PiantaLà
Sunlab 2012 contest WINNER
Status : Prototype
DESCRIPTION
“Piantalà’ is a partition made from metal rod which graphically portrays the outlines
of a traditional white picket fence.
Each module is made-up of a grid-like formation reminiscent of a standard chain link fence and can be planted directly into the ground or into pots, allowing for numerous configurations.
The linear composition of ‘piantalà’ can be used to define public and private space, indoors and out, offering a screen of privacy through plant life.” from Designboom
REVIEWS
“Piantalà takes the iconic picket fence and scales it back to be almost sketch-like. At first glance, it looks like a graphic cartoon drawing of a fence but then you realize it’s actually a real fence” from Designmilk
“PiantaLa by Andrea Rekalidis has a sweet and subtle visual character that enhances the elaborate beauty of garden greenery.” fromTRENDHUNTER
“Ok, there is no possible way you can purchase this item yet as they are still looking for a manufacturer. But this PiantaLa just won the Sunlab 2012 competition and I am sure it wont be too long before we see it on the shelves. Well done to the Italian designer Andrea Rekalidis” from MY HUNTER GATHERER
______________________________________
PiantaLà reinterpreta l’icona della staccionata riducendola ad un segno grafico in tondino metallico.
Un divisorio da piantare nei vasi o direttamente nel terreno, la griglia permette la crescita del rampicante che ci protegge da occhi indiscreti.
Ripetendo il modulo è possibile creare soluzioni lineari per delimitare spazi pubblici o privati, in interno o in esterno.
La forma stessa dichiara la funzione del complemento.
PiantaLà è stata selezionata fra i vincitori del concorso SunLab 2012 e sarà esposta al SUN di Rimini dal 7 al 9 Ottobre 2012.
