AMDL CIRCLE

Thank you, Haworth, for inviting me and AMDL CIRCLE to your excellently curated public talk on “industry and craftsmanship,” held during ORGATEC Cologne. I had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Sebastian Herkner, whose work is very inspiring for me. As a trailblazer in the office design world, Haworth continues to lead inspiring conversations that shape the future of workspaces. A special thanks to Oliver Eitel for organizing it.

'Roppongi Rokken: Sei Case' is Michele De Lucchi's solo exhibition, hosted by 21_21 DESIGN SIGHT Gallery 3 in Tokyo until 14th October.  The exhibition presents for the first time six works from the 'Loggia' series. These six pieces – three in wood and three in bronze – explore the concept of the 'middle space,' understood as the area in a house that connects the inside with the outside: not a physical division, but a space of union between domestic life and the surrounding environment.

The “Mind Landscape” collection designed for Hosoo celebrates nature's beauty, capturing the essence of its diverse forms and blending micro and macro views in harmonious textile designs. Inspired by the geometric complexity of trees, it features four motifs (Red Elm, Cedar, Afzelia, Red Oak) presented in four chromatic variations reminiscent of earthy tones. Fabrics combine textures from wood fibers and colors from satellite images, exploring the union between the order and chaos of nature. Wood transforms into fabric, where natural fibers intertwine in a combination of thicknesses, opacity, and textures. “The Mind Landscape” emphasizes the interconnectedness of the natural world, offering a perspective that infuses balance and elegance into interior design choices and evokes a sense of cosmic wonder. An exhibition dedicated to the collection is open at Hosoo Gallery in Kyoto until October 13, 2024.

Within the OpenZone Science Campus the newly built area for laboratories includes two towers and a circular pavilion for start-ups. The contemporary and recognizable architecture is designed to bridge different worlds, languages, and skills, positioning OpenZone as a hub for transforming research into business. The buildings rise from a common base housing parking, storage, and facility rooms. At 5 meters high, the base supports the foyer, which provides access to the towers and pavilion. The fully glazed foyer offers views of the North Park. The two towers are simple, linear volumes clad in an envelope of opacized glass shingles that embellish the profiles. This double skin provides technical shading and adds character to the buildings. The circular pavilion, wrapped in a metal cable skin, includes pools to encourage climbing plants, aiming to cover the entire structure. Discover more about the project: https://lnkd.in/dTPyrJG6 ph.

Transparency and permeability are the key features in requalifying Post Offices in municipalities with fewer than 15,000 inhabitants.  Within the scope of the #ProgettoPolis (with which Poste Italiane participates in the Complementary Plan to the PNRR promoted by the Government) the intervention involves the conservation and renovation of existing post offices to create the “Sportello Unico” offering public administration services digitally. This project involves tailored interventions for different types of offices: from multi-story building ground floors to the iconic modular “cubes” designed designed by Pierluigi Spadolini for Italposte in the 1970s. Interiors are made flexible, bright, and user-friendly, while outdoor areas will become gathering points to enhance urban spaces. The guidelines emphasize both conservative restorations and new solutions, highlighting the buildings’ identity: the yellow roof band, lighting, and illuminated signage make Post Offices instantly recognizable in the urban context.

Typo redefines the archetype of the wooden office chair on wheels for Mara. The project emerged from an exploration of innovative construction techniques to create new forms. Starting from the study of steel profile bending techniques, an unconventional process was developed to yield a novel effect: by bending a square-section steel tube along the diagonal, the material deforms, creating sharp folds. An error that became the distinctive feature of the chair's load-bearing structure and the soul of the project, inspiring its name, Typo, derived from the typographical error that sparked its creation.

For the new ARRITAL showcase, we continue our reflection on the concept of a showroom, understood as a multifunctional and inspirational space. The project, located within the office building designed by Vico Magistretti in the heart of Milan, creates a new meeting place in the city centre, intended to host events, foster relationships, and encourage collaboration.  The space, spanning three levels, takes on the characteristics of flexibility and transparency, offering an immersive journey of exploration. The kitchen emerges as a pivotal domain, a captivating stage for narratives and storytelling, well-aligned with Arrital's philosophy. Introducing elements such as the suspended flower beds and the "rosso Vico" staircase, inserted in the purposely opened void to exalt the verticality of the architecture, contributes to making the new environment unique and exclusive. ph.

The collaboration with antoniolupi design spa takes shape in the interplay of classic and noble materials, such as bronze and wood, assembled through design solutions drawing from ancient and precious craftsmanship. The fusion with the studio's language gives rise to column washbasins with sculptural, precious, and unique forms. Fabric cords and metallic points connect wooden slats, while cast bronze molds into a conical and grooved shape: Ramses, Cheope and Teti, like ancient monuments, emerge from the ground and take on the value of autonomous works. #amdlcircle #micheledelucchi #antoniolupi
