DESIGN

DESIGN & FOOD Table and houseware design devotes increasingly more attention to raw materials, their interaction with the uses of each object and the contexts in which they live. Sustainability and natural resources inspire designers to respect the environment. Recycled materials are popular, but beauty is never forgotten.
Fresh | Fresh Wine | Pozzuoli | loc. Lucrino | via Scalandrone, 15 | tel. 327 699 8839 | www.freshwine.it The idea comes from Nando Salemme, the owner/sommelier of the Osteria Abraxas in Pozzuoli, near Naples. This handsome, effective thermal-stabilizer or wine cooler, designed by Salvatore Cozzolino, from the Second ���� University of Naples, was developed by ADI, Association of Industrial Design, also in Naples. The amount of ice provided, indicated by the numbers on the transparent and non-scratch Plexiglas wall of the container, determines whether the temperature of the wine is maintained or lowered. The cold is transmitted by an aluminum panel in direct contact with the bottle, while the bottle itself stays dry and at the proper temperature.
Wild & Free | GoldPlast | Arcisate (VA) | Campi Maggiori 27/A | tel. 0332 470 249 | www.goldplast.com In fashion and interior design, natural elements lead 2017’s style trends. GoldPlast, a sector leader in tableware, offers a tribute to Italian taste in its finger food series. Inspired by nature, these designs interpret, in a simple and pristine way, flower and leaf forms, the patterns that wind creates on water and meadows. The Wild & Free line emerges from the study of these movements and their geometry. Bowls and plates express in their design the freshness and joy of natural landscapes, but also their most unusual and original aspects. All these objects are made in polystyrene (PS), are BPA free and 100% recyclable.
