A house turns its back on the road to open up to the landscape
The single-family house project designed by Elena Gianesini engages in a dialogue with the Vicenza landscape, combining tranquility and contemporary style through essential geometries and the Mazzonetto metal roofing.
The wire mesh is dense in areas that support the body and open where it doesn’t. In this way we increase comfort without increasing weight. The diagonals that are crucial for structure are made thick while those that are needed for comfort are thin. The emphasis on the diagonals results in a striking hatch effect that gives a light airiness to the chair.
The Mesh Chair comes in a side chair version and a stool version in various colors of a powdercoat finish. Also available are matching seating pads for added comfort.
