Including Design.

International Design contest organized by architects without borders, Piemonte.

Tokit is a flexible modular system that allows to create multiple furnishings from a limited number of components.
The vertical supports are wood pieces with a L-section. This shape increases the rigidity, guarantees resistance and facilitates connections.
The upper parts, those that interact directly with people, have a greater degree of freedom.
The vertical modules are marked in color. These are like notes of a musical language that stimulate the creation of new compositions. These are the primary colors: yellow, blue and red, which are the basis of artistic education. In addition, they are a tribute to the 100-year history of De Stijl, the Dutch movement that considered architecture and design as protagonist of the social renewal.

The story of this door starts at Marcello’s house.
Marcello was always complaining about a door: despite so much oil he did, it kept having an annoying creaking sound.
One day he and his girlfriend had a quarrel. She left the room and shut the door so hard that a hinge break off.
Marcello got to the conclusion that the door brought him bad luck. The day after he threw the door in the street.
I felt sorry that a door had to became the scapegoat of people’s problems. I took it home and gave the door a new chance of life.
The relations of Marcelo died definitely, while the door is still alive, transformed into a table.
