Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Vanni’s Adriano series is the result of a collaboration with the artist brothers Adriano.

Vanni’s home town of Turin, Italy, was nominated World Design Capital for 2008. So to join in the spirit of the events, Vanni decided to explore to relationship between art and design, by commissioning the artist brothers Adriano, to design a concept range.

The result is a stunning small collection of visually pure, yet pleasantly challenging frames. Based on the basic premise of manipulating simple geometric shapes and applying a combination of contrasting colours and subtle tonal differences, the original vision and idea is achieved beautifully in these design sculptures.

The Adriano range will be exhibited at 100% DESIGN in London in late September.
