Gio minelli and his design make between art, interior and industrial design

Gio Minelli combines, in his projects, his artistic roots with the technologies and research typical of industrial design.

It starts from a first approach that is more artistic, expressive, gestural, and in some cases even almost pictorial, which translates, later, into the material realization of the actual project.

Like his "Anomalie" collection, which develops from a gesture of rebellion.

A rebellion seen as the only expressive gesture, even in the materials that make up the object, which shape, take on new features and sophisticated forms, while keeping their function intact.

A collection, born in 2004, of small tables, chairs and consoles made entirely of mirror-polished stainless steel.

The breaking of the patterns is represented by the legs that, with a harmonious movement, impose their presence invading the space of the support surface to express themselves fully in a dance of curves.

The line, although simple and essential, is charged with a strong dynamism that gives a completely new form and structure.

The harmony created by the rebellion of the elements may seem like a real contradiction, but in reality it gives an extreme balance to the final composition. A perfect dynamism, full of elegance and simplicity, for a truly unique collection.

This is not the first collection for the designer, who had already put himself into play in 2002, experimenting with some pieces in a limited series.

In that case, liquid painted steel seats were created. Sitting on the border between art and design, made comfortable thanks to the harmonic steel that folds following the seated person.

A collection born as an experimentation of materials and inspirations where there are neither edges nor corners and where the lines are pure and essential. At the base, also in this case, there is a search for dynamism, in which the curved shape takes possession of the scene.
