Gallotti&Radice, Diario collection: a new design vision

The Diario Collection is a coherent narrative that marks the history of the brand in the year of its 70th Anniversary, interpreting tradition, innovation and design sensitivity through a refined and timeless aesthetic, where memory and contemporary research coexist in perfect balance. This vision knows no time limit: like a diary, the story has been written day after day and page after page since 1956; the journey becomes a narrative and guardian of an evolving memory still to be written. Structured to welcome the richness of the new elements and convey a feeling of suspended, dense and enveloping calm.

A striking setting, where the furnishings become sculptural presences capable of inhabiting the space with a new and conscious density, featuring Orma designed by Martina and Massimo Castagna, a modular sofa with a low silhouette that redefines the concept of comfort through a seating system that rests in the environment with the naturalness of an organic imprint, blending geometric rigour and visual softness. Available with removable upholstery, in fabric or leather in the colours of the sample collection.

Glass finds its fullest expression in a multiple constellation, taking shape in a luminous scenography of lamps Tratto, designed by Draga & Aurel. Suspended graphic signs that deconstruct and recompose the purity of the cylinder, drawing a cascade of light in the air. In harmonic tension with the enveloping and luminous surfaces, the setting welcomes several pieces made from the new material BonBon Glass. Created from a blend of 100% recycled glass, bound by polymers containing plant-based components from renewable sources, it produces a surface crossed by crystallisations, inclusions and spontaneous variations. The material is enriched with inks in the shades "cherry" o "glacial-mint”. Not a full colouring, but a diluted one where light filters through and diffuses with changing intensity, encountering small clusters that evoke the graininess and brilliance of crystallised sugar, giving rise to unpredictable reflections. The marked structural and chromatic irregularities, together with the deliberately rough and tactile finish, are not imperfections to be corrected, but intrinsic qualities of the material itself. Each surface preserves the traces of the process that generated it, becoming a testimony to the artisan gesture and the unrepeatable uniqueness of the handmade, enhancing a new idea of glass precisely in the year of the company’s 70th Anniversary, with an eye to the future and sustainability, where matter asserts itself as potentially inexhaustible and in continuous regeneration.

The coffee tables Ri-Giro, design Samuele Tremolada, made of BonBon Glass, indeed celebrate the poetry that regenerates itself through a tactile texture obtained from recycled glass grit. A dialogue that extends to the coffee table Garçon, design Studiopepe, born from the balance between the sculptural presence of the leg — ranging from travertine to BonBon Glass — and the refinement of leather in a blush shade. Built around the joint between the top and the monolithic volume of the base, it appears as an essential design in the service of function. The same design purity is found in Dock, design Marialaura Rossiello Irvine, a cantilevered single-material coffee table in travertine powder or BonBon Glass : a continuous silhouette that challenges stasis through a light and rigorous section, like a silent landing place that does not seek attention, but remains waiting, ready to welcome a book or a thought.

Dainelli Studio, signs Chopin, a decorative mirror system composed of three modules with different patterns, designed to be combined with one another to create graphic compositions. By the same designers, Stresa Box, an evolved version of the wall composition of the same name with boiserie, integrated shelves and lighting, now with the addition of storage elements. Titta, design Federica Biasi, stems from a reflection on the seating typical of 1970s clubs, characterised by low volumes and enveloping forms. A 360° swivel lounge armchair that develops as a single, soft body, in which seat and backrest merge into a continuous line. Now presented in a lounge version, the Oto table, design Oscar and Gabriele Buratti, redefines balance through the off-centre leg.
A dense atmosphere, where design does not merely occupy the space, but defines it.
