Tacito is a storage unit.‎Materials: frame (sides, back and shelves) in painted MDF, doors in felt, feet in anodized aluminium.‎“When looking at storage furniture, what we usually call sideboards, I couldn’t help noticing the hinges which allow the doors to open: these standard metal mechanisms totally detracted from the overall elegance of the product”, says designer Alessandro Stabile.‎And the hinge is indeed the unique aspect of Tacito, the new project designed by Alessandro Stabile: a collection of two pieces of storage furniture designed for the living and dining spaces and the office.‎Five years of prototypes, three injection moulds, an extrusion die, a bending mould, four thermoforming moulds and two cold-cutting dies.‎ In the words of Eugenio Perazza, Tacito is a “Better Normal”, whose simplicity of form reveals the greatness of its intelligent and cutting-edge design.‎A design with powerful aesthetic and material appeal, as well as a clear functional value: Tacito offers the utmost practicality and remarkable acoustic comfort owing to the sound-absorbing material of its doors.‎Without a doubt, the doors represent its key innovation: made with compressed recycled polyester using the same technology used to make sound-absorbing panels, they are entirely sheathed in fabric, front and back, as part of a single production process.‎ The fabric therefore becomes both an aesthetic and technical component, acting as a connecting hinge.‎The hinge is positioned at the centre of the sideboard, and magnets concealed within the edge of the body and the door ensure seamless closure of the storage space.‎ The handle runs around the entire edge of the door and fits into the bevelled edge of the piece, making it easy to grip from any position.‎
