Veliero
Veliero is a minimalist shelving system created by Italy-based designer Filippo Andrighetto. The latest collection focuses on Soft Futurism, an approach that blends traditional heritage with forward-looking innovation. This philosophy manifests in the design through the use of contrasting materials such as raw metals alongside solid wood and natural fabrics. These elements are strategically paired to highlight their intrinsic qualities and to promote both tactile and visual engagement. The collection is deeply rooted in Italian craftsmanship and adheres to the principles of slow design, ensuring that each piece not only reflects meticulous attention to detail but also the craftsmanship involved in furniture making.
Collaborative efforts with skilled craftsmen, artists, and other professionals are integral to the design process, adding layers of expertise and creative nuance. One notable piece, the Veliero, exemplifies this philosophy. It incorporates techniques from traditional Japanese carpentry, specifically the use of interlocking joints, and is influenced by the simplicity and material focus of Danish classic furniture. The choice of solid oak underpins a commitment to durability and quality. Veliero’s design features clean lines and plain surfaces that aim to achieve a timeless aesthetic, free from transient trends. Its unique, fastener-free assembly not only highlights the purity of its form and materials but also elevates the piece to a sculptural level, emphasizing its functionality as art. This item is also available as a customizable modular shelving system, adding versatility to its aesthetic and functional appeal.
