| ROBOTS / MILAN INTERNATIONAL FURNITURE FAIR 2008 |
Robots was established in 1962. The production of the first furnishing components comes out in the 70's.
Since 1995 the company has been headed by Renato Rebolini, who has augmented the use of steel rod with that of new materials. The production possibilities have been amplified and the collection has been enriched with objects that harmonize with a modern concept of dwelling that sees the house encompassing new functions, fragmenting and recomposing spaces, and introducing new rituals. Between realism and intelligence, investigation into behaviours and feelings for beauty, the Robots story continues, more open than ever to new encounters.
This year, at the Milan International Furniture Fair, Robots presents some new furnishing items:
Giulietta e Romeo, design Chiara Rapaccini
Plate steel bookends, painted and silkscreened with the image of artist Chiara Rapaccini. It measures 20 cm in height by 16 cm wide. Numbered edition.
Stand up, design Cristiano Iacobino

It is available polished white lacquered and in the satined stainless steel version also usable outdoors.

It is composed of uprights joined together by a tubular element that supports the shelves, backs and sides, thus creating containers for a wide variety of uses, in both the floor and wall versions.

The side and back are also available in methacrylate in a number of color variations.
