NEWS FROM STOCKHOLM!
31/01/2011
In apertura della Stockholm Design Week Luca Nichetto inaugura Synapsis, Stockholm Meets Venice, mostra personale con cui egli reinterpreta due culture del design – quella italiana e quella svedese – e ne sottolinea la vicinanza grazie alla collaborazione con quattro storiche e prestigiose aziende: Bosa, Ceramiche Refin, Venini e Skultuna. Per quest’ultima Luca Nichetto ha disegnato Timeline, la collezione di ciotole multiuso in ottone, scegliendo proprio Synapsis come scenario per la presentazione ufficiale del progetto.
La Design Week di Stoccolma è anche l’occasione per sancire la nuova collaborazione con Mabeo Furniture, azienda del Botswana per la quale Luca Nichetto ha realizzato Ipe, una collezione che comprende uno sgabello e una panca in legno.
Il designer rafforza infine il sodalizio con Offecct grazie a Green Pads, progetto che rientra nel nuovo concept "Oasis" dell'azienda svedese. Green Pads è un sistema di ripiani in alluminio, che va a rivoluzionare il tradizionale concetto di contenitore per piante e fiori, pensato per creare spazi “verdi” all’interno di ambienti contract.
During Stockholm Design Week, Nichetto will inaugurate his show “Synapsis, Stockholm Meets Venice”, a personal exhibition in which he attempts to reinterpret two design cultures – those of Italy and Sweden – by underscoring their commonalities through the display of projects he has produced for four prestigious, historic companies: Bosa, Ceramiche Refin, Venini and Skultuna. For the last of these Nichetto has designed Timeline, a new collection of multi-use bowls in bronze, whose appearance in “Synapsis” will mark its official presentation to the public.
Stockholm Design Week has also afforded the opportunity for Nichetto to shine a spotlight on his new collaboration with Mabeo Furniture, the Botswanan company for which he designed IPE, a collection of wooden objects that includes a stool and a bench.
At Design Week the Venetian designer will also reinforce his collaborative relationship with Offecct through the presentation of Green Pads, which is a component of the company's new "Oasis" initiative. Green Pads is an aluminum shelving system, that provides indoor “green space” by revolutionizing our traditional concept of pots for plants and flowers for contract use.
