NEW WAY OF THINKING ABOUT FURNITURE
“Why are objects positioned on top of furniture instead of being integrated in them?”
FUI is born from a simple personal thought. Working on a concept of furniture that has
not been explored, allowed me to move freely without any sort of projectual constrain-
ts towards a new domestic landscape. After a first analysis I started to find different
links that led to the start of a solid project, based on key concepts such as modularity,
exchange, customization, new domesticity and organization. FUI is a collection of inte-
ractive furniture, specifically a desk, a bookcase and a small table, whose top composed
of wireless modules, each having a specific function and powered by an electrified base
positioned below them with induction technology. The dinamicity of the furniture allows
the consumers to create and customize the product in order to suit their needs, choo-
sing from first collection modules by specific categories of objects such as vases, lights,
speakers, organizer, charger\sockets and move them from furniture to furniture. FUI is
meant to be a project that tries to explore a new possible evolution of current “furnitu-
re” concept: a style innovation in which the simplicity of a daily used objects meets mo-
dularity function and induction technology wireless. The project has led to explore new
design scenarios, discovering new ways of interacting with objects and new possibilities
for hybridization.
