1:22 COLLECTION | Monica Taverniti

For the the sixteth editon of the Salone del Mobile, Dilmos opened to the public a new furniture collecton with a strong architectural matrix, renewing the distnctive sign that has characterized all its productions and hereby re-affirming its focus on research.
The collaboration with Monica Taverniti opens a new chapter of dialogue between the gallery and the theme of production in both seriality and uniqueness

The collectuon 1:22 is inspired by the composition of spaces and volumes typical of architectural projects.

As the architect herself says, “the distance between the project of a building and the project of a design object is shortened by the propension to think of anything as an inhabited place. Furniture is, in fact, a space inhabited by life, used daily. The difference lies in the scale of realization”.
It is precisely from this ‘scale’ that the collection has borrowed its name, referring directly to the world of architectural representation. Professionals know that the 1:20 scale already allows for a good detail work, the choice of using an unusual scale such as 1:22 represents a deviation wanted by Monica Taverniti, in order to indicate the intention of “staying WITHIN the drawing to be able to see the world”

The collection, composed of seven pieces:

three benches, one console, one closet, one table and a cupboard

and has been inspired by the ‘Maquettes’, sculptural objects developed by the architect on view in Dilmos since September 2020: these objects embody in fact the genesis of the research on line and colour and the meaning of composition in Architecture and Design.
The pieces of the collection 1:22 combine the seriality granted by the historical production partners of the gallery with the manual personalization by Monica, a three-dimensional painting that dresses each piece of furniture making it unique while at the same time reproducible in infinite chromatic combinations.
