Gea
OUT OF COLLECTION
Elsewhere inside the home
With a conceptual and sculptural trait, Emanuele Magini (2022) imagines a new and unusual seat with integrated resting surface. The quest for privacy is what inspires Gea, a soft truncated cone-shaped volume covered in colourful Lycra with metal and white ABS base and inner area that is a seat but also a comfortable bed. The whole creates a space of freedom, enveloping and protective, like a large domestic shell.
