Design: 21st Design Lab
A bookshelf created without compromise
From the studio of the young designers of 21st Design Lab an idea comes to life. An object with a precise function is recreated by emulating the movements of the most quintessential form of nature: the tree. Any creation can be considered authentic if it remains faithful to its function. This is the moment when the creation becomes an industrial object of the highest level. Its beauty is born of its essence, a timelessness that is unaffected by trends, like the synthesis of a Greek thought channeled into a classical design. As a result of these considerations, 21st has created Wintertree. This stylized form of the tree holds objects, books and memories in an original shape that is not limited by its surroundings and is equally at home in both usual and unusual contexts. Wintertree is a sculpture with a function. 21st‘s production is always ready to utilize natural forms, in fact many items within the collection represent a clear reinterpretation of ideas inspired by the earth. Within this context, we find the other main element of structured research within the company: colour. This concept merges with design resulting in home interiors that are both creative and original. Lacquer provides the objects with a surface that is extraordinarily smooth and velvety, a fusion between technology and poetry that recalls the archetypal themes of traditional interior decoration. Colour imparts the last impulse of personality to an object that is ready to take on the role of protagonist.
