Written Pages

Essential shapes, rigorous geometries, minimal design for a collection that owes its expressiveness to the sophisticated balance of proportions and the skillful workmanship of a unique material such as steel. Pagine Scritte is made up of three tables of different heights that can create multiple combinations by interlocking and interpenetrating with different orientations and directions. Like written lines on a page, the parallel metal bars, tapered at the ends and with a wider section in the center, outline the surface to give life to the three-dimensional supporting surface.

Solidity and lightness coexist in the tables made of brushed steel, which in the central part of the support surface have a burnished decoration, a change of chromatic intensity, with variable width based on the three different configurations. The theme of stripes, protagonist of the research of antoniolupi and Gumdesign finds a complete three-dimensionality in this project. The timeless image of the tables becomes a compositional tool that allows for a constant dialogue with the light and with the other surfaces that make up the space. Textures of light and shadow are projected onto the floor, embellishing it with an immaterial and constantly changing decoration.
