The new furnishing elements proposed represent the ideal completion of the Iconic Handicraft Collection, launched in 2017 based on the idea, by Art Director Federica Biasi, of creating a series of furnishings that express an essential synthesis of aesthetics and meaning.

Decò Lamp

Dome Floor Lamp

As previously mentioned, these novelties are also characterised by the encounter of metal with another material. The Decò pendant lamp designed by Federica Biasi and the Dome floor lamp by Valerio Sommella juxtapose the metal of the load-bearing structure with the glass of their diffusers. The ceiling-to-floor Marianne bookcase, once again by Federica Biasi (the prototype was presented at Maison&Objet last January), has iron uprights and glass shelves that lighten the design.

Marianne Bookcase

Minima Armchair

The latest furniture and furnishing novelty is Denis Guidone’s Minima armchair, in which the iron of the supporting structure is, once again, combined with another material. In this case it is the fabric upholstery, which represents a necessary complement to soften and warm the chair.

Phase

Gatsby

In Mingardo’s Rendez-Vous, visitors were able to see three new interior claddings of the Architecture Collection, Phase, Gatsy and Albers. This line expresses the strong interest and deep ties that have bound Mingardo to the world of interior architecture since the period of collaboration with Carlo Scarpa. The patterns reproduced on the brass cladding modules are inspired by the beauty of Art Deco fabrics and decorative motifs, and bear the signatures of Federica Biasi and Dutch textile designer Mae Engelgeer
