Void wins
Wallpaper* Design Award 2020
We are pleased to announce that Void stool by Desalto,
designed by Guglielmo Poletti the collection whit the same name that includes
chairs, consoles and coffee tables, has been awarded the Wallpaper Design Award
2020. The prestigious recognition is assigned every year by the authoritative
magazine Wallpaper – international reference point for the design architecture,
fashion and lifestyle sectors– to all products, brands and designers that in
the previous year have distinguished themselves for their strong innovative
charge, both from an aesthetic and functional point of view. Selected by the
collaborators and curators team of Wallpaper all over the world, the products
are nominated winners by a jury of internationally renowned creatives and are
destined to set a trend across the board.
The Void collection, born as an investigation on form
in relation to architectural concepts of mass and void, is characterized by the
extreme purity of the volumes, whose contour outlines a solid that has been
partially deconstructed and excavated. This subtle gesture of subtraction
translates into a strong impact, thanks to the curvature of the base that determines
a space able to alter the visual perception of objects. Entirely made of steel, the
construction allows the metal to reach a minimum thickness of 3 mm, increasing
its structural properties thanks to the curvature of the vertical elements.
