Rampinelli
2023

The 2023 Collection marks a new and fascinating chapter in the journey of Rampinelli Edizioni. Eleven internationally renowned designers have reinterpreted Rampinelli's complex craftsmanship, creating a series of furniture accessories with striking refinement and a sculptural nature. Guided by the expertise and experience of Rampinelli Spa, these eleven talents have shaped a wide range of objects that celebrate the art of steelworking. Each piece has been conceived with the same dedication reserved for a work of art, paying particular attention to details and pushing the boundaries of steelwork and finishes, in some cases even transforming imperfections into decorative elements. The result is a collection of small furniture accessories that turn steel into genuine works of art, capturing its intrinsic strength and elevating the art of craftsmanship. This new collection by Rampinelli Edizioni embodies a brilliant fusion of creative visions, a tribute to the art of steelworking that combines industrial techniques with artisanal expertise, and a testament to the passion and commitment of the designers involved. The designers involved: Giorgio Biscaro, Antonio De Marco, Odo Fioravanti, Claudio Larcher, Martinelli Venezia, Chiara Moreschi, Studio Pari, Filippo Protasoni, Sovrappensiero, Mario Scairato, Philippe Tabet.

Tableau designed for Nava is a convertible and changing backpack, like the lifestyle of the contemporary metropolis. The 22-liter backpack can be organized in more than 30 configurations thanks to a system of removable external pouches, available in five different sizes and in three colors. With a simple gesture, the backpack extends into a comfortable and roomy 37-liter tote bag, equipped with the same external pouch system.

2022

The Bubalus collection designed for Chairs&More, was born from the research of synthesis of the sign and from the reduction of the constructive elements that make up the furniture, configuring in this way the ideal formal balance. The result is a product characterized by extreme essentialit y but with a strong graphic and visual impact within the environments in which it is placed. These characteristics make it a product with an iconic identit y and at the same time versatile and above fashion. The collection consists of a console, a desk and a pair of coffee tables.

ART DIRECTION
2020

Rampinelli S.p.A. has been working since 1913 in the Industrial sector with Clients from all over the world, with one constant guiding mission, achieve excellence in production and realize top quality products. Complex constructions and machining on heavy thick steel plates give life to impressive functional architectures with centesimal precision, used in the civil, automotive, steel, renewable energy and space sectors. The passion for new challenges and new ventures led to the collaboration with Sovrappensiero Design Studio. From this partnership, Rampinelli Edizioni was born: a new furniture brand that combines Rampinelli technical and production know how with the contemporary design of Sovrappensiero. The first collection, consisting of a table, a bench and a hanger, presents a selection of the manufacturing processes, such as the CNC plasma cutting, CNC milling and manual TIG welding.
The first collection is based on the composition of geometric solids: the archetypal forms generated bring the rough aesthetics of mechanical engineering into the intimacy of the domestic environment. Finally, the type of painting is inspired by the colors of the industrial machinery also present in the company.

Fucina_Lispi
2022

Cima, designed for fucina_lispi ,borrows its name and character from the nautical world and from memories linked to the sea: to lie down and rest as if cradled, immersed in an atmosphere of comfort. The rope surmounts the bed with elegance and also becomes a headboard: an original, simple but unexpected element. The structure is made with a conical iron tubular, to which are added four circular elements made of solid iron, forged by hand. The bed is painted with a double cycle for a high quality finish and resistance

The shape of the hanger was born from the desire to visually reduce the volumes to a single line drawn in space. The result is a functional sculpture in balance between strength and lightness. The apparent linear simplicity could never be obtained through the standard bending operations since such narrow radii would tend to deform the material. The hanger is created by plasma cut and TIG welding.

The architecture of the bench highlights the idea of surface and plates, basic elements of the metal working. The grid, the result of 26 hours of machining, increases the perception of surfaces in space and the perspective effect. The weight of the steel is contrasted by the shape of the bench, which seems to be balanced on a single line of support.

The table is inspired by the shapes and typical grooves of the Greek columns, as a symbol of solidity and a reference to the idea of eternity. The table top houses in its center a mirror-polished steel disc, framed by a series of grooves inspired by the reverberation of the waves caused by a stone thrown into still water. The base of the table is made from two large steel pipes which are sectioned into 8 parts. The cuts are then turned over and re-welded together. The table top is machined on large vertical lathes.

Maison 203

Athena is considered the goddess of wisdom, the female archetype of strong and logical thinking and an independent woman with many talents. The ancient Greek reference is also represented in the repetition of thin lamellae, like folds on a dress. References to the classical world are combined with organic and contemporary forms, generated with parametric software and achievable only with 3d printing technology.

formae
2018-2019

Bloom takes form from a measured and essential sign, as a valet stand with an iconic shape and a strong character: close to an elegant and light sculpture, it gracefully takes place in the spaces of our daily life, to welcome the elements of our wardrobe with impeccable efficiency

keep__life

Keep life is a composite material, malleable and self-hardening. It is produced using nutshells, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds, pistachios and peanuts, with a binder with no toxic substances, solvents and formaldehyde. We chose to interpret the keeplife material paying attention to its origin and its texture, which recalls the earth. We excavated the material following an irregular shape, like the rain digs the earth, and when the clear sky returns, the puddles give life to surprising reflections: from here our mirror “puddle” is born.

SOMEWHERE
2020

In 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a global lock-down.
“Somewhere” is an augmented reality experience for all the people forced at home who still want to travel everyday in different places, at least with their minds. Everyone can print at home our “portal” and bring a little piece of the outside world inside. Through the help of an augmented reality app, a poster is transformed into an open window overlooking a landscape in motion that will change every day.

Sopovria is a diaphanous object whose contours dissolve in the context merging with it, but at the same time we can glimpse its soul into a balance of transparencies and colors.
The shapes of zoomorphic inspiration give character to the family of tables, which seems to be there to keep us company.

Nava Design

GAE is the tribute of Sovrappensiero Design Studio and Nava Design to Gae Aulenti. With its clean and balanced lines, combined with a carefully designed internal organization, GAE seeks the perfect harmony between the object and its user. Made of fine Italian leather with fabric details, GAE can be used as a backpack, a handbag, a crossbody or a shoulder bag thanks to the simple functionality of two adjustable and removable webbing straps. Made in Italy in limited edition 100 pieces.

Carousel is table mirror made in Zelkova Wood. The frame can be fixed to the structure or be freely held between the hands. The radial symmetry generated by the wood turning allows the frame to be hooked freely, at any point of its perimeter, to the structure and to rotate around it like a carousel.

Sinfonia is a pair of vases made in collaboration with the Atelier Lorenzo Franceschinis for Hands On Design. The shape is inspired by the lightness and elegance of a ballerina who twirls with a wide skirt. The project is also a tribute to the technique of wood turning, which is indeed based on rotation. The handwork and the surface finishes highlight the veins and the wooden material.

Bialetti
2016-2017

During a fruitful collaboration of several months, Sovrappensiero Studio has designed a new collection of products for the preparation and tasting of coffee, along with a complete art direction, for the historic brand Bialetti that invented the moka.The collection comes from a careful study of the organoleptic properties of coffee, from the beans to the powder and a thorough analysis of all the instruments dedicated to the coffee ritual. The products for the preparation are inspired by geometric and minimal volumes, to silently accompany and work with the iconic moka. Each instrument hides a smart intuition or a functional revolution that will soon become indispensable for the lovers and for the neophytes of the coffee world. The coffee grinder is equipped with adjustable ceramic wheels to avoid overheating the beans and gives the chance of choosing the desired fineness of the powder. The transparent dispenser measures the amount of coffee for 1, 3 or 6 cup moka pot. The silicone lid allows you to fill the coffee grinder quickly without spreading the powder. The stainless steel jug is available in different sizes to always manage to the best the temperature of the milk for your cappuccino. The shape of the handle is designed to protect the thumb from high temperature and the spout has been designed to cut the liquids and never spill a drop. The glass coffee jar hides a big innovation underneath: a support to house the moka funnel at the time of filling. This trick is to have your hands free and to accommodate the excess powder inside the lid and then empty it into the jar without getting dirty. The shape of the spoon is designed to accurately measure the powder and when not in use it will hook on the lid with elegance. The collection for breakfast and for coffee tasting are born from the search for a perfect balance between essential lines and archetypal shapes able to recall on the table the whole tradition of Italian espresso coffee.

Incipit Lab
2016

Delicate shapes and strong material contrasts give birth to a decorative and essential lighting source. Agata ceiling lamp is composed by a metal body, that outlines a pure geometric shape holding a mirrored glass lampshade through a soft shaped wood component. The glass hides or shows the lighting source through plays of light, transparency and reflections. Agata lamp is elegant if used alone, but it can set up hanging graphic scenic designs if used in a bunch or row of lamps, also thanks to the different colour shades.Technical description: ceiling lamp with structure of bent and varnished iron pipe. Lampshade made of dyed beech wood and diffuser of borosilicate blown glass with metallic and mirrored finish. Ceiling connection with polished and varnished aluminium socket and zinc-coated iron bracket with axis rotation mechanism. Hanging metal wires are adjustable in height and rotation.

Marmi Sacco
2018

The project “Lastra” was born from the collaboration between Sovrappensiero design studio and Marmi Sacco. A normal slab (lastra) of marble seems to soften and bend in gentle curves thanks to the company's production skills. The lines and the combination of different stones give visual lightness to the sculptural volumes that make up the furnishing elements.

Paestum Experience
2018

The Hera vase is a tribute to the city and the history of Paestum where limestone temples rise on the sea, creating a strong material and chromatic contrast. The same approach is taken up in the vase, where the local stone protects a blue "water volume". The vase was created to accommodate the famous rose of Paestum, which after centuries has returned to bloom in the archaeological area.

Porada

Floor lamp in solid canaletta walnut or ash and tin-plated shade, designed for the Italian wooden furniture company Porada.
We wanted to make a lamp that talks about the fine and delicate sides of the wood. Natural shapes and mushrooms inspired us. A thin but durable frame holds a big hat: the Pileo.

Solimene art
2018

The dishes collection “mediterraneo” created in collaboration with Solimene Art reinterprets the classic themes of Vietri ceramics. The lemon usually represented in clusters is sectioned, occupying the entire surface of the dish. The citrus fruits are accompanied by other typical products of the Mediterranean. The marine themes instead turn into intricate labyrinths of corals and crustaceans to become uniform textures. The project was born in 2015 after the exhibition Tavola Italiana curated by Sovrappensiero and is enriched each year with new elements reinforcing the relationship of friendship and collaboration between the studio and Solimene Workshop.

“A warm and gentle sun that briefly lights the space before setting: this is the image that we wanted to evoke while designing Sunset.”
Sunset is a table lamp with LED lighting, born as a deconstruction of an old abat-jour: The fabric is reminiscent of traditional lamp shades while the shell is painted with an embossed finish.

The ‘cook series’ for mamoli is a range of flexible taps for the kitchen. The series responds to challenges found in this evolving space at the center of the home, where multiple interactions now take place. The classical faucet has been reworked in order to create a device that stimulates a sense of creativity to help bring people together.The great revolution is characterized by the hose , made ​​of silicone , brightly colored , soft to the touch , 360 ° movement and repositionable with no effort thanks to an integrated magnetic force. Cook reinterprets and brings spring taps for industrial kitchens in the home. The two worlds meet in agreeing forms : the cold steel embraces and supports the silicone, soft and colorful. From an aesthetic point of view, it can boast a unique design of its kind: balance and harmony are backed by impeccable dimensions and proportions, while the vitality of its colors gives a fresh and modern look, customizable in five variants: sunflower gray, red chili, green sauge, milky white and blue blueberry. The contemporary kitchen is no longer the workstation where meals are prepared, but a place to experiment and have fun, alone or in company. Cook was created to combine the functionality and flexibility of a professional tap to the warmth and colors of a moment of leisure; convenience and fun in the kitchen will no longer have limits : an essential hint to shape free thought. An eco-friendly cartridge is installed to limit capacity and temperature, ensuring that over time there will minimal waste of resources, while still enabling fluid movements.

Planetarium is a carpet inspired by ancient instruments to measure the times and positions of celestial bodies. The first layer presents five large circles cut by machine, positioned on five orbits traced by a trail of small holes punched. Through the holes it is possible to read the overlap of the underlying layers that are an intricate weave that refers to the mechanisms of a clock.

Manerba
2011

office + retrofit’ is a collection of furniture created by a recovery intervention developed for the furniture company manerba as a means of reusing their stock of old office furniture, rethinking the aesthetics and formal reinterpretation of products. The project idea is the balance between two different objectives: the first is to create a strong contrast with the traditional image of impersonal, institutional and rigorous offices, and the other is to make the production easy and cheap.
The word retrofit suggests the installation of new devices or components into production systems that were not originally designed to receive them. This process arises in environments with large availability of old products and allows not only to retrieve the obsolescent object, but also to implement an upgrade of the product, that will be able to respond to new needs.
The collection of furniture OFFICE + RETROFIT is created by outdated structures from Manerba stocks, natural wood, polypropylene fabric and standard components. The original function and aesthetic of the product is converted so as to give the heat and variety of home-offices.

White Flag for London Design Biennale
2016

The Void project aims to shape the process of deconstruction and cancellation of models and schools of thought that still shackle free thinking. Only a slim outline of steel remains around the flag that symbolises surrender, marking out a void that needs to be filled: it is a frame that encloses all that exists and a portal that makes way for infinite possibilities in the future. The portal becomes a symbol of aperture: an invitation to break down borders and frontiers, whether material or immaterial, in a geopolitical context in which material barriers still exist and where dialogue is more necessary than ever. It is no coincidence that, like a crossing point, Void is ideally positioned (on the world map designed for the Biennale) on the border between Hungary and Serbia, where the Ásotthalom wall now stands: a four-metre-tall barrier of razor wire stretching for 175 kilometres along the border between the two countries, built to cut off the Balkan route that originally gave war-stricken people in the Middle East a possible means of escape.

PORTO SICURO
2014

A pleasant illusion designed by Sovrappensiero Design Studio, that makes a ceramic buoy, floating on stiffer surfaces, creating a relationship between things that do not couple, but together they create an emotional tension. Sovrappensiero Design Studio collaborates with the laboratory of handmade pottery Puzzo, in Milan, producing a limited edition of 200 numbered buoys, where the skill of the craftsmen meets smart and dreaming thoughts of two young designers who like to say something more with their projects. Porto Sicuro does indeed make you enjoy a stream of happy emotions, a taste of peace and quiet: no loss of path, no wind fickle, no vertigo. Rather a point of reference, a signal of stability. A project simple and profound: a pure white of ceramic, and a bright red, strong, of the rope that the buoy always carries. Nothing more, a blessed simplicity and a wealth of thought. Who seeks a buoy has still an adventurous disposition, but indulges in a moment of pause and reflection to swing without coordinates.

2016

A project to rebalance the relationship between global and local inspiration of the product.
The objects that surround us are the result of a process that involves intercontinental actors and displacements, if we consider: the design phase, the process of extraction and transport of materials, production, and finally, the distribution. These products are ours only because we purchased them, but the connection that they have with their creation is difficult to read, has no geographical connotations, and has no resonance in the cultural reality of their owners. The work on the peculiarities, the localism and customization has led us to a new research project that aims to the transformation of indistinct mass products into unique pieces, geographically characterized, with their identity and open to completion by the user.
We made “incomplete” objects , aesthetically anonymous and stateless, but keeper of a functional intelligence, that can be completed and activated through the addition of natural elements found by the user in a specific location and chosen according to his own tastes, needs and links with the territory. This creates a visible duality in the final object: a minimum component, born from industry, reproducible anywhere, globally distributed and, therefore, daughter of nowhere; and a natural component, unique, daughter of a specific place and stitched on the tastes of the final user, creating a new balance between global and local.

Grippine are flexible silicone shells adaptable to any kind of plastic pedals. The material and geometry of the texture guarantee a firm grip and adhesion between the bike pedals and the sole of the shoe . A useful accessory to give new life to old pedals, to customize and color your bicycle, to be applied with a simple gesture, without the need for keys, screws and bolts.
Most of the pedals of city bikes are made of plastic and, without suitable shoes, the grip is poor. Unlike racing bikes or fixed gear, city bikes do not have special attacks for shoes and, if you use your bike daily, it is not possible to adapt your style to the pedal. The grip gets worse in case of rain or when the entire weight of the body is on the pedals to ride in an upright position, and especially for girls who ride the bike in high heels.
We focused our research on this problem. Our first solution was a pedal with a hard polymer structure and gripping surfaces, but the prototype's advantage over conventional pedals didn't justify its complexity. We then started again from scratch and aimed to design a product in which materials, manufacturing and usage followed the guideline of simplicity.
Thus, Grippine was born: a project by Sovrappensiero Design Studio

Sovrappensiero are that kind of designers who use the design of things to say something beyond those things. They have been doing this for years, drawing objects that become metaphors, icons, messages. Drawing for talking. And so it gets easier if an exhibition of chairs does not speak of chairs, but about apostles and the Last Supper. And St. Matthew (one who before becoming Apostle was the tax collector) becomes the inspiration. It seems that Christ has only said "follow me" to convert him from mere money, to the holy spirit. And the "follow me", in the chair, becomes the thread that holds together the support, as "following" in case of God does not mean to go behind someone, take his place, or remain attached, but stay remain faithful to the straight helm of something. Holding to a principle without which everything falters. It just happens that last supper was the first announced crunch: there, where principles are missing, even the princes decay, and the gods die. Where the straight line of any value coincides with the line of gravity. If you betray it, everything collapses. And in these days, it is not a little thing to remind this.

Salone Satellite
2008

It‘s a collection of five products for the visually impaired , presented in 2008 at the Salone Satellite . Observing the products available to the visually impaired we realized that were func­tional but lacked emotional significance. Our collection is designed not only to perform functions without the use of sight , but it involves the aesthetics of all the senses . A new approach to the current landscape of objects for the blind that count on touch and hearing to replace visual interfaces, but appears to be absent in what we call the pleasure and emotion of using an object.

Scented time

Scented time is a clock for the blind, which marks the time through smell. Each candle has a different smell and has a duration of twenty minutes. When the candle goes out, releases a more intense flavor so that you know when 20 minutes have gone. Candles can be arranged according to personal taste, as you can recognize the different aromas even when not lit. In this way you can "draw" your own personal time through smell: an hour is no longer formed by 60 minutes, but is composed of three different scents. Smell is the most ancestral of our senses; smells are linked to our memories and emotions that accompany them; perceiving a smell means reliving an emotion. The piece that holds the candles is lava stone that creates a poetic connection between the melted wax and the material created by the lava. The candle holder is formed by 3 pieces of lava stone, cut from a sheet of 20mm thickness with a water-jet machine

Autunno

Autunno is a carpet filled with special material: by walking on it, allows you to hear the sound of leaves. Marble and wooden floors in our home create silence; our steps play on a carpet of leaves, as in a small forest where every step creaks unlike the previous one. The curiosity of hearing, guides our steps to familiar surroundings and to unknown places.

Diapason

Diapason translates sunlight into a musical and deep sound, thanks to a solar panel and an electromagnetic device. A sunny day or an overcast sky can change our mood. Wake up and listen to the light filtering through the window: it will be a beautiful day! Walk outside, meet someone, be wrapped in the warmth of the sun rays, the thrill of the sound of the light is not in the information received, but it's the surprise of discovery.

Soap Opera

The artwork stir our emotions through visual references and suggestions. In the case of Soap Opera instead, the picture enters into a relationship with you through the dermal and olfactory contact, overcoming the distance imposed by the sight. In fact, you can moisten the hand touching the earthenware container located behind the raised corner of the frame, then you can caress the framework. The soap will begin to release its scent and will be consumed: with time you will pass from a first layer "fragrant" of soap and perfume, to a second layer more "tactile" made of soap and flowers; the story ends in a layer of earth simulated by raw clay. Soap Opera therefore needs the ''observer" to continue to live and to tell its story with a backward path that goes from the scent, to the flowers, to the earth ... a story told through touch and smell. "Sometimes the eye can barely touch, while the hand possesses what it touch; the eye can record in the pupil what he sees, but the hand can imprint in the heart what it touches."

Rifletti

An invitation to look inside the mirror, beyond the reflected image and the appearances. Looking inside the split on the first layer of the mirror, you will go into more depth to watch into the second layer, where is placed another mirror: in this way, the attention will be focused only on the eyes, looking inside yourself, and not at the superficial appearance. "Consider blindness as a model, a way to look into things and people and also to see from within people and things."

momoriae visionairae
2008

Objects from the past are silent witnesses of events that have taken place in times distant from us. Each of them has a story to tell linked to the person who owned them. Missing, waiting and saving are three objects created for the exhibition "memoriae visionariae", which investigate our relationship with things from the past

MISSING
In the Pot "missing" the traces of time left by the objects are shaped to witness the absence of something that was there but now no longer.

WAITING
The trivet "waiting" is inspired by objects that are forgotten in the basement or in the attic, and that, as fossils, are rediscovered and return to tell the stories they have witnessed in their past lives.

SAVING
In the Lamp "saving", the 'personal and emotional importance of the object is shown: the lamp now consumed by time must be protected and highlighted thanks to the glass globe.
