MARECHIARO SHELVING UNIT
MARECHIARO SHELVING UNIT
Designed by Philippe Nigro
The Marechiaro project is a shelving unit / a screen / a palisade / an architecture / a domestic landscape that questions the traditional use of the bookshelf and its presence in space.
The system is a screen-cabinet which on one side is aimed at storing books and objects that are dear to us, and on the other side is a screen made up of wooden slats assembled in openwork to maintain a certain transparency. This dual use, this dual identity allows free and flexible use.
DESIGNER
PHILIPPE NIGRO
Studied Applied Arts (bac F12, BTS Design industriel à La Martinière - Lyon, DSAA Design produit & mobilier - école Boulle), during which time he designed the 'Ailleurs' garden in Chaumont-sur-Loire and the Flac light (winner of a Habitat competition) in conjunction with C. Gardet.
Since 1999 he has worked as a freelance designer, and also with studio De Lucchi in Milan, where he has participated in numerous projects developing products, furniture, lighting, interior architecture, events and scenography for Olivetti, Giordano... At the same time he has also worked on projects for Nube Italia, Felicerossi, NavaDesign.
In 2008, he was awarded 2nd prize in the 'Autogrill' restaurant competition, with M. Biffi. Since 2005, long-term furniture projects have been supported by the VIA, thanks to which he was able to design the Spiral shelf, Storage-Unit chest and Intersection divans and, in January 2009, the Twin-Chairs chairs and the Tréteau universal table base.
Certain of his projects have been put into production, such as Cross-Unit (Sintesi) or Intersection, from which sprang the Confluences collection of upholstery, produced by Ligne Roset.
INFORMATION
DETAL
The system enables to create a space within space : thanks to these three modules (straight, concave and convex) the compositions offer infinite freedom in the creation of alcoves and perforated walls while adapting to the requirements of the architecture of the place. We can thus easily delimit a workspace / a living room, a lounge / a dining room, a dressing room / a bedroom. In two-tone, the wooden slats add movement and surprise.
