DOROTEA DESK
Design by Roberto Lazzeroni
There are two versions of Dorotea designed by Roberto Lazzeroni: the toilette and the desk, both made of solid American walnut and veneered plywood.
It is a piece of furniture "characterized by a snappy sign, by feminine and sinuous shapes … in the dressing table version a drop-leaf cut out on the top opens to reveal a mirror and a container in white maple. A small bench becomes a comfortable seat."
These are the words of the designer who defines his own design research as "sentimental", because it is guided by the rediscovery of "forgotten" furnishing elements such as the mobile bar, the gueridon, the buffet, the coiffeuse, and the dressing table. Just like Dorotea which, with its dynamic and feminine design, is inspired by the Elegy console.
The turned legs, which are very thin with the foot slightly inclined at the front, are wider in the upper portion to accommodate the 6.5 cm oval top. It consists of a 2 cm frame that runs along the entire silhouette.
DESIGNER
ROBERTO LAZZERONI
Roberto Lazzeroni, born in Pisa, began his professional life with the study of art and architecture in Florence and the interests he developed during his training, in particular in the conceptual art and radical design movements.
In the early 1980s, Lazzeroni made his professional debut with a series of important works in the field of “interior architecture” that immediately attracted attention and were published in Italian and foreign periodicals.
Lazzeroni considers “interior architecture” to be a necessary discipline, a sort of “training field” in which to glean varied experience in materials, techniques, and problems inherent to design in the home.
A fundamental step for anyone approaching the world of product design. Receptive to the history of design and its “signs,” with a personal stylistic flair that Lazzeroni spontaneously defines as “sentimental design.”
It is in fact easy even for the non-expert eye to sense the link between past and future in Roberto Lazzeroni’s projects: his is design that does not parade industrial geometries, but neither does it embody frivolous affectations of aestheticism; it gives objects their correct places in history, in tradition, in an individual and collective autobiography.
Lazzeroni’s peculiar understanding of design led him to specialize in concept development: the ideas underlying the creation of new trademarks. The Cecotti Collection experience, begun in 1988, has since been flanked by work with other companies. Roberto Lazzeroni’s life in design is a highly dynamic professional itinerary that, today, sees him involved in many areas, including design collaboration with prestigious firms, art direction, and interior and contract design in many parts of the world.
