Ancient Greece, the cradle of our culture, an extraordinary example of civilization and a magnificent generator of unmistakable signs. Glorious temples rise from the barren earth that stand out against the sky and their columns stretched upwards praise the gods. Olympia was born from here, inspired by the stems of Greek colonists, the absolute symbol of a great era. Olympia is a system of doors and paneling, in which the vertical and slender groove that characterizes it is the unmistakable reference to an ancient world that forged our artistic expression. In Olympia this language relives and is reinterpreted: the groove is transformed into a camber that defines a vibrant and rhythmic surface, with a refined personality. This repeating element creates a linear, open or closed pattern. A sign that meets technology, capable of skillfully modeling the surface and enhancing it with super matte and silky lacquered finishes and with a thin wood or leather coating that knows how to enhance the detail. Olympia’s color palette evokes the world of ancient Greek art.
Designer Monica Armani
Monica Armani: for more than 25 years, Monica and Luca have been a team in life and in work. Her early start as an architect taught Monica a distinctly disciplined approach to her brand of design; one that continues to influence every project from permanent and temporary structures to office to interiors to lighting, seating and outdoor.
Perhaps most importantly, Monica's own particular design DNA is deeply rooted in family. In the begining was her father's architectural influence, which to this day can be seen throughout their hometown of Trento, Italy.
But what brought Monica's vision to life, and what continues to make her designs possible, is husband Luca. Their first and now iconic Progetto1 table remains a testament to the magic and logic of their partnership. And it is partnership that has inspired the creativity and innovation of Monica Armani design.
Head, hands and heart; a powerful combination.
