DESIGN NAME: Arco
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Bed
INSPIRATION: Arco was born from a selection of words that reminded me the idea of some actions we make when we think about night, sleeping and dreaming. So I started to drawing an infinity line took inspiration from the mathematic infinity symbol. Starting from this I converted the symbol in order to fit better the function of the bed. the result was a unique piece of wood that seems to fly. It seems a non weight piece, but you know that's not completely true !
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Arco is designed with a versatile structure, which can be made of different types of wood (also providing a possible fabric cushion), or a combination of different materials e.g. wood and leather. The concept is developed from two carries; seamless, unique modules that draw an infinite line.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Designing Arco, was very simple, I took inspiration from the night, when you sleep you dream and a dream is timeless, starting from this concept I thought a sign that reminds me to infinity, so I designed the mathematics symbol of infinity, that was my generating line.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in December 2011 in Milan and finished in March 2014 in Treviglio (BG), and was exhibited at Fuori Salone del Mobile in April 2014.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As I explained in other parts, the project was born from thinking about what the furniture and the action played on it suggested me.
Suddenly I tried to wright some words that reminds me the night and the dream. A question grown up in my mind..the answer was Infinity, that's the place you go when sleping and dreaming.
CHALLENGE: The hardest part of this project was finding a company that has the right machinery able to cut a very long piece of wood, once I found it, I was very happy, the cut the wood on my cad drawing, it was fantastic to see my projet growing up under my eyes!
