With Paolo Nava

Quadrante articulates storage as rational structure. A series of low lacquered cabinets and display elements emphasises breadth and depth, turning horizontality into a defining theme. Sliding doors run on structural channels, while diagonal bracing cables make the load-bearing logic explicit; a table followed the same grammar. The title refers to Quadrante, the magazine founded in 1933, opening a dialogue with the design culture of the 1930s and 1940s and with the work of Asnago and Vender.
