Camaleon is a multifunctional and customizable modular system that, thanks to the various overlapping structures, allows you to freely create tailored multiple compositions, thus obtaining planters, containers, dividers, and shelves in metal and teak.
DESIGNERS
ALESSANDROANDREUCCI AND CHRISTAN HOISL
A deep friendship and shared vision of the project based on the study of the synthesis between form and function, is what underlies the collaboration between Alessandro Andreucci (1968), mechanical engineer and designer, and Christian Hoisl (1961), industrial designer. They have worked together since 2004 between Italy (Carpi) and Germany (Munich).
Alessandro Andreucci graduated in mechanical engineering at the University of Bologna, with an experimental thesis in biomechanics. After graduating, he moved to Germany, to Munich, where he began working as a trainee at the System Design studio, of which Christian Hoisl was the co-owner.
In 2000 he returned to Italy, to iGuzzini illuminazione, working mainly on projects by Renzo Piano in Paris (RPBW) and by Ron Arad in London. In 2004 he opened his own industrial design studio.
Christian Hoisl graduated at the University of Applied Sciences of Industrial Design in Munich. From 1987 to 1992 he worked with Herbert Schultes and Martin Dettinger on the development of the System 25 for Bulthaup. Then, with the System Design studio, he developed kitchens, bathrooms, offices, and outdoor furniture. In 2000 he founded his own studio in Munich.

MAINTENANCE
STEEL
To keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend storing it indoors and in a dry place during the winter to prevent condensate from forming. Before the winter and on a quarterly basis, if the products are kept near the sea, it is recommended to clean the metal surfaces with a soft cloth using water or detergent and protect them with Vaseline oil or car wax.
ALUMINIUM
To keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend cleaning it regularly; more often in very damp locations with a marine climate. It is recommended to clean the surfaces using a soft cloth with water or mild detergents. Prolonged and continuous exposure to intense UV radiation or very low temperatures can affect the initial characteristics of the coloured coating, which is made from polyester. We recommend cleaning and storing the products in sheltered places during prolonged periods of non-use and during the winter.
TEAK
As it is a natural material, it could have different nuances from one product to another or between components of the same product. In case of sudden changes in temperature and humidity, moreover, cracks may also occur. If it does not receive any maintenance treatment with the periodic application of common and specific oil-based protective products, the surface will turn into a silvery-grey finish that can be removed with a light sanding surface and subsequent polishing with an hessian cloth.
Small stains caused by oil or other food products must be removed immediately, before the wood absorbs them, by sanding the concerned area and by polishing it with an hessian cloth. Stains from coffee, juices, natural drinks, without food additives, can be promptly removed with water and a soft cloth. When the wood gets wet for the first time, it is normal for the surface to become slightly rough when it dries; the initial polished-effect can be restored with light sanding surface and subsequent polishing with an hessian cloth.
Teak is a natural material that absorbs water and is rich in oils. Over time, these oils, by a natural process can rise to the surface and stain the cushions that have been used. Stains on the cushions can be removed using soap and water.To keep the product in good condition for a long time, we recommend storing it indoors and in a dry place during the winter to prevent condensate from forming.
