new and truly sustainable, or even impossible shapes withtraditional techniques. The use of digital fabrication also allows asubstantial lowering of the economy of scale, the limit of traditionaldesign. 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. Shown a large laser-cutaluminium plate (1.5m x 3m, 10mm thick) gives origin to 363 pieces usedto assemble
218 different products
