LIFE AT | Move
10 years up and down. Bon anniversaire!
By Cristiana Colli
Movement, shifting while sitting still, a sense of space, and, seen from there, a landscape which changes, taken apart and recomposed, between details and the whole. Move is an invitation, a frame of mind which challenges gravity and the perception of form; it’s a vantagepoint onto the world. Round and welcoming but empty, it’s the embrace of a solid thread that extends, curves, is interwoven, draws near and goes far, turns and returns. Designed to rock, rest, and read, it’s made for an ice-cold vodka, a hot tea, a podcast to listen to facing a bow window. Move has a special story. It comes in just four colours, but it has also been the focus of experimentation with different configurations and finishes for special events, displays, and openings around the world; the solid ash frame, composed of thirty-one pieces which have been hand-lathed and put together, is the result of expert manufacturing capabilities; the seat, in the name of aesthetic versatility and ergonomics, is in fabric or in leather. Envisioned and designed by Rossella Pugliatti, it’s a perfect object, a manifesto, testimony to Giorgetti style and quality around the globe. Move is an icon of Italian design.
