Craftsmen of recycling
Sawaya & Moroni
Sawaya & Moroni emerges on the international design scene in 1984 relatively quickly combining professional talent of architect and designer William Sawaya with entrepreneurship of Paolo Moroni. The company is now set as a manufacturer of high quality design furniture.Both partners are from areas unrelated to the furniture, so the lack of family’s tradition to be respected and passed, typical of this area, becomes a positive element, free from all conceptual and productive restrictions. Thanks to this freedom borns a collection of limited editions signed by the great protagonists of contemporary architecture, design and art, together with a multitude of furniture, silver and artifacts that have found place in private collections and design museums around the world..
Danese Milano
Since its foundation in the fifties Danese Milano has
been a company that gives value to space. The spirit
of the time and the centrality of the human being
are reflected in the importance that the company
assigns to the choice of authors it involves. The
quality of the materials it applies and the synthesis
of forms achieved so far transcend seasonality. The
story of Danese Milano is a narration of material
culture, suggested functions, discreet pedagogies
and practical beauty.
WASP
WASP - World's Advanced Saving Project is Italy's
pioneering 3D Company founded by Massimo
Moretti in 2012. Inspired by the Potter Wasp, which
builds its own nest with material recovered from the
surrounding environment, WASP was born with the
aim of developing large-scale 3D printers, to build
houses with natural materials available on the
territory. Its goal is to bring real benefits to people
through innovation and research. A wide range of
WASP 3D printers has been developed to answer
human needs: food, housing, health, energy, work,
art and culture
In 2015 WASP presented the Big Delta WASP 12
meters, the largest printer in the world, with the aim
of building houses with natural materials from the
surrounding area.
In 2018 WASP launched Crane WASP, an innovative
technology to print on-site eco-districts at low
environmental impact, and has built Gaia, the first
3D printed house with earth by Crane WASP.

“Tecla”, an impactful architectural design experiment conducted in 2021 by MCA and WASP made of clay sourced in situ, is the source of the inspiration for (and of the name of) the generous bucket seat presented by Sawaya & Moroni.
The structure’s single unitary shell, reminiscent of an upturned architectural cupola, houses the upholstered part of the seat and backrest, to which two further cushions are added by way of ensuring a correct ergonomic support. The 3D printing technology already tested for the inhabitable space is now used on the scale of the furnishings for the version of “Tecla” made of recycled plastic, while the wooden model that is made by assembling elements of solid wood employs stained ash sourced from controlled plantations, whose processing and finishing stages are based on strict respect for the environment.

A “Tecla”, sperimentazione progettuale architettonica condotta da MCA e WASP nel 2021 realizzata in terra recuperata in sito, si riconduce, prendendone il nome, l’ampia seduta a pozzetto presentata da Sawaya & Moroni.
Il guscio unitario della struttura d’insieme, memoria di una cupola architettonica rovesciata, accoglie la parte imbottita di schienale e seduta, cui si aggiungono due cuscini a garantire la corretta ergonomia di appoggio. La tecnologia di stampante in 3D già sperimentata per lo spazio abitabile è utilizzata alla scala dell’arredo per la versione di “Tecla” in plastica riciclata, mentre per il modello ligneo costruito per assemblaggio di porzioni in massello, è impiegato legno di frassino tinto proveniente da coltivazioni controllate le cui fasi di lavorazione e finitura sono improntate al totale rispetto ambientale.
Materiale modello in plastica riciclata plasmix (polimeri polifenilici eterogenei da riciclo di plastiche cosiddette “s[...]porche”)

The “Petronio” stool is inspired by the characteristic hexagonal geometry of two historic buildings in Bologna: the façade of the Basilica of San Petronio and the ancient walls of the medieval city. The circle of city walls was built by the “reuse” method, which consisted of reusing materials recovered from Roman buildings that had been destroyed.
Recycling, in fact, was one of the sources of inspiration that created the Petronio stool, which is pressed entirely in Plasmix, a compound obtained from recycling so-called “dirty” plastics that would otherwise go to landfill or be incinerated.
The stool is completely hollow, lightweight and easily transportable and, if required, has an optional wooden top that transforms it into a small table.
The stool can be used on both sides, as a straight seat or as a small saddle on which to sit straddled.
Available in anthracite grey, terracotta, and forest green.

Lo sgabello “Petronio” è ispirato alla geometria esagonale che caratterizza due opere storiche della città di Bologna: la facciata della Basilica di San Petronio e le antiche mura della Bologna medioevale.
La cinta muraria fu costruita attraverso il metodo del “reimpiego”, una pratica che prevedeva il riutilizzo di materiali recuperati da edifici romani andati distrutti.
Il riciclo è infatti motivo di ispirazione per la realizzazione dello sgabello Petronio; stampato interamente in Plasmix; un composto ottenuto dal riciclo delle plastiche cosiddette “sporche” che sarebbero destinate alla discarica o incenerite
La seduta è interamente cava, leggera e facilmente trasportabile, corredata da un piano in legno opzionale che la trasforma all’occorrenza in un piccolo tavolino.
Lo sgabello può essere utilizzato su entrambi i lati, come seduta dritta o come una piccola sella su cui stare a cavalcioni.
I colori disponibili sono: grigio antracite, terra[...]cotta e verde bosco.
Dimensioni:44x47xh44 cm
Materiale: struttura: plasmix (polimeri polifenilici eterogenei da riciclo di plastiche cosiddette “sporche”); piano opzionale in legno

Arcipelago is the bag born from the recovery of the fabrics used during the exhibition “Arcipelago Italia”, designed for the Italian pavilion at the 2018 Venice Architecture Biennale. From the revalorization of the fabrics that covered the eight books and their transformation into a new artifact, a process of functional recycling comes to life, leading to the creation of a unique and unrepeatable narrative object. The bag is totally Made in Italy and available in two versions, double shoulder strap and tote bag.

Arcipelago è la borsa nata dal recupero dei tessuti utilizzati durante la mostra “Arcipelago Italia”, progettata per il padiglione italiano alla Biennale di Architettura di Venezia 2018. Dalla rivalorizzazione dei tessuti che rivestivano gli otto libri e dalla loro trasformazione in un nuovo manufatto, attraverso un processo di riciclo funzionale, nasce un oggetto narrativo unico e irripetibileprende. La borsa è totalmente Made in Italy e disponibile in due versioni, doppia tracolla e tote bag.
