Designed by Marialaura Irvine, Studio Irvine
Fusto Bookshelf I, winner of the ADA2020, is part of a collection of modular system in ultra high performing cement mortar. UHPC tabletop and base colored in the mixture and sandblasted.
Each item is hand treated and is protected with water repellent products to reduce the absorption of oily substances and to minimise the making of stains. Fusto is the series that introduces the new design approach.As in classical architecture, Fusto is the column that holds tables, consoles, bookcases and pedestals.

MARIALAURA ROSSIELLO, STUDIO IRVINE
Creative Director
Graduated in architecture in Naples under Riccardo Dalisi. From the poetry of design and a deep respect for tradition and history, in 2000 she was catapulted into the capital of italian design for a master in strategic design at the Politecnico.
Concreteness became a challenge, marketing, communication and strategy the keynote.
For a number of years she collaborated with italian design brands, and grew accustomed to consider the product within a comprehensive corporate process. Then, after meeting James Irvine, she moved on tiptoe into a different, british atmosphere.
In 2011 she became a partner of his firm, where industrial products were the throbbing heart of design. Today Marialaura runs studio Irvine and works with clients such as Muji, Amorim, Yamakawa, Matteo Brioni, Offecct.

Volumes and proportions are integrated in a timeless geometry, enriched with facets that make the colour vibrate in a game of lights and shadows.
COLOR AND MATERIAL
-Forma&Cemento's products are handmade in Ultra High Performing Cement mortar! Our production process is completely artisanal and for this reason each piece is unique and no two are the same. To preserve the beauty of our concrete and highlight its peculiar features we use colour pigments which are poured directly into the concrete mixture. -Any imperfections on the surface such as chromatic variations, porosity, fine cracks, and granulations of different colors are characteristics of the material and of the artisan process;for this reason they are not to be considered defects.
