ITALIAN DESIGN selected by Venice Design Week
How can design REvive tradition? Traditional production systems and innovative design
This year in Berlin, DESIGN WEEK network presents an exhibition that brings together products of fashion, interior, industrial design with the aim to inform the German public about the Italian creativity and quality. Scope of this exhibition is to create a business network among designers, enterprises, retailers and the German public. The exhibited works have been selected for the high quality of working processes to show the relationship between innovation and tradition. The exhibition points out the talent and creative potential of small Italian creators, enterprises, artisans and designers coming from industrial, fashion and product design.In Italy there are many high quality and innovative creative design companies, dispersed throughout the country; when it comes to micro enterprises, artisans and designers with difficulty manage to enter the international market. In order to facilitate their integration, DESIGN WEEK network has started a network of relationships within the international design weeks, featuring events aimed at enhancing “Good Design” , performing exhibitions in design centers and other strategic meeting points, located in high-frequency and shopping areas.

Bartoli Design, a team comprising Carlo, Paolo and Anna Bartoli,
continues the experience in design begun by Carlo Bartoli in 1960
and developed through many partnerships with leading companies
in the furniture sector. The studio’s research explores elegance based
on simplicity and balance: from the initial concepts to product de-
velopment, art direction and communication strategies, the studio’s
activities embrace the full spectrum of design services. Bartoli Design
also works on architecture, exhibition design, interior design, urban
design. Combining creativity with a deep understanding of technol-
ogies and industrial processes, on one side, and of craftsmanship
5. innovation with plastic chairs
from fiberglass with polyester resin, to the world’s first polypropylene injec-
tion-moulded single seat piece, from flat polypropylene parts curved and
plugged into an aluminium frame in no time, to the latest air moulding
process for thermoplastic injection or the innovative R606 polymer giving
comfort to a edgy shape - over 40 years of continuous research, Bartoli
Design applied new technologies for plastics to the design of chairs.

8. authentic materials
designing with natural hide, brass, solid
wood, concrete, glass, marble... Bartoli De-
sign is making candid statements of the true
nature of materials, retaining their authen-
ticity with simple, honest projects yet pow-
erful enough to challenge time and gain
the imperfect uniqueness of lived things.

12. Himalayan wool, Indian silk
big knots, simple manufacture, in respect of the Tibetan weaving
tradition, designing details to enhance the characteristics of the
soft undyed Himalayan wool in its natural shades - or composing
the shiny vibrance of Indian silks into masterful works with the fluidi-
ty of watercolours: inspirations from the earth, the rocks and the sky
trasformed into patterns of lights-and-shades by Bartoli Design.

17. designing material surfaces
to express the inherent suggestion of the surfaces and the skil-
fulness in working them, Bartoli Design explored formally line-
ar and controlled designs: patterns, consistent with the qualita-
tive nature of wood, metals, stones and hide, exalt their essence.

21. beyond the fascination of transparency,
many more extraordinary properties of
glass are exploited by Bartoli Design
in their projects: load-bearing, structur-
al, curved, mouth-blown or centrifuged
glass is used to combine inspiring
aesthetics and technical performaces.

26. optimizing the shape of modules and then searching for
an armonic balance between solids and voids is a way
of designing and finding solutions to structural problems
for Bartoli Design; such compositions show an exacti-
tude deriving from a geometrical logic out of inspiration
from nature… everything can be disassembled, re-as-
sembled and completed to create multiple solutions.

28. intersections of lines
intersections of simple elements create strenght; frag-

when connected: some of Bartoli’s designs explored
nodes, intersections, juxtapositions of lines in space,
to define tridimensional volumes, light yet robust.

31. volumes & iconic masses
a volume with no front, back or side to put it right in the centre
of the space as a sculpture, modular container units recalling
the geometric order of crystals, totem-like furniture resembling
essential architectures: pieces where the architectural nature
and the sculptural impact on the environment are most evident.

51. upholsterd products greatly reflect our differences in the perception of
comfort, ergonomics, product agreability and user friendliness; tensioned
or soft, flat or draped, Bartoli thinks upholstery is a powerful mean for
designers to enhance different qualities of the objects underneath.
