When designing furniture to complement this rich heritage, we sought to infuse a sense of antiquity into the pieces that would harmonize with the city’s timeless allure.
The whole family of the new furniture is very diverse, it was important to create a design identity that could fit for all the pieces.
Utilizing casted metal parts, meticulously shaped as sculptural elements, we were able to strike the perfect balance between modernity and tradition.

The inclusion of four-legged benches with retaining supports, inspired by 20th-century designs, harmonizes with sleeker, two-legged counterparts, catering to the city’s modern districts.

A range of bins, from small units to large-capacity and sorted waste containers. The simplified design, based on basic circular shapes, ensures versatility throughout the cityscape, with an unobtrusive visual presence.
The metal body, featuring an anti-vandal structure, is complemented by an upper frame detail with an inward slope for easy disposal, along with continuous circular projections on the roofs.
