Wireframe collection | Alessandro Isola

Simple cubic volumes are subdivided, leaving only a series of planes encased in a wireframe outline. These planes are then varied in height to form platforms and storage, creating functional and modular pieces of furniture that can be arranged to suit the user.

A contrasting combination of rough timber and smooth metal is used to bring a sense of warm tactility to the simple modular forms. The wireframe form allows for the easy concealment of led strip lighting which illuminates the contents, filling the original volume with light.

Metal fins which form part of the panelling can be rotated to either open or restrict the view through, acting as a sun and privacy screen. Linear arrayed strips layering over one another from different modules can be used similarly to obstruct views or give shade.
