The Frame Calacatta Gold Marble Dining Table was born from a simple element: the “joint”, which combined with elegant rounded extrusions at 45 degrees, creates an almost infinite family. The design is characterized by organic joints which – in their possible combinations – create minimal, compact and powerful structures. Designed by Stefano Giovannoni  for GHIDINI1961

Frame Collection is built starting from few elements that are able to create a large family with essential lines.

Dimension: 120 x 240 x 77 H cm

Small tables and storage units are played with different materials, such as glass, wood and marble, while the sofa has a leather structure and fabric cushions.

STEFANO GIOVANNONI

Stefano Giovannoni was born in La Spezia in 1954, architect and student designer of Buti at the University of Florence. In the early 1980s, he formed the King-Kong production group together with Guido Venturini. Behind a physicist of the role that seems the opposite of that of a designer pianist hides a talent capable of transferring into his projects the complex system of “affective codes” that made him the “Super & Popular” champion of the years 90. Metanoic designer par excellence, he has industrial design in his blood and the ability to understand the public like few others. Stefano Giovannoni is a designer who, more than any other, has worked in the world of home and kitchen accessories. He has collaborated with companies such as Alessi, Amore Pacific, Cedderoth, Deborah, Fiat, Hannstar, Hansemm, Helit, Henkel, Honeywell, Kokuyo, Inda, Laufen, Lavazza, LG Hausys, Magis, Mikakuto, Ntt Docomo, Oras, Oregon Scientific, Pepsico, Pulsar, Samsung, Seiko, Siemens, Sodastream, 3M, Telecom, Toto, Veneta Cucine, and many others. He designed products of great commercial success that broke all sales records in the design world such as the Girotondo families (over 10 million pieces sold) and Mami, the famous plastic products of the “FFF” series for Alessi, the Alessi bathroom -one, the Bombo family for Magis. For his ability to intercept the tastes of the general public, he was called “Champion of the super and popular of the 2000s” (A. Alessi), “The most banal designer” (E. Perazza), “King Midas of design” ( C. Morozzi). In 2016 he launches Qeeboo the Italian brand Next Generation of furniture and accessories, a project they collaborate on: Andrea Branzi, Front, Studio Job, Richard Hutten, Marcantonio, Daï Sugasawa, Marcel Wanders, Nika Zupanc.
