CLO
Is it an armchair? A pouf? A sculpture? A metaphor? Out of reach and yet so real, it is a satellite but also a center of attraction and an abstract form. Emanuele Magini lives up to his aesthetic style capable of overcoming all conventions, playing on the fine line between causing astonishment and being functional, straddling scenography fascinations and practical furnishings. A smooth and compact item made of polyurethane foam, with a removable cover in colored Lycra that generously lends itself to be – amongst other things – a seat, and to offer the proper support for indulging in relaxing and sweet thoughts. Clo, by Emanuele Magini (2023) is also available in the mini version.
To avoid the boredom of acquired positions, to overcome the immobility of sedimented situations, to set desires and pleasures back in motion, Campeggi imagines a bright and dynamic universe of transformable furnishings ready to move and change to accommodate the pleasure of living, experiencing, and changing.
To speed things up before you yawn, Campeggi offers its own dictionary made of Comfort, Agility, Movement, Pragmatism, Economy, Grace, Play, and Unpredictability.
Convenience, the use of technologically advanced materials, and the result of cutting-edge ergonomic studies; the physical but also mental agility of each piece in the collection.
