[FRA] Tubes choisit ses designers avant même de savoir ce qu’ils concevront. Cela a toujours été ainsi. Sebastian Herkner n’avait jamais travaillé avec Tubes. Elisa Ossino, en revanche, oui. Dans les deux cas, le résultat est un objet qui ne ressemble à rien de ce qui existait auparavant. Ce journal a été conçu parce que certains produits ne peuvent pas être résumés à une simple fiche technique. Ils méritent le récit du designer, la logique du matériau, la raison de chaque choix. C’est l’occasion pour la marque de montrer non seulement ce qu’elle produit, mais aussi comment elle pense. TERRE...

DESIGN JOURNAL II-7

[DEU] Tubes wahlt Designer aus, bevor uberhaupt feststeht, was sie entwerfen. So ist es immer gewesen. Sebastian Herkner hatte noch nie mit Tubes zusammengearbeitet. Elisa Ossino hingegen schon. Das Ergebnis ist in beiden Fallen ein vollkommen neues Objekt, das sich von allem zuvor Dagewesenen abhebt. Dieses Journal wurde erarbeitet, weil bestimmte Produkte nicht einfach durch ein technisches Datenblatt beschrieben werden konnen. Sie verdienen es durch die Geschichte des Designers, die Materiallogik und die Motivation jeder Entscheidung erzahlt zu werden. Fur die Marke ist es die perfekte Gelegenheit,...

DESIGN JOURNAL II-9

TERRE è la nuova creatura che Sebastian Herkner ha ideato per Tubes: il primo radiatore elettrico concepito in terracotta di Impruneta. Un oggetto mai realizzato prima, che attinge alla tradizione artigianale di un materiale antico per trasferirla in un territorio nuovo. L’argilla toscana — proveniente dalla terra del Chianti, ricca di galestro — viene formata per estrusione e unita a un’anima in alluminio prodotta a Resana dal know-how dell’azienda. Due territori, due materiali che collaborano all’unisono. La terracotta porta con sé le tracce materiche del processo di modellazione. Le lievi...

tubes terre Allungandosi sulla parete come un elemento architettonico, Terre nasconde al proprio interno un’anima in alluminio riciclato all’80% (e completamente riciclabile) che riscalda la scocca materica. Cinque colori — Terracotta smaltata trasparente, Bianco Vetroso, Marrone Corteccia, Grigio Minerale, Blu Oceano — ciascuno capace di cambiare radicalmente il carattere dell’oggetto. Le mensole in Marmo Bianco di Carrara o Nero Marquina aggiungono un gradiente di stile al progetto; la versione in MDF è invece un contrappunto più vivace. Grazie al portasalviette in metallo, TERRE entra con...
