TWILL

specchio, floor mirror martina bartoli, 2018

Un evidente richiamo al motivo dell’intreccio: lo specchio rettangolare Twill è un omaggio alla sartoria maschile, citando il tessuto dal forte andamento diagonale, che si ottiene intrecciando i fili in modo da creare una struttura orientata a 45°, che viene utilizzato per dare inediti riflessi a stoffe in tinta unita.

A clear reference to a weaving motif: the rectangular Twill mirror is a tribute to the men’s tailoring, citing the strong diagonal weave, which is created by weaving the threads in order to create a structure orientedat 45 °, used to give unprecedented reflections to plain-colored fabrics.

Fasce diagonali molate e dalla superficie riflettente, che si sovrappogono, in un elegante effetto ottico, ad altrettante bande di specchio colorato: questospecchio esagonale ricorda la più classica delle acconciature bon ton.

Diagonal bands of reflecting surface, which overlap in an elegant optical effect with as many bands of colored mirror: this hexagonal mirror recalls the most classic of bon ton hairstyles.

TRIPLO

tavolini, small table martina bartoli, 2019

Il progetto nasce dall’idea di scomporre una superficie piatta su tre differenti altezze, ottenendo di conseguenza tre piani d’appoggio. Realizzato in massello di legno, la venatura del legno, evidenziata dalla verniciatura all’anilina, segue questa rotazione, in un gioco geometrico dove i piani sembrano rincorrersi. Il movimento che viene a crearsi è ulteriormente sottolineato da una struttura leggera, sostenuta da tre esili tondini in acciaio. I piani in legno, fungendo da collegamento tra un tondino e l’altro, diventano anch’essi un vero e proprio elemento strutturale che assicura stabilità al tavolino.

The project springs from the Ccncept of dissecting a flat rest surface into three different heights, to obtain three table tops. Made from solid wood, the wood grain, emphasized by an aniline finish, echoes this rotation with a geometric pattern in which the tops appear to be chasing each other. The resulting movement is further underlined by a light weight structure, supported by three slender steel rods. The wood tops, acting as a link betwen one rod and another, also become proper structural elements conferring stability to the table.

CIPPUTI
