Milano Design Week 2015 – Ventura XV – Ventura Lambrate
Vide is a ceramic and concrete umbrella stand designed with Paola Monaco di Arianello.
The idea originated while observing the simple and instinctive gesture of putting an umbrella in its place, and develops into neutral elements that combine perfectly with the home space, recalling its construction material.
Ceramic and concrete were applied to the simple shapes of the two compositional elements: a soft cozy top, and a solid compact base.
A wooden accessory completes the project: an element with straightforward lines that combines perfectly with the soft ceramic top. Telling gestures implicit in the surrounding space turns into easily understandable objects where design dissolves into a behaviour, and builds in this way a relationship with people.
Technical description: umbrella stand composed by 2 overlap elements, white glazed cramic top and cement base. Perforated top to allow the insert of umbrellas. Also available with a decorative linear accessory in maple wood, natural finishing or white lacquered. 2 smaller molded accessories are applied to the frame, where to hang umbrellas or other (cm ø 1,5cm x h 80).
