TRIFULA By Eugenia Minerva
The Trifula chair by Italian designer Eugenia Minerva was inspired by a study on the weaving process used by skilled artisans to form dense fish traps in the South of Italy. The prototype – exhibited at Salon Satellite in Milan – showcases the ancient tradition of weaving bullrush and wires to form dense structures. “Trifula also embodies a dialogue between the handmade and industrial production and is a tribute to the disappearance of ancient traditions as well as to the use of natural materials,” adds Minerva.

WOVEN EASY CHAIR B by Alexander Mueller
The Woven Easy Series by Austrian designer Alexander Mueller explores the designers obsession with the dynamics created by curves, kinks or twists in straight lines. “Woven Easy Chair B uses straight lines and angular planes in order to create a sense of movement within the chair’s form,” explains Mueller. The geometric seating pattern is created by weaving waxed cord around an ash timber structure, drawing on the deconstruction of traditional weaving methods and examining the relation between frame, cord and end user.
TRINITY by Adam Cornish
Trinity is a series of three bowls designed by Adam Cornish for Alessi. The Melbourne designer’s prototype caught the attention of the famous Italian brand who launched the bowls at the same time as their partnership with Georg Jensen Australia. The bowls are created from sheet steel that undergoes a laser-perforating process before being twisted and fused to form an elegant woven structure. Cornish’s design was inspired by the concentric, spiral structure of the Nautilus shell.
