BCool
Inspired by countries with very hot weather, this mini cooler is designed for 33-cl bottles. In order to create the pocket of air that is necessary to keep the bottle’s contents cold over an extended period of time, the cooler distances the bottle from its walls through the use of small internal ribs, an idea inspired by inverting the employment of similarly shaped elements to dissipate heat in personal computers.

Essence
The collection sets about reinterpreting some of the most representative tools employed in artisanal glass and ceramic craftsmanship.The result of his efforts is a group of vases, bowls, candle holders and small objects of interior design in which the materials employed are brought into harmony with the designer’s Venetian roots, thereby reflecting what has always characterized his approach to design: a constant dialogue with the people involved in the physical process of production.

NUANCE
Nuance is a new concept in upholstered seating. Nuance is available in two versions: one designed to be used with a table, and a ‘lounge’ version- lower, wider and more welcoming. The upholstery of Nuance incorporates a subtle range of colours thanks to the careful workmanship involved in utilising fabric off-cuts. Nuance combines a strong ergonomic approach with visual appeal and the hand-made tradition of the master craftsman, giving extra value to the product as well as minimising waste.
