STARDUST
Monolithic side table or stool in fibreglass and lightweight concrete
The STARDUST design pouf is born from a concept that goes beyond the traditional distinction between furniture and material, between function and form. Designed to be used both as an additional seat and as a practical shelf, it is distinguished by a versatility that makes it ideal especially for Outdoor environments, while also fitting naturally into indoor spaces with a contemporary taste.
Its personality comes to life right from the choice of materials and the production process: STARDUST is made from a special blend of resin, pigments and recycled glass powder, now from recovered solar panels. This compound gives the product a strong material identity, characterised by irregular, deep and always unique surfaces.
The shape, deliberately organic and devoid of geometric rigidity, is designed to transform according to the angle of observation. Each perspective returns a different image, bringing it closer to a natural element than to a mass-produced object. Underlying it, however, is a careful design process, conceived to guarantee constant quality and replicability.
STARDUST is part of a broader research on the dialogue between design, material and transformation, reinterpreting natural suggestions in a contemporary key. The result is a furnishing accessory with a distinctive character, almost suspended between natural and artificial, terrestrial and cosmic.
TECHNICAL INFO
Structure: The STARDUST design pouf is made by means of a silicone mould. The process involves the initial application of a layer of glass powder mixed with resin inside the mould, followed by the insertion of fibreglass and a mixture of lightened cement. The combination of these materials - fibreglass and cement - results in a strong, yet lightweight and high-performance structure.
