The Urban Shelf is less of a finished project but rather an ongoing design process to develop innovative human centred neighbourhood typologies. The design is driven by future human scale mobility and the decoupled support structure and infill units allow for holistic ecologic, economic and social design strategies.

For our own office design, circularity, acoustics and functionality were approached in an innovative way with the concept, "Arsenale", as a reference to the exhibition site in Venice.

Disegno Mobile goes back to the origins of Italian design, while opening up new horizons of innovation, where knowledge meets simplicity and everything revolves around well-being. A well-being that, starting from the careful choice of sustainable and high-quality materials, finds its genuine expression in the Disegno Mobile products: essential, refined, capable of lasting over time.
