- Design Challenge
- The creative research starts from the observation of the fashion world and its history. Having lived in Venice, I explored the art of the famous Mariano Fortuny and his plissé. I wanted to create a table that could adapt to all situations and be as elegant as a pleated skirt and that could be replaced quickly. The Marilyn table, dedicated to the most famous skirt in the history of cinema, was born from Airnova's craftsmanship and leatherworking skills.
- Inspiration
- The design of the dining table is inspired by Marilyn Monroe’s classic costume style in the movie "the Seven
Years Itch". The leather is made of Italian top Tuscan cowhide, giving the entire dining table an elegant and attractive
pleated skirt skirt shape. Hand-sewn leather by Italian artisans
The leather skirt of the base is removable, and the atmosphere of the table will change dreamily with the
replacement of leather. A total of 48 leather colors are available. - Project Duration
