TESSUTO by Cordivari Design
Design Marco Pisati
TESSUTO is the new modern and refined radiator inspired by the beauty of classical art and shaped by the most rigorous lines of contemporary design.
The concept of TESSUTO, conceived and designed by Marco Pisati, is based on the idea of being able to have through an industrial process serial copy of the product, each slightly different from the original, to have always unique pieces. The idea starts from a reflection on some works by Andy Warhol, where serial repetitions of the matrix image intentionally present small defects that make them not mere photocopies but different and therefore unique copies.
The solution to this idea is linked to the design of the element which, repeatedly assembled, forms the radiator. The design is deliberately asymmetrical, made up of grooves and flat parts. The element thus drawn, rotated by 180°, presents a different design as it is specular. During assembly in the factory, the elements, rotated or not, will be deliberately assembled randomly, resulting in infinite rhythms and designs.
Each produced TESSUTO is therefore unique, the image is always like the original, but the rhythm is always different.
TESSUTO, from an aesthetic point of view, was born from a reflection on the textures of the fabrics and from the desire to reproduce the wrap on the surface of a vertical radiator.
The project was born almost simultaneously with an interesting system of minimalist accessories; shelves and towel bars that become one with the product itself. The sign that characterizes them is the extreme lightness linked to the use of very small sections.
TESSUTO is a radiator in extruded aluminum with elements combined to create a continuous plate, with excellent thermal performance; each single element measures 15 cm in width and variable height; the assembly of the elements determines multiple possibilities of width, which guarantees architects great liberty in planning.
The TESSUTO radiator is available in all 80 colour variations in the Cordivari Design colour chart.
