ARKETIPO BOLIDE COMPLEMENTS

Mauro Lipparini

The latest design from Mauro Lipparini, Bolide is anything but sober, this is a statement piece; one for those that are concerned about form, details and ultimately, interior identity. This is a sculptural expression of design, one that takes angles and positions them in a unique set up that is only ever enhanced by our insight into material manipulation and focused approach to details. Think of Bolide as a fluid structure that found its shape through a combination of planned design and natural guidance, Mauro talks of “a wavy ribbon” and you’d be hard pressed to not see that form, but there is more to this. Compartments are broken up with a distinctive curvature, the doors form the design whilst the swooping angles add a sense of linear diversity. Naturally, it is highlighted by the use of materials, finished in either sucupira or moka, whilst the top – made from machined lacquer – provides contrast in both texture and implementation.
