DESIGN NAME: Talento Unlimited
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Cabinet
INSPIRATION: I was inspired by the idea of enhancing the shapes of the object without exasperating them and using a simple aesthetic language. A cabinet that is caracterized by a unique surface finishing and a unique surface textured design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Talento is a containing unit with a strong visual impact where crafstmanship and design come together in a wise balance of empty and full and an alternation of different depths and proportions. The new "UNLIMITED" texture in liquid metal embellishes and emphasizes the two doors. The rounded edges of the entire structure and the particular recessed handle represent a further detail which highlights the originality of the design. An architectural jewel designed and equipped for storing objects.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Every details of this particular cabinet, like the structure's round and smooth profile, is a result of a skillfull craftmenship and has been designed to make the product immediately recognizable.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in Milano in 2018 and ended with the presentation during Milano Design week 2019.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: During the designing process, we started from a very simple shape trying to identifieda particular design product combined with a specfcandunique texture design for the surface. The result was really stunning. A unique surface technique combined with the artisan craftmenship.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of Talento cabinet was to find a solution to realize the unique surface design with a innovative process. This process took one year in design and engineering research because a mould for this particular texture and finishing was not available. The final solution was the creation of a specific silicone mold to defined the surface design combining it with the liquid metal finishing.
