Altridea

 

As our lives accelerate to keep pace with today's frantic world, many times it happens that our exigencies and our mood vary easily and we would like to have a magic wand to change things according to them.

Luckily for us, Altridea, an emergent Italian design brand, has thought to this necessity by creating pieces of furniture able to adapt their shapes and functions to the ever changing human needs. A unique blend of innovative ideas, “Made in Italy” design, high quality materials and accuracy of the production, capable of shaping objects that are versatile, beautiful and modern.

Rometta is a perfect example of this philosophy, a wooden cubic form that can be either a table or a chair with a magazine rack, as well as Vivano, a funny name, coming from the union of the Italian words for “to live” and “sofa”, which perfectly describes the essence of this product, a sofa composed by three parts that can be used singularly either as an armchair or as a bed. These along with Copenhagen, a modular bookcase, and Tayuta, a chair with clothes hangers on its back, are just some of the many interesting proposals coming from the first Altridea collection, presented this year at Fuorisalone Milano.
