D/VISION.0 TRUMEAU

D/Vision.0 by Fratelli Boffi
For the D/Vision collection, Ferruccio Laviani implements a process of decomposition and separation, on different levels. Starting from the trumeau – a fashionable item back in the 1950’s – Laviani redesigns its outline, making it an unexpected, surprising object, while still unveiling its original shape.
The collection is made up of three versions: D/Vision .0, D/Vision .1, D/Vision .2.
D/Vision .0 maintains the shapes and finishings of the original furniture, as well as the crimped walnut typical of that time period, the ashlar-work of the lower part and the brass tips. The ensemble is subverted by a long, orange, fluorescent Plexiglas sheet which cuts the upper part of the item like a blade, altering its structure. The oval mirror in the middle of the upper part is thus divided into two parts and, as a result of this split, acquires two different materials. Therefore, the upper part is mirrored, whereas the lower part lacks the mirroring effect and is made of glass, so that the shelves and the content of the unit remain visible.
