 ABITARE IL TEMPO 2005. KRIOS ITALIA


For 20 years Abitare il Tempo has been the most exclusive trade fair for interior design, an event which reaches across the entire product range at the highest level, where traditional and avant-garde, classical and contemporary exist side by side in perfect harmony.

In 2005, Abitare il Tempo was twenty years old. In these twenty years it has presented the best of "made in Italy" in the field of décor and design. An often inspiring period of time, during which it has featured exhibitions, research and debates which have undoubtedly contributed to the development of project design. The objective is clear: to construct domestic environments which speak the language of décor appropriate for the beginning of the third millennium.

Between the more interesting proposals of Abitare il Tempo 2005 in Verona, we signal Krios, new brand of Gruppo Nardo Vetro, an historical company from Northeastern Italy specialized in glass manufacturing. Krios will present the results of research on innovative developments of the aesthetics and forms of glass.

The new collection, characterized by renewed planning ability, was born from the synergy of a group of designers, who although young are well known in the design community, Giulio Iacchetti and Matteo Ragni, Odoardo Fioravanti, Adrien Gardere, Gabriele Pezzini and Marcello Ziliani, all coordinated by Luca Nichetto.
Each of the seven designers, has his own personal style and work method. They have agreed to interpret Krios'es objectives by launching a new concept of living, anticipating fashions and trends, and considering the wants and needs of the evermore attentive consumer.

Giulio Iacchetti presented the table 4T squared & long, Marcello Ziliani the mirrors Frame, Luca Nichetto with Odoardo Fioravanti the table Gem, Matteo Ragni the small table and consolle Host and Joke system, Marcello Ziliani presented Modulo floor e wall, Adriene Gardère the mirror Skyline, Luca Nichetto the small table Tape and Xel system, Gabriele Pezzini the tables Window 1 and Window 2, and Odoardo Fioravanti with the products Tree, Sky, Earth and Flowers.

Avoiding the excessive rigor which often characterizes glass furniture, the natural forms have been colored and their function renovated, allowing the objects to adapt to different contemporary living environments: from the house to the office, to public and private areas.

In these new proposals, Design is pleased to let itself be contaminated by Art, thanks to the use of particular textures, film and chromatic experiments (in cooperation with NardoVetro's Color R&D Department), which innovate the image of the glass and allows the final consumer to personalize the objects.
A collection that plays on the continual action of visual, material, typological and chromatic research; an absolutely unexpected collection which represents the starting point for Krios for upcoming formal and material experiments in the Design world.
