LUNA – HAIKU

For  series Haiku table, I have designed the graphics engraved on the metal sheet.

My inspiration come from delicate images from nature impressed with a sign on metal.

Side table with metal frame and top characterized by graphic elements engraved on the metal sheet.
Design object in which the creativity essence and the sleekness of the ancient Japanese compositions contaminate each other.
The engraving and the copper plating with the manual orbital finish of the top create a particular graphic and chromatic impact.

Athena, your world everywhere

design Eugenia Minerva, 2016

What will happen to the traditional bookshelf when books lose their physical side? This is the question that prompted the creation of the Athena project.

In the last decade, the way we access information on a day-to-day basis has dramatically changed. Items such as books, music and pictures have ceased to be tangible objects to become files existing on the web or in the cloud. With the Internet of Things now a reality, and the presence of devices such as smartphones and tablets increasing in our lives, a revolution in information storage is required.

The answer to this is Athena.

Athena is much more than just an ordinary bookshelf. Thanks to an embedded Raspberry PI computer the size of a credit card connected to a hard drive, Athena will manage all your digital items, categorizing them automatically. Athena also champions connectivity with external devices, so that you can have your entire digital world at your fingertips. Just connect via wi-fi your smartphone, e-reader or smart TV and you are ready to enjoy the content of your Athena library whilst charging your personal device. Fancy some more reading material? No problem! Athena is preloaded with content from Project Gutenberg which means your shiny new bookshelf already comes with over a whopping 40,000 free e-books!

Athena is also available in a special ‘Contract’ version that can be integrated within public spaces such as waiting rooms, train stations or airport. With so many free titles available, Athena well and truly breaks cultural barriers by making culture available to everyone.

Athena is a revolutionary product that combines the heritage of the past with the complexity of the future using a clean, simple design and state of the art technology.

Breaking the chains of the physical, Athena frees your world making it available everywhere.

Athena, your world everywhere

design Eugenia Minerva, 2016

Cosa diventerà l’oggetto “libreria” quando tutto il suo contenuto perderà fisicità?

Questa la domanda da cui è nato il progetto Athena.

Nell’ultimo decennio il modo in cui abbiamo accesso alle informazioni sta cambiando da un giorno all’altro drasticamente. Libri, musica, video e immagini hanno perso la loro consistenza materica, diventando file che viaggiano nel web. Con Internet of Thing ormai divenuto realtà e i dispositivi “smart” prepotentemente entrati nelle nostre case si sta rendendo necessaria  una rivoluzione anche nella conservazione e fruizione dei dati.

Athena vuole essere una risposta a queste riflessioni su come sta cambiando il nostro modo di gestire, fruire e conservare ciò che amiamo e che nutre la nostra anima,  su come cambiano i luoghi e gli oggetti destinati a questo sia nella casa, che negli spazi pubblici.

Athena è molto più che una semplice libreria. Grazie ad un piccolo computer incorporato (Raspberry Pi), poco più grande che una carta di credito, Athena archivierà i tuoi contenuti multimediali organizzandoli automaticamente in categorie; potrai anche accedervi direttamente dai i tuoi apparati “smart”, così avrai tutto il tuo mondo digitale a portata di mano. Connetti semplicemente  via wi-fi il tuo smartphone, e-reader, o la tua smart-TV ad Athena e potrai fruire di tutti i tuoi contenuti multimediali anche mentre ricarichi i tuoi dispositivi.

Vorresti altro da leggere? Nessun problema! Athena  è precaricata con contenuti del Progetto Gutenberg, il che significa che la tua nuova libreria è già fornita di 40000 e più e-book gratuiti!

Infatti, nella sua versione “contract”, Athena diventa un punto lettura e divulgazione culturale da inserire nei luoghi dell’attesa, mettendo in pratica quello che è lo slogan del progetto “rompere le barriere dell’ignoranza e dell’analfabetismo”.

Tutto questo in una forma che rompe l’archetipo di libreria attraverso un rovesciamento delle misure tipiche dell’oggetto tradizionale, lo epura da ogni fisicità per farlo dialogare nell’ambiente domestico con la qualità di un segno grafico.

Athena diventa un tramite tra un passato tangibile e un futuro evanescente.

Triennale design museum Ninth Edition

Proud to announce to  take part  in the Ninth Edition of the Triennale Design Museum, during the exhibition “W. Women in italian design” curated by Silvana Annicchiarico, design by Margherita Palli.

The ninth edition of the Triennale Design Museum, addresses the Italian design in the light of one of the most delicate issues, the most difficult, but also more stimulating and suggestive that the gender issue . The idea that gender is not only a biological and natural given, but a cultural issue opens interesting perspectives for what will become the design after design. “W. Women in Italian Design” seeks to chart a new history of Italian design to reconstructing female figures, theories, design attitudes that were seeded in the twentieth century and have established, transformed and evolved in the XXI century.

OneTwoThree Table

The two main features of methalcrylate are transparency and colour.
These are not conventional stackable tables where each table is placed on top of the other. This coffee table is actually
made of three separate transparent tables combined together to form one colorful mix.
But if you need an other table…here it is!
ONE, TWO, THREE…colours!

Exhibited at Salone Satellite 2014

Pirò chair

The “old” and “new” are mixed together in this chair. Pirò chair  is  made in beech plywood using the antique technique of pyrography and using the old moulds with classical graphics used for the seat of the “Thonet chair”.

A new chair with a new use of old technique.
