Wittmann
An imaginary journey through the sophistication of Viennese salons and Venetian palazzos
CREATIVE DIRECTION
Our partnership with Wittmann emphasizes the significance of bridging distances through shared understanding, merging distinct design languages to create collections that fuse Viennese tradition with Italian classicism. In 2021, Luca Nichetto was appointed as the brand's creative director, affording us the privilege to design for the company and lead a team of creatives in crafting a new brand vision and advancing Austrian design heritage.COLLECTION
The inaugural partnership between Wittmann and our Studio commenced in 2020 with the launch of the Nichetto Workshop Collection, an ongoing exploration into the harmonization of emotional aesthetics and functionality. Drawing inspiration from Josef Hoffmann's patterns, jewelry, and abstract geometries, this collection focuses on dining, working, and sleeping areas. Comprising a sofa system, low tables, side tables, poufs, ottoman, beds, lounge chair, and lamps, it offers infinite configuration possibilities.
The Paradise Bird family, a cherished addition to the Nichetto Workshop collection, embodies the collection's essence and extends its values to the lounge environment. This bold design strikes a balance between form and essence, exuding both elegance and flexibility. A metal frame with a vertical grid pays homage to Wittmann’s heritage, lending the structure a graceful, embracing backrest.
To fulfill the need for continued innovation in the global market, we have expanded the brand's catalog with new additions in 2022. The Tuky side table, inspired by the distinctive shape of the toucan, features a sculpture-like form with a seamless fusion of base and top. Additionally, we have introduced the Andes swivel chair, which boasts a delicately rounded metal base. Our Paradise Bird family has also grown with the addition of a full back armchair, full back sofa, and high-back chair, featuring a precisely finished upholstered curved shell in place of the original family's extravagant metal frame.
WITTMANN'S JOURNEY TO THE OUTDOORS
At the beginning of 2023, Wittmann and Ethimo collaborated to create a line of outdoor furniture, a significant milestone in Wittmann's history. Led by Luca Nichetto, the partnership aimes to expand Wittmann's portfolio and offer their renowned craftsmanship in outdoor living. Instead of creating a new collection, the Paradise Bird family was evolved to reflect a commitment to continuity. The new Paradise Bird Outdoor collection includes a coffee table and pouf, a one-seater, and a two-seater, providing comfort and durability while seamlessly blending with any outdoor environment.MONUMENTAL, A BESPOKE EXHIBIT
Monumental, our bespoke interior installation, debuted during the prestigious Milan Design Week , in 2022. With meticulous attention to detail, our team envisioned and executed a one-of-a-kind exhibit, showcasing the brand's products as true works of art. We crafted the format of the installation to be adaptable and versatile, suitable for any occasion, from showrooms to trade fairs. Monumental is a grand celebration of the brand and its core values, perpetually commemorating its commitment to excellence.Credits:
