Fractal

The design of the collection of furniture Fractal is inspired by the fractal geometry.

A geometric object that repeats itself in its shape and at different scales, expanding or reducing itself, even though obtaining a shape similar to the original one. The term “fractal” comes from the Latin fractus, i.e. fragmented.

Fractal sees, in fact, the recurrence of linear wooden elements, shaped in their section, which follow one another facing themselves in different soft inclinations, which make the composition definitely plastic but, at the same time, vibrating.

To enrich the Fractal collection of furniture, Fractal sideboard is born, whose pattern plays with the juxtaposition of three-dimensional elements with a triangular or trapezoidal section and flat parts, that interpose themselves in order to create a movement that reaches out to the infinite.

Elena Pancaldi

Born in Modena in 1970. He graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Milan Polytechnic with a thesis on Pierre Chareau a la Maison de Verre, after spending the last academic year at the Ecole d'Architecture de l'Academie des Beaux-Arts in Paris. At the same time, he attended restoration seminars at the Ecole du Musée du Louvre in Paris. He returned to Milan where he qualified as a professional architect in 1997, taking the State Examination at the Polytechnic. In 1998 he founded Officina di Architettura in Modena, creating a company that today boasts a team of experts and talented collaborators. Officina deals mainly with public and private architecture in Italy and abroad, the most representative expression of which has taken the form of top-level residential projects over the last decade. The transversal nature of the research into materials and the techniques of processing and valorisation, as well as the ever-increasing need to express a personal concept of integrated design, has given rise over time to a veritable collection of objects and furnishing accessories produced in collaboration with some of Italy's most interesting and qualified craftsmen and industries.
