Rubik Module 1 Vertical Structure in Stainless Steel by Metalmorphosis StudioDimensions: D 35 x W 35 x H 135 cm.Materials: Stainless steel.Rubik_Module1_ is a vertical modular structure composed of two cubic volumes connected by a linear steel framework. The piece is inspired by the logical principle behind the Rubik’s Cube: a system based on simple geometric units capable of generating multiple configurations. Rather than replicating the iconic puzzle, the project translates its conceptual mechanism into spatial design. Identical cubic forms are arranged along a structural axis.Designed as an independent element, Rubik_Module1_ can also be combined with a second module to form a larger architectural composition.Through this modular logic, the object becomes part of a reconfigurable system where individual units interact to generate new spatial structures.Andrea Nicolini (b. 2000) is an Italian artist, product designer and the founder of Metalmorphosis Studio, an independent project focused on the creation of furniture and sculptural objects in metal. Working primarily with steel, Nicolini develops pieces that exist between functional design and sculptural presence, exploring the relationship between structure, material and the human body. His work often draws from anatomical andindustrial references, where structural elements become the foundation for furniture forms. The Studio was founded with the intention of rethinking the role of furniture within contemporary space. In a context where many design objects have become purely aesthetic elements, often reduced to visual decoration or backdrops, Metalmorphosis aims to create objects that possess a physical and conceptual presence. Each piece is conceived as part of a dialogue between space, object and person, where furniture becomes an active element capable of shaping the atmosphere of its environment.Design philosophy: The core of Nicolini's practice lies in a process of subtraction. By reducing forms to their essential structural elements, the work aims to reveal what normally remains invisible: tension, balance and emotional charge. Metal becomes the central medium of this research - cold, rigid and industrial by nature, it is transformed through manual processes into objects that appear almost skeletal, where structure itselfbecomes the visual language.Practice: All works are entirely handcrafted in mild steel, combining traditional fabrication techniques and the most advanced technologies through a sculptural approach to form. The practice spans collectible design furniture and metal sculptures, developed through ongoing series such as Anatomy_, Geometry_, and Human_Traces_.
