THE 4 COLLECTIONS ARE
FLIC-FLAC

20.20 chair _ 2020
The first letter of the alphabet is the inspiration behind the new 20.20 collection. We started from the classic “h” silhouette, which in the collective imagination represents the object chair, and added the backrest in the point where the front legs intersect with the rear ones, resulting in an “A” profile.
Each part is cut from both curved and straight ash veneered multi-ply plywood and is absolutely formaldehyde-free. This kind of wood is functional to obtaining geometries otherwise impossible with solid wood, in fact, multi-ply wood allows for material continuity where parts should be joined together. The four bolts placed between the backrest and the legs make the disassembling of the chair possible, contributing to a correct circular waste management at the end of its life cycle. The strength of this product lays in the impeccable balance of the forms that make this chair perfect for every environment, both domestic and commercial.
We thought about a threefold declination for the 20.20 chair:
1. ESSENZA: uncompromising pure design.
2. PAD: for those who love upholstered seats.
3. SOFT: for those who want to further enrich the chair with an upholstered backrest and play with colourful fabrics and timber finishes.
Everything strictly in the name of comfort.

Tria chair_2011
Tria is a chair that recalls the impossibile forms of Dutch graphic artist and engraver M.C. Escher, defining itself in a game of twists and elusive leak. The corolla-shaped shell, composed of three equal elements assembled together, lends itself to accommodate a sequence of colours chasing each other. It can be used in two different seating positions, center or side (right or left). The shell, in curved plywood, is available in natural oak or stained black oak, as well as colored in three versions. There are two versions of the leg: chromed metal, stackable; alternatively in solid natural or stained black oak.

Pelle chair_2013
It looks elegant, spacious, and its semi-circular back and arm rest reflect the design language of Scandinavian classics: Pelle (in Italian: skin, leather; the name of a character in Astrid Lindgren‘s, Vacation on Seacrow Island‘) is the name of the refined new entrant to the contemporary range of chairs.The special thing about Pelle: Its freely hanging seat made from core leather. It is also refined in the leather-bound aluminium inlay used for the shaping of the seat. This solution stabilises the chair without taking the flexibility of leather away from it. In design terms, the merging back and arm rest is its stand-out feature.
Table_ 2007
Perfect for a tête-à-tête or a few friends over for tea, Otis is a round table for small dining areas or cafès. The base is made of bent sheet metal, like old industrial stools. Depending on the diameter of the top, it has three or four legs.
Otis completes the De Padova collection with a table of compact dimensions.
It is perfect for small dining areas or cafeterias.
Snug sofa _2018

Fair stand design Salone del Mobile_2022
Greece and the sea
Greek culture is very much related to its marine culture. Living with the sea and living from the sea are crucial elements throughout Greek history.
Fishing and fishing nets became a point of our interest, especially with the upcoming trend to create things out of recycled ocean plastic.
The concept of the stand would be to use recycled fishing nets and create single hanging units to display the chairs. We would need to check if recycled nets could work, otherwise, we will find other solutions.

Volpe_2016
It is impossible not to think of Charles and Ray Eames or of Enzo Mari and the game of the 16 animals when talking about design and wood animals; anyhow it seems that the pedagogic, aesthetic and formal research on wood animals in the design world stays alive and cyclically reappears as to suggest that designers and design firms carry in their DNA a strong interest for the zoomorphic interpretation.
Woodyzoody was born from an idea of Giulio Iacchetti and it presents itself as a small wood animal publisher; it is the result of the challenge that 12 designers have decided to pick participating to this coral project; here opinions and ideas have been shared to give birth to a first collection of animals: the chick, the platypus, the chicken, the hippopotamus, the sperm whale, the beaver, the toucan, the woodpecker, the fox, the octopus, the ray and the ostrich.
The Woodyzoody animals have been created following a personal and aesthetic research by each designer and they all have one common element: every piece is turned and then worked by the numerical control machine.
These animals are little design objects, result of formal synthesis and abstraction, that tickle the dreams of those who haven’t forgot the sweet taste of childhood.
The chosen woods for the collection come from different parts of the world: from Europe to Oceania through North and South America; every animal is associated with the wood of his native continent, so that the eye, the touch and the sense of smell perceive different suggestions and feelings.
The first Woodyzoody collection is a project realized toghether with:
Federico Angi, Giorgio Biscaro, Francesco Faccin, Odo Fioravanti, Giulio Iacchetti, Elia Mangia, Giacomo Moor, Lanzavecchia&Wai, Lorenz+Kaz, Lorenzo Palmeri, Matteo Ragni, Paolo Ulian.
Woodyzoody will be presented at the Salone del Mobile 2016 at he ASAP (as sustainable as possible) showroom.
The set-up project is in collaboration with Tommaso Caldera.

In the beginning there was movement and a production process. The most striking feature of the chair PELLE is its freely suspended seat.
For designer duo Lorenz+Kaz, it was the inspiration behind the concept of their installation for the FEATURED EDITION. Hence, the basic theme was found -swinging seating- and an illusion to the ultimate representative of this concept: the swing carousel. When we were thinking about the design of the carousel, we considered how to incorporate a representation of the production process of Pelle.
Both the initial development phase and eventual method of production of Pelle greatly involve the use of a five-axis milling machine. Hence, poetry meets technology, swing carousel meets milling machine, rotation meets rotation.
Curated by STYLEPARK, the FEATURED EDITION installation shows PELLE AIR from Lorenz+Kaz: The seat shell of the chair PELLE is featured as a carousel, alluding to an oversized milling head.

We liked the idea to use a very old tradition and "refresh" the motives by using contemporary design icons.
Springerle
These have been and still are traditional Christmas cookies in Bavaria, Swabia and Austria for centuries. Springerle cookies originated in the German province of Swabia in the 15th century. They are white, anise-flavored cookies, made from a simple egg-flour-sugar dough. Usually rectangular or circular in shape, they have a picture or design stamped on the top. The images are imprinted with flat molds (Springerle presses, or boards).
