Urban Bookcase by Claudio Bellini

The Urban bookcase/library system is a series of elements that started with a very simple idea: to create a single module to function as a library that can multiply indefinitely without repetition. The Urban can be used with no constraints and hooks, which allows you to create walls, dividers, verticals, and horizontal angles, small benches, TV consoles, hi-fi storage...or anything else you can imagine.

The Urban library system is a series of elements that started with a very simple idea: to create a single module to function as a library that can multiply indefinitely without repetition. The Urban can be used with no constraints and hooks, which allows you to create walls, dividers, verticals, and horizontal angles, small benches, TV consoles, hi-fi storage...or anything else you can imagine.

The infinite combinations offered in a wide range of colors, can also be used to create amazing decorative landscapes.

The apparent simplicity of the Urban library actually conceals a great technological challenge: to deliver an item in a plastic material (polyethylene) with large planar surfaces in rotational molding. The Urban is everything you might come to expect from Claudio Bellini, the son of iconic designer Mario Bellini.

Kekazzé by Omar Ronda

Interior Decorative Accessory or Urban Design Element

Designed by Omar Ronda, whose collective Cracking Art’s stated purpose is “…to change the codes for the art of the future,” Kekazzé is a decorative object of pure fun and whimsy that can be used indoors or out.

Each Kekazzé is a certified, numbered and signed work.

Using plastic, which is derived from petroleum, “the natural repository of the planet’s entire history of organic life-forms, from its origins to the present day,” Omar Ronda creates plastic shapes that simulate nature, “so as to reinstate petroleum’s ancient, primary forms of life and imagery. This means turning life back in its tracks, as a way of finding the poetical voice and soul of art.”

Kekazzé is a sort of pot-bellied Kimeroide, evocative of a rooster, pot bellied pig, a dragon maybe, and sporting tennis shoes or perhaps something else altogether? Plastic (polyethylene) is rotationally moulded into an organic form; a dream of what may one day replace all the wildlife in extinction, mixed animals, nice and friendly, to be kept inside or in the garden.

Two versions are available, and one with light.
