Wood: a key resource for south tyrol

In this northern Italian region, wood is a vital resource that brings together tradition, the economy and environmental protection. The short and sustainable supply chain is worth €1.3 billion and involves thousands of local companies.

The Plust Collection presented three new designs in Milan, product families that respond to the design needs of indoor and outdoor spaces with a dynamic look and developed in the company’s very own colour palette of green, white and brown.

Sweden’s Form Us With Love has designed Fura Family, a totemic table and stools that reference the way tree trunks are sawn and take their name from a tall Swedish pine-tree. The clear-cut, geometric lines are interrupted by inviting hollows that can also act as foot rests and facilitate transfers.

France’s Cédric Ragot has designed the Jetlag seating family as a progressive sequence, a system offering multiple combinations to furnish private and public spaces alike: bench seating for short breaks or armchairs for longer stops. The versatile Y-module combination allows free and easy assembly.

To end, the Bartolomeo Display by JVLT is a freestanding, internally lit accessory that goes with the line of benches designed last year. It can be used to store bottles or catering equipment, or even as an individual display.
