MILAN MILANO ITALY | VIA MONTENAPOLEONE FOCUS ON | VIA MONTENAPOLEONE FASHION DESIGN LUXURY

The name is Stardust, the first revolutionary product Mario Bellini - milanese, architect and designer awarded 8 Compasso d’Oro - signs for Meritalia.
This project is dealing with a new family of bright furniture - pillows, pouff, chaise longue, armchairs, sofas - realized without cast with “poor” materials.
The extraordinary idea was to make use of “ravioli made of air” similar to those normally used for packages, as stuffing, and a metallic netting made of thin inox wire, in practice transparent, as covering-case.
These new furniture can be even used as big and comfortable lamps on which people can seat. Low consumer, low voltage and high performance leds which can be considered the latest product of refined and ever-new conception fresh realized in Hong Kong, are brought in each piece and turn these furniture into out-and-out diffuse light sources or in a kind of light which, in a optional version, can change at will in the color scale.
Moreover the Stardust system has other two qualities: weightlessness, because this armchair can be lifted with one hand only, and buoyancy, in case it is used in a swimming-pool or at the seaside (the wire netting remains unchanged and, as known, above water air doesn’t sink).
Stardust is just the beginning of a long range research of “no-conventional” solutions supported by advanced technologies and innovative materials. First among all, the opportunity to input precious iridiscent powders in the ravioli’s air which are able to produce their own light. All this to explain the journey doesn’t come to an end here..
