Salone del Mobile 2015 | tema: pavimentos
Éste es el primer artículo acerca del Salone del Mobile 2015. Cada artículo gira en torno a un tema. Esta primera publicación habla de los últimos desarrollos en el sector de los pavimentos, un tema que en Forbo conocemos bien.
El Salone mostró varias perspectivas, como un pavimento clásico con un guiño diseñado por Patricia Urquiola, un elegante diseño de pavimento diseñado por Nendo para ofrecer orientación, o una construcción de palets funcionales que forman un fantástico podio para el mobiliario de Schemata Architects para Vitra.
Biscuit
By Patricia UrQuiola- an unconventional contemporary perspective on a traditional fitting system for a parquet flooring.
Commissioned by Listone Giordano
Alcantara Wood
Designed by Nendo- various alcantara (imitation suede) colours layered and rolled up to create a ‘log’ which is than cut into slices to create the effect of ‘alcantara tree-rings'. Designed for Alcantara
Warehouse
Schemata architects for Vitra- the warehouse character of the Vitra stand highlights the temporary character of the fair.
Stream
Need for Asahi Woodtec - a wood flooring system providing orientation by introducing different vertical joints.
Joints designed in three interval patterns; a wide one expressing ‘slowness’, a narrow one to create ‘quickness’, and a midpoint between the two.
Allowing one to determine a spatial direction and to create a sense of ‘pace’ or ‘speed’
