SERVOMUTO at MDW 2015
Graphic designer Alessandro Poli and architect Francesca De Giorgi are inspired from vintage forms and unusual, old and forgotten objects and experiment in aesthetics, colors, styles and craftwork since 2007 when SERVOMUTO was born to "manipulate lampshades" as they say. SERVOMUTO presents four new projects (Chandelier, Patio, Guinea and Meringa Ø 35) during the Milan Design Week 2015 TRADEFAIR.
The CHANDELIER project demonstrates a work-in-progress construction of a large chandelier on the SERVOMUTO stand during the days of the event. The second project is PATIO, the first non-lamp project from the studio. PATIO is a blind for creating a separate or partitioned space and combines natural materials such as wood, stone and iron. Its size is 300 X 215 cm and is composed of four oak poles and a system of horizontal hinged iron bars that hold taut the eighteen separate fabric panels. For these two projects the designer duo had the valuable support of the company Dedar who supplied fabrics and trimmings.

The limited edition floor lamp Guinea as PATIO explores the aesthetics of bricolage. The base of the lamp is a block of untreated Portoro marble chosen individually to ensure the uniqueness of each lamp. The stem is an oiled oak pole while the vertically adjustable shade is made from triple layered, hand pleated organza. Finally, Meringa Ø 35 are two tone ceiling lamps in five different color combinations, a typical SERVOMUTO style of form and color.
