CARBON22, a limited-edition line of experimental furniture by Dario Antonioni, founder Orange22
ORGANIC FLUIDITY
In many ways, the collection is the most recent manifestation of the designer’s love affair with aerospace engineering, a field in which he’s formally trained. Borrowing from aeronautical concepts, he has utilized the most advanced technologies to craft the collection of blacker-than-black furniture thats super strong and light-weight —including a desk, stool, end table and cocktail table—made entirely of carbon fiber.
TECHNOLOGY MEETS ART
And yet, the aesthetic presence of each piece differs dramatically from that of machine-age aircraft or supersonic jets. “My fascination with flight and technology influenced my material selection, fabrication techniques and, to a certain extent, the formal qualities of these pieces,” says Antonioni.
DRIVEN BY PASSION
“This collection is a way for me to satisfy my inclination to advance my field - to experiment. Carbon22 isn’t driven by the demands of the marketplace. It’s driven by passion.” Each Carbon22 object within the collection, produced in limited numbers, is signed by the designer.
Prices for each limited edition piece vary.
