Essenza by Rampinelli EdizioniDesigned by Antonio De MarcoDimensions: D 13.5 x H 32 cmMaterials: Metal.ANTONIO DE MARCOEssenza represents a bridge between two seemingly distant worlds. Its presence evokes a sense of harmony between the strength of metal and the welcoming familiarity of wood, transforming its form into a work of craftsmanship that narrates the encounter between seemingly opposing materials. The surface, originally smooth, hides small knots and grooves that invite fingers to explore the contrast between the coldness of metal and the evocative memory of wood. To the touch, one discovers the surprising narration of materials, a tactile symphony that challenges expectations and senses.COLLECTION 2023:The 2023 Collection marks a new and captivating chapter in Rampinelli Edizioni’s journey. Eleven internationally renowned designers have reinterpreted Rampinelli’s intricate workings, giving life to a series of furnishing complements with remarkable refinement and sculptural nature. Guided by Rampinelli Spa’s mastery and experience, these eleven talents have shaped a wide range of objects celebrating the art of steel craftsmanship. Each piece has been conceived with the same dedication reserved for a work of art, paying particular attention to details and challenging steel processes and finishes to the extent of transforming imperfections into decorative elements in some cases. The result is a collection of small furnishing complements that transform steel into authentic works of art, capturing its intrinsic strength and sublimating the art of craftsmanship. This new Rampinelli Edizioni collection embodies a brilliant convergence of creative visions, paying homage to steel crafting techniques that blend industrial techniques with artisanal wisdom, a testament to the passion and commitment of the involved designers.Designers: Giorgio Biscaro, Antonio De Marco, Odo Fioravanti, Claudio Larcher, Martinelli Venezia, Chiara Moreschi, Studio Pari, Filippo Protasoni, Sovrappensiero, Mario Scairato, Philippe Tabet.RAMPINELLI EDIZIONIRampinelli Edizioni originates from an idea by Sovrappensiero Design Studio and Gabriele Rampinelli: to explore and reinterpret the complex workings of the metalworking industry to venture into the world of design and furnishings. The passion and ambition to broaden their horizons compelled Rampinelli to accept this challenge. Hence, Rampinelli Edizioni was born, a furniture brand merging the technical and production skills of Rampinelli Spa with Sovrappensiero’s contemporary design. The success of the initial experiment led Rampinelli Edizioni to expand its collection and engage in subsequent years with new collaborations with other internationally renowned designers to bring about the 2023 collection. The products highlight plasma cutting, CNC milling, and manual TIG welding processes.
