GHIDINI1961 debuts 2017 collection at milan design week

after their debut last year, ghidini 1961 has presented during milan design week 2017 their latest collection. confirming the beauty and modernity of brass, reinvented from classical suggestions through the language of contemporary design, the furniture, accessories and everyday objects thrive on a new allure. thanks to its historical experience in processing brass — a precious material so difficult to treat — ghidini 1961 has showcased a new shiny satin finish, alongside the more traditional mirror polished.

ghidini 1961’s 2017 collection has been expertly calibrated by art director stefano giovannoni, involving some of the italian and international talents who were able of expressing a very diverse creative outcome. the final results span through all product categories from the lamps of branch creative, aldo cibic, studio job, richard hutten, paolo rizzatto and nika zupanc which spread light while reflecting the surrounding environments. mirrors by elisa giovannoni, cartoonish-style coffee tables by giovannoni, and pieces by alessandro mendini and richard hutten complete the collection.

with an unexpected change of scale, paolo rizzatto imagines one supporting element, a sort of column with brass finish that supports plans of various materials to create a customized system shaped according to the needs of the owner. the modularity of the system leaves the designer free of shaping libraries and tables. overall, the ghidini 1961 collection 2017 testifies the flexibility of interpretation of brass, through small and large masterpieces of craftsmanship made in italy of aristocrat perfection.
