U is a collection of tables of various heights and sizes that can be used individually or as part of a set.
Their main distinctive feature is a U-shaped support made of bent aluminium. Its soft curves inspired the rounded appearance of the tops, which come in three shapes: square or rectangular with rounded corners, and circular. There are two versions: 100% metal or metal and wood. The sculpturesque style with minimalist lines means that the U collection is ideal for both the contract market and private homes.
Lanzavecchia + Wai
Lanzavecchia + Wai is a creative collaboration between Francesca Lanzavecchia (Pavia, 1983) and Hunn Wai (London, 1980).
To them, being designers means being researchers, engineers, craftsmen and story-tellers all at the same time. They began their cooperation at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, Holland, under the supervision of Gijs Bakker, co-founder of Droog Design. Lanzavecchia is focused on the relationships objects have and can have with the human body and soul as well as having a fervent eye for future trends. Wai is fascinated by the collisions and fusions of materials, meanings and forms.
