April will see Bartoli Design as the protagonist not only during the design week, at the Salone del Mobile.Milano, but also at the ADI Design Museum in Milan, from 5 to 28 April, within the exhibition "FEELING GOOD - Caimi design for the future" dedicated to the design reformism of an icon of Made in Italy between science, design, art and business 75 years after its foundation.
A non-celebratory exhibition, a narrative focus on the working method, which is the true DNA of Caimi. The exhibition is curated by Aldo Colonetti and Valentina Fisichella, set up by Matteo Vercelloni, multimedia project and live performance by Ex Amina.
The Studio will also be present with some project sketches, which represent the genesis of the innovative Integral sound-absorbing panels, born from careful planning and experimentation, characterized by an essential and balanced design.
Integral was conceived - even in the name - as a system of multi-functional panels, which contribute to improving the sound and light conditions within architectural spaces. Defined by a hemispherical cap (diameter 80 and 120 cm) which elegantly combines function and aesthetics, in addition to the primary purpose of acoustic comfort, Integral therefore also becomes a lighting body with the insertion of LEDs, hidden on the back, which create a soft light .
All according to a logic of sustainability, with 100% recyclable materials.
As Anna and Paolo Bartoli say: “the initial inspiration for the project – the sketches bear witness to this – came from some images of the solar eclipse, which suggested the circular and hemispherical shape, synthetic and iconic, and the segment of the moon as a formal suggestion for the section of the panel, which responds perfectly to functional and performance needs. The idea that the panel could perform multiple functions at the same time, such as sound absorption and light diffusion, was born precisely by seeing the images of a solar eclipse, and imagining that the hemispherical panel could be placed on the wall to diffuse the light".
