This product manifests an essential design, which connects function and idea through precise craftsmanship. The project wants to describe the moments spent today in the kitchen, often lived in a frenetic way. The legs of the sideboard simulate a fast movement, like a run. The main feature of this product is the material: it is made entirely of centenary olive tree. The Designer says that the timber was obtained from some specimens felled due to a land deficit, which brought these trees to the end of their life cycle. This project was made entirely by hand.

- The project has been made entirely by hand.
The sideboard was made in centennial Olive wood.
Doors and drawers equipped with slow closing. - Design Challenge
- I drew a lot to find a unique, particular and delicate feature.
I always draw with the pen so that I cannot erase errors and corrections and I always keep the initial drawing in mind to simplify it more and more.
After studying the meaning and shape, I try to resume the drawing to make it as simple as possible, taking into account the functions and characteristics that I want to give to the project. - Project Duration
- The project started in July 2019 and finished in September 2019, in Milan, Italy.
- Operation Flow
- This product was born as a sideboard for your kitchen, made entirely by hand, in a noble and ancient wood. But its linear shape and its essential design, with particular legs, allow the product to be placed without problem in different rooms of the house. The quality of materials and accessories make it functional in any situation.
- Research
- When I started designing this product, I thought of something that could characterize my kitchen, without upsetting it.
After studying function and form, I transport the project into modeling software to establish ideal measurements and standard. This project has a main function as a container with 2 high drawers and 2 large low drawers and two aesthetic characteristics, the legs that create a game of movement, and the material, that is, the centenary olive wood. - Inspiration
- The idea was to capture the moments spent today in the kitchen.
Every day life pushes us to live with frenzy the common areas of private life. This furniture wants to tell how we live our life.
The legs of the sideboard simulate a frenetic movement, almost runnig. - Image Credits
