Collection Objects Perché non c’è niente di più bello - Because there is nothing more beautiful – reflects Mattiazzi’s courageous and uncompromising commitment to design and sustainable wood furniture production. The relationship between design and manufacture advances each year when designers act as experimenters, contributing remarkably to Mattiazzi’s narrative and a tale of design itself. While the world experiences a time of rapid social change, when the things that surround us must necessarily be re-examined so that new stories can be made, Mattiazzi introduces ‘Collection Objects’ or...

Wood is a natural, renewable material with no two pieces alike. Each plank is different and each species has different properties and characteristics. Wood is ‘alive’ forever, even after being cut, dried and processed, so it is inherently related to time. Objects made from wood, from small to big scale, can out-live many generations if looked after and treated correctly. The Bibita Bottle Rack explores the ability of an object to address two conditions: storage and display. It stacks in both directions, allowing the object to be responsive – to grow and to be rearranged based on different...

What interests me is the savoir-faire, the precision in the way materials are employed, and that things are done with passion. I’m not so preoccupied by the division of the objects between those that are for everyday and those which are not. Something you’re happy to use and live with everyday is probably my definition of a good object. You can convey the same sensations, sensibility and vision of the world whatever the context is. But I’m not pre-occupied with archetypes. An unfamiliar object can still become a good everyday companion. Portobello is a simple bowl but with a twist....

Wood can be used when you need to build something quickly. But also with more time and care it can reveal subtleties and even surprises. The Cassetta Box is inspired by everyday shapes that are immediately recognisable. I like to imagine people will leave this object on a table as you would leave a book, because it’s useful to have around. There’s a parallel between the idea of two wooden planks and two books stacked. It’s nothing complicated. It’s honest, simple and takes its beauty from where it is. The beauty of Mattiazzi and its ethos plays ou

Palmo Hooks are a sculptural accessory that do not reveal their utility immediately, instead elevating a plain wall to which they are attached. Their soft forms flatter the hand too, hinting at their real use – to hang a coat, a bag, or hat, or anything else that needs to hang.

The Quindici Pillow is a thin, quilted form made from polyester with a recycled PET soft fibre padding. The simple pattern of sewn lines helps to keep the padding in place while adding a textural dimension. The soft shape suits all types of furniture.

Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec Brothers Ronan (born 1971) and Erwan Bouroullec (born 1976) are designers based in Paris. They have been working together for over fifteen years bonded by diligence and balanced by their distinct personalities. In 1997, they were spotted by Cappellini, who gave them their first industrial design projects. For Mattiazzi, they first created their technically advanced Osso chair, followed by Uncino and Quindici. Their recent works have also seen them tackle public installations, exhibitions and interior designs projects. Sam Hecht & Kim Colin Sam Hecht (1969) was born...
