19/04/2019 - During
Milan Design Week,
Sancal station became a multicultural stop for the
Salone del Mobile. Travellers from all over the world came and went, not without immortalizing some of the corners and details at
Turati.
Those who had already alighted at some point in one of the M3 line stops, instantly recognized the shapes and colors that inspired the Sancal stand. Those travellers who had never fully appreciated the graphic architecture of these stations, have rediscovered it. A delirious tribute to the classic modernity of Milan and its metropolitan line, undoubtedly a worthwhile challenge for the
Castaño-López sisters.
The passenger requests were attended in the kiosk; a digital signage system offered information about the products on show; even the PA system reproduced station messages in multiple languages… underground elements surrounding an new furniture collection.
Turati is also a set of products designed by the Italian master
Luca Nichetto. In this first collaboration with Sancal, the designer signs four products inspired by the architecture, graphics and textures of the mentioned station, providing a common aesthetic language. Just like people on a station, each of the pieces has its own personality and job to do.
During the Salone it’s being possible to take a seat on a
Next Stop sofa upholstered with the new eco-friendly
Zero textile designed by
Marie-Louise Rosholm, also on an
Interchange bench and a
Meeting Point pouf or carefully step onto a
Mind the Gap rug.
Turati Collection also includes other new products. The comfortable
Alpino sofa by
Rafa García; the multifaceted
Estante, designed by
Juan Ibañez; the
Tonella poufs from the Swedish
Note Design Studio; a new finish for the acclaimed
Pion tables by
Ionna Vautrin and a careful selection of objects for the lifestyle line
COSAS; such as
Tail &
Icons designed by the Berliners duo
Geckeler Michels.
