Officine Tamborrino edits steel furnishing objects and microarchitectures. At Edit Napoli 2024, the Ostuni-based creative lab created a convivial lounge in the Archivio di Stato central courtyard. Metal furniture, steel beams and greenery dialogued with the surrounding architecture. Sara Mondaini designed the convivial Let’s Talk table, and Marco Imperadori created a cosy petit cabana.

Framed by the stunning historical archive of Sala dei Catasti, the company also presented Dedalo, a metal yellow library and living herbarium conceived and designed by Licio Tamborrino and Alessandro Guerriero. The metal structure nested and mapped herbs and plants thriving in Apulia, southern Italy. “The furniture is a tribute to the biodiversity of our territory,” Giulia Semerano, project manager of Officine Tamborrino, told Archipanic. “We developed it in collaboration with an agronomist. Dedalo is an archive within the archive.”

Atelier Ferraro teamed up with Marco Ripa to create INDIA, a family of transforming tables for indoors and outdoors spaces and made of 100% recyclable aluminium.  “The project embodies a light classicism in its sober yet welcoming and soft geometries and takes advantage of aluminium, reduced to minimal thicknesses, to create a top that interprets convivial dining,” Marco Ripa told Archipanic.

The design is characterised by earthy colour combinations, designed for serious fun.

The Tempesta chair by Monostudio was crafted from a simple trunk cut from one of the many trees uprooted in Milan during a tragic summer storm. “Our work as designers began with research into the reuse of waste materials, evolving towards using natural materials. The chair represents an approach to wood as a living material, used in its entirety,” Monostudio’s founders Luca Guglieri and Elisa Evaso told Archipanic.
