STURM UND PLASTIC
MILAN INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE FAIR 2006 |
In 1998 Sturm und Plastic was born as a division of La Rosa, a company established seventy-six years before, and leader in plastic materials manufacturing for mannequins and shop windows accessories.
Since the beginning, any design philosophy is carefully worked out and defined up to the small detail, until it becomes a tangible piece of design.
So Sturm und Plastic overcomes the boundary of the pure design, going towards a new and extraordinary reality made by forms, art, inspiration and potential.
Sturm und Plastic doesn't limit itself to have, as designers, true professionals of the design, but plays a significant role in researching and testing new materials, technologies, and features.
All the above, has allowed the company to span the imagination at 360°, using and forming the most varied new generation plastic materials: from thousand crystal bubbles, to the polyurethane autopellante, finally landing at a new and astonishing three-dimensional reality, out of any scheme or rule, where the words classical, standard, ready-made are meaningless.
2006 edition at International Furniture Fair of Milan for Sturm und Plastic presents itself rich of hints which demonstrates how the Company is in a moment of consolidation for the need to express, behind creativity, the company and its project.
New plans; evident job of research and experiments; capacity to stir up emotions; care and attention for details. This is what Sturm und Plastic wants to transmit, with a space that gives value to meetings and communication besides the product.
A suggestive location, the one of this year, to tell an inedited image of Sturm's World act to propose two lines: home and lighting.
Sturmundlight: enriches its collection of lamps: Doucer, design Gigi Rigamonti, with the luminous sources Led in chromatic frequencies of white, blue, red and green that match different contemporary life context.
At first sight Doucer looks like a simple cube that recalls ice. Realized in resilient impact recyclable plastic, it matches form, beauty and pleasure. A touchable object that releases light wich becomes sophisticate, involving, satisfying; so easy and instinctive to build a personal comfort suitable to working spaces as well as domestic ones. The blowing technology allows a mass, production with unique results so that every single lamp propagates light in different ways: seductive, refined.
Sturmundwine: the debut with Buena Onda, always by Gigi Rigamonti, elegant and refined bottle holder for the table realized in the unmistakable crystalline plastic with thousands of crystal bubble.
Stackable unit, Buena Onda can contain up to three bottles per shelf, softly laying along its structure offers a pleasant look, beyond the taste.
And with the coming spring also our traditional collection dresses itself a new skin: a multi colour and cheerful Double Up designed by The Design Laboratory. The bench/sofa is realized in selfskinning polyurethane in an Double Up multi-color version.
