Designer's statement

The inspiration for the stand, came from observing the harp as a sensual and magical musical instrument, so large harps in Corian ranging from 6 to 10 metres long, and 3 metres high, were designed to accommodate items of the Runtal collections on rotating black panels.

The composition of harps has been made simpler thanks to the use of light ashlars with sophisticated concealed steel closures. The complete modular stand was projected to be easily moved around on European tours at the main exhibition fairs.

The stand houses three large display elements (harps), a transparent meeting point, three storage cabinets, a reception, and brochure cases, all following the same soft line in Corian -- designed to blend.

All the furniture, tables, chairs and stools are part of the Ring Collection designed by Zema for the Giovannetti Collezioni d’Arredamento firm.

The illumination system is suspended and made up of 14 large aluminium structured cylinders, 2 metres wide and covered in Barrisol, that contain RGB chromatic variation fluorescent lamps, designed again by Zema and made in collaboration with the Zumtobel.
