As the name indicates (Postino
means mailman in italian), the project draws references in the
paper and cardboard folding techniques as usually found on envelopes.
Using as main material anodized aluminium, the Postino range revisits
the common stationery items found on a desk using a minimal and
timeless approach, creating a link between the exterior and the
contained objects. The range includes a A4 paper tray, a A5 size
box with lid, an envelope holder, a pen stand, a small tray and
a ruler.
The laser-cut patterns and folding process creates a simple yet
interesting graphic language between plain surfaces and gaps and
the anodizing process gives aluminium deep color hues (black,
blue, silver) and scratch resistant surface. The A4 tray and A5
box can easily stack-up with the use of specialy designed plastic
parts. |
