design by Meneghello Paolelli Associati

Collection of rectified glazed porcelain tiles, for both floor and wall covering. Tiles are available with plain borders and with moulded edges, in the format 60x60 cm and 60x120 cm. Both versions present three different colors: ivory white, anthracite black and terracotta. Thanks to the shaping, obtained on the edges of the tile, Zip expands the decorative system incorporating the joint, making it a creative element as well as joining tiles. The colored and shaped joint becomes a graphic sign, thus creating a continuous surface. Zip is zipper, in all respects. The elegance of the colors, the simplicity of its design, the matt finish and the uniform texture enhance the decorative role of the joint, essential component of the design of this collection. Moreover, the perfect modularity facilitates the laying and creation of personal and inventive compositional schemes, ideal both in residential and extra-residential environments. The graphic signs of Zip become a style imprint, icon of a new way of interpreting ceramics.

Ventilated facades. BHC presents DISEGNA WALLING

03 April 2019

Disegna composite board floorings, distributed in Italy exclusively by BHC, have introduced, in the outdoor space design, new expressive possibilities, through an exclusive, high-quality product. Now, it will be possible to carry out also the façades with this innovative material. Fruit of a continuous research work and a careful production process, the system of WPC ventilated façade (wood plastic composite), becomes so a reality. The boards forming the ventilated façade system by Disegna present two finishes: smooth and grooved. Each board is reversible, so that during the laying you can choose the desired finish. The laying technique taking place through a male-female assembly system, with stainless steel fixings, guarantees, at any time, a correct and stable laying without visible screws. The WPC boards produced by Disegna are the most advanced material, whose aesthetic component has been designed carefully to offer added value to the projects. The wide range of colours and finishes allows applying it in various combinations and situations, by creating exclusive designs making the difference. Design solutions are available at the showroom BHC in Milan, Como and Torino.

Innovative coatings: architecture and colour

16 January 2019

The proposed concept for the site was to transform a single-use office building into a genuinely mixed use development incorporating office, retail, restaurant and residential use; seeking to create a new destination integrated within the local area. central_saint_gilesThe architects chose to situate the buildings around a new courtyard in the center of the site, which is connected by a publicly accessible route and ground floor public uses to the surrounding streets and spaces. The key elements of the scheme were to introduce activity into the area, provide a mix of uses particularly retail, restaurants and housing introducing daytime and night time surveillance, and creating a properly managed and controlled environment which is reflected in the urban design approach to the layout of retail units, spaces and pedestrian routes. Central Saint Giles Located in Camden, the project is part of a complex urban patchwork of medieval streets, modern buildings and traditional urban blocks. This environment had a dramatic impact on the design of the project. The scheme is composed of complex volumes, which are characterically chiselled fragmented and reduced in scale to match the surrounding buildings. These chiselled volumes mad St-G an impressive architectural sculpture characterized by a combination of shimmering facets. Central Saint Giles Each facet is unique, differing in height, orientation, color, and relationship to natural light. Glass, steel and ceramic are the primary elements of the skin. In each fact the ceramic is used in different shade and colors that respond to the surrounding building, thus helping to integrate the scheme in the immediate urban environment. Central Saint Giles At the core of the scheme there is a large courtyard, where the public activity is concentrated with its cafes and restaurants this piazza will generate social life, thus enhancing the urban identity of the site. A six-meter full height glass facade provides a maximum of transparency, five passages through this courtyard allow a permeable scheme and invite passers-by to this piazza shaded by a 20m high tree.

Kimano, decorated parquet becomes furniture

The parquet decorates itself and it becomes furniture. The Xilo 1934, specialized (also) in the field of wood floors, presented at Cersaie 2015 a product of great interest: the design floor Kimano. We talk about a decorated parquet, expression of a unique style that combines the elegance of wood product to the aesthetics of a classic finish. XILO_KIMANO4.jpg

This made in Italy product also has advantages, including ease of maintenance, as well as being more resistant to scratches and, in case of damage, the surface can be repaired. In addition, it is natural: no formaldehyde or toxic emissions, but only water paint with a greater protective layer. Kimono, available in multiple formats, is indicated for installations on radians and cooled; it is perfect for glued installation and floating.

XILO_KIMANO.jpg XILO_KIMANO2.jpg

And above all it gives rise to new locations. The flooring is no longer just finishes for interiors and exteriors, but it becomes subject to personalize our rooms and create geometric patterns or shapes that change the appearance. Kimano was created by the artist from Palermo Fiorella Bonanno. Daughter of art, with a love for decorations from a young age, Bonanno is passionately dedicated to the study and reproduction of typical Sicilian décor wood, keeping alive the artistic traditions of his homeland.  

Materials

Planium Metals for the airport scenarios

A "mantle" of Calamine laid on the floor covers the interior of an airport; Aviation Blue and Anthracite Gray for a setting that is not only for photography: Planium has installed Calamine and Embossed Steel slabs in the two important airports of the world Capital, New York, using the innovative PL01 Invisible dry installation system, with "one-click" between tiles. Also very popular with Calamina is the MG01 Magnetic Floor dry installation system, equipped with a magnetic underlay that binds to the metal core contained in the finish.

Stainless Concrete, a special steel

From a chromatic point of view, Stainless Concrete echoes Cement and for this reason, despite being a Steel, it has taken this name. Ash Gray, Khaki, Shell, Platinum: the shades of gray - the color of Steel as well as Zinc and Aluminum- generate an elegant but different coldness from that of Stainless Steel, because they are less monochordic and with different accents. This original effect, ideal for industrial environments, is obtained with electrolysis processes. If laid on the floor it will give the surfaces reflections of shine and shadow and create unusual plays of chiaroscuro.

Texture Stainless Concrete

For a quick and dry installation according to the technological systems designed by Planium - and among the fastest to adopt- is the magnetic one MG01, which uses the principle by which the metal core contained in the textures magnetically binds to the subtle substrate of which the System is equipped with. Other possible dry systems - easy to remove and to apply because without glues- are AP01 Lay (the fastest), PL01-one click with pressure hooking between tiles and SM02 Evolution, a mechanical system with fixing screw between slab and slab.

Our future is UNCERTAIN

We are SCARED but we HOPE for the best

There will be DRAMATIC CLIMATE CHANGES

Our role as DESIGNERS is to SUGGEST new lifestyles

The exhibition intends to send a message for a possible future taking into consideration the dramatic climate changes that we will be experiencing in the next 15 years. The artefacts embody uncertainty through messiness and accumulation: objects that clutter our lives today create the background for our projects. In this uncertainty our projects give us hope for a future.

INNOVATION STUDIO this year focused on how to design product-service system solutions for a very uncertain and unpredictable future. A future influenced by climate change that may transform some of our daily practices. Transformations, that need not be dramatic, but on the contrary may disrupt our habits for a better living on this planet, enhancing the sense of community, humanity and the quality of social interactions. Designers, as always, will have a crucial role in conceiving products and services that support people in this changing environment.

Climate change is affecting people and lifestyles. Some regions are already experiencing extreme weather events, while others are just starting to perceive these transformations. In the next few decades there seems to be little doubt that most cities around the world will have to adapt and attempt to mitigate some of the conditions that are emerging.

Without wanting to depict a dystopian picture, there are a few characteristics of the future that we can quite confidently predict as environmental conditions are transformed. Temperatures will be more extreme with longer heat waves, higher peaks of heat, and less difference in temperatures between day and night. Unpredictable and extreme weather events will be more frequent with water bombs, hurricanes and floods occurring regularly in places that were never exposed to these types of events before. The risk of fires will increase. We may have new insects and pests invading our habitats. In most regions there will be a shift in our relationship with water. Some areas will have water shortages, where others will experience flooding. Coastal cities will feel some degree of sea rise with consequences on residential and agricultural areas. The extent and severity of these changes depends on the level of intervention that occurs in the next few years.

As the years go by, we can expect some measures to mitigate or adapt to the changing conditions by governments and local authorities, meaning that we may see a range of different regulations being introduced. From a decrease in the use of fossil fuels for energy, to increasingly strict laws on plastic materials and waste in general. There may be incentives to transform buildings to ensure better insulation, green roofs, autonomous solar energy production and water storage. Carbon taxes on travel, transport and manufacturing may also affect the cost or availability of some goods and experiences we take for granted today.

Independently from how societies, governments and politics will react to these changes, and whether actions will be taken to transform societies for the better to tackle global warming, the change will be present and most likely shape some of our daily practices and material culture. New products will emerge as new living conditions and new practices are developed, which in turn will drive new services.

Designing life at home in new climate conditions means conceiving products and service systems destined to exist in a physical environment with changing conditions (such as greater heat and instability), but also a social environment with transformed daily practices due to changing regulations in mobility or energy. Attitudes may also change regarding the use of certain materials, waste or plant based diets. These changes may well affect all aspects of our daily life, and life at home, whether directly or indirectly.

IL MONDO DELLE WINX VOLA ALLA DESIGN WEEK

Un grande progetto di Rainbow per esaltare i valori del Made in Italy

in collaborazione con CILAB - POLITECNICO DI MILANO

 

Il design incontra il mondo della magia con le Winx: le fatine più trendy dell’universo, fiore all’occhiello di Rainbow e del Made in Italy, sbarcano alla Milano Design Week 2019 grazie al progetto “WINX LIFESTYLE MAGIC AND DESIGN”, frutto della prestigiosa collaborazione tra la global content company di Iginio Straffi e CILAB - Creative Industries Lab del Dipartimento di Design del Politecnico di Milano.

 

L’ambizioso progetto, che si colloca all’interno delle celebrazioni del 15esimo anniversario di Winx Club, ha coinvolto gli studenti che hanno analizzato le personalità, stile e i tratti distintivi di ognuna delle sei eroine, reinterpretandoli in veri e propri concept di lifestyle, innovativi e ricchi di magia.

 

I sei progetti, presentati alla Design Week di Milano, sono veri e propri spazi espositivi emozionali ispirati al mondo delle fatine raccontati attraverso arredi, complementi e grafiche uniche che saranno in grado di far immergere il visitatore nell’universo Winx, un’icona classica dalle applicazioni potenzialmente infinite.

 

Al progetto hanno partecipato 60 studenti del Laboratorio di Sintesi Finale del corso di Laurea Triennale in Design del Prodotto Industriale che, supportati dai docenti, hanno sviluppato delle proposte secondo un brief definito da Rainbow e CILAB. Gli studenti con le migliori proposte sono stati poi affiancati da un panel selezionato di aziende italiane con cui hanno finalizzato i progetti e realizzato i prototipi tenendo in considerazione materiali, tecnologie e categorie merceologiche di ognuna. Lo stretto rapporto di collaborazione tra il CILAB e le aziende coinvolte (CMC2.0, Piva Group, WallPepper®, Mosaico Digitale, FCA SNC, LC Forniture Industriali, Grifal SpA, On light PF, Specchiopiuma, Kose & ISI Milano, EDG Enzo De Gasperi, TaborGlit), esponenti di punta nei loro settori di riferimento, ha permesso ai giovani progettisti di confrontarsi e maturare professionalmente in una attività di formazione sul campo unica nel suo genere, e ha consentito alle aziende di mettersi in gioco in un progetto innovativo nel quale valorizzare le proprie potenzialità.

 

L’evento di inaugurazione avrà luogo all’interno del campus Bovisa del Politecnico di Milano il 10 Aprile, e l’allestimento esposto sarà visitabile per tutta la durata della Milano Design Week 2019, dal 9 al 14 aprile. Parallelamente all’esposizione, Rainbow e CILAB coordineranno incontri, tavole rotonde, speech e altre iniziative con lo scopo di raccontare i valori di successo del Made in Italy delle aziende coinvolte.

 

Le Winx sono una realtà di portata mondiale costituita da traguardi tutti italiani. Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna e Aisha continuano ad essere fonte d’ispirazione di storie e prodotti sempre inediti, e “WINX LIFESTYLE MAGIC AND DESIGN” è il nuovo progetto che vede le nostre fatine protagoniste indiscusse di questo 2019.

 

 

 

CMC2.0, con i suoi sistemi costruttivi in cemento, a monoblocchi o a pareti, ma comunque su misura e idonei per essere collocati “ovunque nel paesaggio”, ha convinto le Winx: non hanno sentito il bisogno di ricorrere alla magia per la realizzazione delle proprie case!

 

Piva Group, grazie ai suoi serramenti ha reso i monoblocchi vetrine espositive permettendo ai visitatori di proiettarsi all’interno degli allestimenti e di goderne i dettagli.

 

WallPepper®, mettendo a disposizione le proprie carte da parati ha permesso ai designer di personalizzare interni ed esterni degli allestimenti e di sperimentare le capacità tecniche ed estetiche dei loro prodotti.

 

Mosaico Digitale®, attraverso l’uso di innovative tecnologie e materiali ha contribuito nel rendere magici e interattivi gli spazi, stimolando i giovani progettisti a reinterpretare il mosaico.

 

FCA SNC, mettendo a disposizione il proprio know how e le proprie tecnologie ha guidato i designer nella finalizzazione degli arredi in legno e nella loro prototipazione.

 

LC Forniture Industriali, grazie all’approfondita conoscenza dei materiali nel settore design, ha reso possibile la realizzazione di arredi, complementi, lampade e accessori in plexiglass, oltre che oggetti in spugna tecnica ad alta densità e pavimentazione a specchio in composito alluminio e pvc.

 

Grifal SpA, ha trasferito ai designer la propria vision di un nuovo cartone ondulato – a marchio cArtù –  reinventato rispetto al suo classico utilizzo, portandoli a progettare librerie, sedute ed elementi di arredo inaspettati.

 

On Light PF, ha aiutato i designer nella realizzazione dell’illuminazione e degli effetti “magici” di luce all’interno degli spazi, mettendo a disposizione le loro più avanzate tecnologie.

 

Specchiopiuma, con i suoi sistemi flessibili e modulari per la realizzazione di superfici riflettenti ha potuto creare effetti ottici e di profondità negli spazi.

 

Kose & ISI Milano, hanno messo a disposizione le loro opere e i complementi di arredo in porcellana donando agli allestimenti l’aspetto di ambienti vivi.

 

EDG Enzo De Gasperi, con le sue decorazioni floreali ha permesso poi di aggiungere un tocco di natura e di realismo agli ambienti.

 

E infine TaborGlit, che con la sua materia prima rappresenta a pieno l’anima della serie animata fornendo un effetto magico e indistinguibile agli allestimenti.

BedZED: prototype of eco-neighbourhoods

19 November 2018

BedZED (Beddington Zero Energy Development) is the UK's first and largest carbon-neutral eco-community and is located in Sutton, a residential town 40 minutes South East from London. BedZED consists of 82 residential homes with a mixture of tenures – 34 for outright sale, 23 for shared ownership, 10 for key workers and 15 at affordable rent for social housing – and 1'600 square metres of work space, an onsite shop, café, sport facilities, health centre and childcare facilities with a further 14 galleried apartments for outright sale. Residents have been living at BedZED since March 2002 and currently BedZed is home to 220 residents. BedZed2The BedZED design concept was driven by the desire to create a net 'zero fossil energy development', one that will produce at least as much energy from renewable sources as it consumes. Only energy from renewable sources is used to meet the energy needs of BedZED the development is therefore a carbon neutral development - resulting in no net addition of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. BedZed1BedZED was developed by the Peabody Trust in partnership with Bill Dunster Architects (ZedFactory); ARUP and BioRegional Development Group, environmental consultants. Transport: A green transport plan promotes walking, cycling and use of public transport. BedZED has good public transport links, including two railway stations, two bus routes and a tramlink. BedZED was the first low car development in the UK to incorporate a car club. A 'pedestrian first' policy with good lighting, drop kerbs for prams and wheelchairs and a road layout that keeps vehicles to walking speed. The BedZED project introduced the first legally binding Green Transport Plan as a condition of planning permission. On-site charging points for electric cars are available in Sutton town centre. Energy: Buildings are constructed from thermally massive materials that store heat during warm conditions and release heat at cooler times. BedZED houses are arranged in south facing terraces to maximise heat gain from the sun, known as passive solar gain. 777 square meters are covered with solar panels. Each terrace is backed by north facing offices, where minimal solar gain reduces the tendency to overheat and the need for air conditioning. BedZED homes and offices are fitted with low energy lighting and energy efficient appliances to reduce electricity requirements. BedZED receives power from a small-scale combined heat and power plant (CHP). The heat from the CHP provides hot water, which is distributed around the site via a district heating system of super-insulated pipes. To enable residents and workers to keep track of their heat and electricity use, meters are mounted in each home and office kitchen. Water: Water use is reduced to 76 litres/day; out of which 18% represents rainwater or recycled water; use of aerated taps, low flush toilets, smaller bathtubs. One innovation at BedZED is the use of a reed-water biofiltration system that purifies blackwater into graywater for use in non-potable applications, such as toilet flush or water for gardening. Waste: separate waste collection system. Local materials: To reduce the embodied energy of BedZED, construction materials were selected for their low embodied energy and sourced within a 35-mile radius of the site where possible. Where possible, BedZED is built from natural, recycled or reclaimed materials.
