Chiglia is the Italian word for keel, that is the skeleton of a boat.<\/strong>
«The concept of the table was inspired by such skeleton: I consider this project very important as it represents my debut as well as an homage to the maritime tradition of Taranto, my hometown ».<\/p>\n

Which wood did you employ for Chiglia?
<\/strong>«Chiglia’s skeleton as well as its other components are made in solid oak wood ».<\/p>\n

How did you attach the “vertebras” to the central leg?<\/strong>
«Each element is meant to accomplish a certain function: the vertebras sustain the glass top and also connect to the central beam thanks to a swallow-tailed joint. The beam supports the whole structure and leans on two trestles that recall those employed to upkeep the boats».<\/p>\n

The result is an interesting unique piece of design. Is it resistant too?<\/strong>
«The whole project relies on specific wood joints that make the structure resistant as well as screw and metal-free».<\/p>","testo_b":"

Is it customizable?<\/strong>
«Over a year ago d-Lab Studio www.dlabstudio.it was asked a custom version of Chiglia to be put in the conference room at De Candia Rappresentanze. The result was so successful that I decided to name it Chiglia 2.0. In general, you can customize the table in terms of wood essence and size, still respecting the proportions of its original models».

Goccia is a multipurpose case set: how can we use it?<\/strong>
«It’s a suspended container to be employed both inside and outside, in the living room as well as the kitchen: being made of ceramic, it can hold several different items (a blanket, a magazine), food and even ice for your drinks. Beyond being a container, it is also a LED lamp, so it lights up what’s inside and also creates a pleasant atmosphere all around. Its multifunctional side makes it a unique product which I’m really proud of».

What led you to the creation of Goccia?<\/strong>
«Goccia is a concept that I produced almost by accident. The original project was a smaller variation to be used as my suspended business card holder during the 2014 Design Week; by tracing a line on the sketch, which ended up being the oak top, I also created the bigger version, and consequently the set».

How do you use your personal Goccia? How big is it?<\/strong>
«I use it for my homemade happy hours, while the Mini and Medium variations - for instance - host spices over the kitchen top. As suggested by a London-based colleague, you can also collect many Minis to create sort of a unique curtain to separate two areas of the same open space».<\/p>\n
