KONOHA  Milan Salone 2015  

Konoha, which means leaf, is a curved and sinuous stool, which shape contrasts with the heavy material of the stone. It seems that is rolling off, windblown. The wind, as the water in the fountain and the earth in the Zen garden, indicates another natural element: the air, thanks to which the stools ‘come to life’ and they look like they are dancing through the environment. The shape of Konoha makes it possible to place it on all its sides, thus creating different planes of sitting. Thanks to the fine products of Grassi Pietre, the stone, which is usually cold and hard, looks warm and attractive.

日本語で木の葉を意味するKONOHAは、湾曲した蛇腹のような形は重い材料の石でありながら対照的な吹き飛ばされるような軽さをデザイン。禅庭の地球と噴水の水のように風は別の自然の要素を示しています。大気は生命の息吹であり、自然環境で踊っているように想像させる。 Konohaはすべての側面を座れるようにデザインされ様々な座面の表情をそれぞれ持つ。 Grassi Pietreの素晴らしいプロダクトのおかげで通常、寒くて硬い石は暖かく魅力的に感じられる。
