About Cinque Sella
Cinque est sella triclinaris trium sedentium sine clavis vel cochlibus facile compingenda excogitata. Systema originale inter se cohaerens sellam manu, sine instrumentis, quotiens opus est, componi et dissolvi sinit. Structura ex tabulis contribulatis betulinis cum materia Fenix coniunctis constat, machinis numerice moderatis formata. Pulvini corio artificioso vel textilibus naturalibus manu factis obteguntur. Sella mensuram habet ducentorum quinque per octoginta octo per septuaginta tres centimetra, cum vero disiuncta est, altitudinem tantum decem centimetrorum praebet, ita ut in spatio exiguo reponi possit. Exemplaria tam ad usum domesticum quam ad usum sub divo parata sunt.

- sofa, minimal, furniture, divano, plywood, eco
- Production Technology
- Birch plywood coupled with Fenix. Numerical control processing of the structure. Cushions in eco-leather and / or natural handmade fabrics.
- Design Challenge
- In addition to the conception of the interlocking system, the concept of Cinque is to demonstrate that it is possible to reduce the use of plastic and hardware for the creation of large-volume furniture.
- Research
- The aim of the project is to create a sofa that can be disassembled and reassembled without the aid of tools and hardware, eliminating the plastic in the packaging and that is recyclable. The Cinque sofa is available in both indoor and outdoor versions where it finds its maximum functionality: when in the winter the sofa has no reason to be used outdoors, it can easily be disassembled and put away, taking up minimal space.
- Inspiration
- In my removals, the sofa was the most difficult and complex piece of furniture to move. Remembering the Legos I had as a child, I wanted to make this object light, removable and not bulky.
- Project Duration
- The initial project was born in 2013 for a design competition. Exhibited at the Fuori Salone del Mobile in Milan in the same year and at the Italian Cultural Institute in Vienna on the occasion of the Design Week. It was reborn in 2021 in collaboration with a local carpentry.
- Operation Flow
- The sofa, static and bulky furniture, becomes transportable. It can be disassembled and reassembled as often as desired without the need for tools.
