FRAMES is the new product family designed by Maurizio Navone and presented by RestartMilano for Milan Design Week 2016. Based on a modular system, it explores multiple compositional possibilities and is, therefore, open to numerous functions.

By using two construction elements from Olivetti’s exhibition design project in the 1980s, a die-cast joint and metal tube structural grid, FRAMES unfolds in a series of three-dimensional cages that, each time, are given specific functions, through different types of levels, storages, and accessories.

The choice is to display the features of the structure through ways of assembly, size, and storage design. The different elements keep their own characteristics but, at the same time, give life to an original form of exchange. This solution enhances both the formal solidity and lightness of the system, as in the rationalist architecture of Asnago and Vender, some intuitions of which are indirectly evoked here.

The manner of construction, the versatility of the connections, and the simplicity of the plugs allow FRAMES to develop across a wealth of types and dimensions in true compositional freedom.
