- FF 2013 – Rossana Orlandi - Piet Hein Eek.
From the Beams Collection Piet Hein Eek’s The Waste Beam
cabinet looks like a pile of beams and has a geometric pattern, as opposed to
the round trunk pattern. Continuing new insights mean that the way the body is
made is a lot more elegant than the tree trunk cabinet.

Orlandi – BCXSY. Foster Collection
designed by BCXSY in collaboration with Ibuki. Wooden Foster cases are made from Kitayama Sugi, a cedar that is
typical of Kyoto, one of the most prestigious types of wood in Japan. Each case features a ‘slice’ of the raw,
un-styled wood, paying homage to the long tradition and exclusivity of the
material The case functions both as a storage place and as a stage for
displaying the treasures within.

- Foster Collection– BCXSY. The Foster
ceramic pouring vessels are symmetrical in form, with two mirrored spouts on
either side. The light-colored liquid clay is poured through one of the spouts
before firing, and the resulting pattern is a permanent reference to the
asymmetrical function of the vessel; one side for pouring, one side for
holding. The spouts on the salad bowl function both as a carrying handles and
useful nooks in which to rest serving utensils.

Orlandi – Bokja. Bokja’s The Migration
Collection references a world and its people forever on the move.
Inspired by a legacy as old as time. Bokja addresses the phenomena of putting
your family and possessions on the move, in search of a new place to call
home. The pieces themselves become
bundles of dreams and hopes portrayed in embroideries and fabrics with a tender
rawness to the materials and emotions behind them.
Above. The Migration sofa is much more than a piece of furniture; it embodies
the concept of migration and travel. The sofa appears to carry a burden of
rolled up rugs and bedding on its ‘back’ and the drawer at the base evokes a
suitcase full of clothes. The ‘wings’ on each side are flexible and can flap in
and out, like a bird on the wing or the rudder of a plane or ship!

Orlandi – Tete De Bois. “The idea came up while working on furniture mock up.
Handling and cutting some wooden laths and washers, and getting inspiration
from the architectural element of brise soleil, the aim was to try and design,
with the help of a string, a curved shape.
Here came the intuition to apply
this concept to create an absolutely original headwear. A comfortable and
adjustable piece of art to wear, resulting from the combination of industrial
design, architecture and fashion design. Entirely conceived, developed and
produced in Italy.” Andrea Deppieri.
