![]() There is the idea of producing the Binary table, but in a slightly larger bar version - 70 x 70 cm. Will other projects come out of this encounter with Valsecchi? ![]() Their production experience was very important to the process. The table was produced exactly as I designed it, with small structural changes that grew out of our collaboration. The company works with craftsmen and machines and everyone is passionate about what they do. The prototypes were made available at a speed that I have never seen before - the day after I gave them a simple working sketch. With this structure it's possible to produce a table that can be as long as you want it - infinite - by just adding the legs where needed. It is an element whose meaning can already be understood looking at the section it is designed so that all elements - equal to one another - are complementary. I took this concept a bit to the extreme by interpreting it through my way of making interlocking objects, making it the project's cornerstone. The most interesting element of this project is the central beam. The roots of this table can be found in the Frate table by Enzo Mari for Driade which was a commercial success for thirty years. ![]() What are the structural characteristics of the Traverso table? I had just finished working on the project for a table with those characteristics it was a commission for another Italian company that didn't lead to anything, but they liked it immediately. They asked me to think of an object that would be consistent with their research for the Valsecchi1918 line. They were impressed by my work in joinery both in tables that can be dismantled, and in the chair produced by Danese last year. As a commercial choice, they work on large-scale production of simple but carefully-crafted objects. I was very impressed by the approach that the Valsecchi family takes and their ability to see the product within the entire production process. I wasn't familiar with Valsecchi's history and I didn't know that their production was a complete supply chain in which all the woodworking phases are controlled internally, from the cultivation of trees in a Romanian forest to the lacquer. Loredana Mascheroni: What were the premises for beginning your collaboration with Valsecchi1918?įrancesco Faccin: Nicola De Ponti, who was interested in my research on carpentry joints, called me. It is also an encounter with the mechanisms of large-scale production, as he tells us. Traverso is another step in the designer's research. FRANCESCO TRAVERSO SERIESMaking objects whose every part must be essential for their support, but also intensely decorative, structurally and formally load-bearing, is an idea that Faccin has worked on since his first self-producible small series projects, coupled with his passion for wood and craftsmanship. Its predecessors are tables like Centrino and Binario. And in the evening, a dip in the pool sounds simply great.The table designed for Valsecchi1918, whose art director this year is Nicola De Ponti, is part of a line that Francesco Faccin has been pursuing for some time. It is a really nice setting, with lots of green areas, always set up very well, and a beautiful barn under which you can set big tables as in this case. The location for the party was Villa Traverso Pedrina in Barbarano Vicentino, along the coast in the south of Vicenza. And feel again the incredible emotions of that day. I set myself this goal everytime I start working: this is about being able to capture all the moments of the day with my photos, so in the future the spouses can see each other as they really were.
