VIDUN By DE PADOVA
The iconic Vidun by Vico Magistretti is enriched with new stylistic elements: an ultralight glass top free of reflections that highlights the characteristic base resembling a large screw, and serigraphy of the De Padova and Vico Magistretti Original logos, in collaboration with the Vico Magistretti Foundation. A stabilizing ring calibrates the balance of an object that transcends time and fashion.
"Many objects are linked to personal quests, to our profession as architects; a new home, the need for a different object for our architecture, the annoyance of not having a functioning bedside lamp, and thus, almost like Robinson Crusoe, the necessary objects are created, but above all, they are immediately realized." - Vico Magistretti
Inaugurating the De Padova table collection back in 1987, Vidun is still one of the most famous, recognized and admired projects by Vico Magistretti. A masterpiece of interlocking pieces that bring to mind a ‘vidun’, which means big screw in the Milanese dialect, it is made of natural, white or black beech wood in coordinated shades — purple with turquoise and green, red with yellow and duckbill orange — or black walnut. The sculptural and perfectionist glass top reveals the base. “It is always the conceptual detail that attracts people’s attention”, said Vico Magistretti.
Materials:
BASE: solid Canaletto walnut, finished with transparent water-based or solvent-based coating. Or in solid natural beechwood finished with transparent water-based or solvent-based coating (white or black) or aniline-dyed (violet-turquoise-green or red-yellow-goose beak yellow), finished with transparent water-based or solvent-based coating.
