The two elements of the table structure are slotted together one into anotherwithout using the help of glues;following our philosophy of using only natural products, the wood has been treated with beeswax only.

The inspiration for ORIGAMI came from the observation of a simple piece of paper which,being folded according to an antique Japanese technique, transforms into complex anddelicate figures of innate fascination and beauty: the origami.Both, paper with its light sense of touch and opacity and glass with its physical heaviness and transparency present contrary features but also have a strong attribute in common:the concept of lightness.The tables ORIGAMI were created as a result of this theory.

Apparello arises from the nostalgic memory of a childhoods toy.With a sheer swish it hypnotized the children who, once grown up, have lost this antique memory.We gave it a new life maintaining its lightness replacing the paper with thin sheets of carbon.A lamp which starts to spin slowly when being touched slightly by who wants to play with it;a continuous and light movement like a childs carefree state of mind.

Leaving the house in a hurry:on the dining table, the library in the hallway, the console in the living room, maybe in the kitchenWhere are the keys, the telephone, the sunglasses?The always same question before leaving the house became the inspiration forGOT EVERYTHING?

A shelf big enough to hold all the little objects one has in his pockets or inhands when coming home.It is our daily little helper reminding us if we took everything when leaving thehouse asking GOT EVERYTHING?

A flash drive does not want to work, it refuses to show all data inserted;Those who are not all too keen on computers and the attached technology dont go along with this anymore and break the flash drive squashing it.Amongst the many tiny pieces you can find its electronic heart, a pattern of thin silver stripeswhich we vulgarly call transistor.So much stuff fits into this alien brain yet being so small; incomprehensible for us.But one can try, we think, to reproduce this magic shape of lines and circles in order to obtaina modular library which can contain the impossible or nearly.

Transistor is the modular library with infinite possibilities. As in its principal electronic function,where it takes inspiration from, transistor gathers data and multiplies its contents magnifyingthem, thus the library is able to compose and multiply itself, without end.

The modular shelfsystem TRANSISTOR is produced and distributed by TONELLI DESIGN.

The idea for this mirror origins from the observation of architectonical landscape models used for representing three dimensions on paper. We borrowed these levels and gave life to a three dimensional mirror which is able to create a distorted reality.

Move, shift, swap, change, replace, color, tidy up, hide...Childrens desk in solid wood gifted with numerous boxes disposed all acrossthe table and closed by colored panels.

The idea behind is that the child can interact with the table.Simple drawers become secret hiding places for toys, paper, pens, pencils...The child associates certain objects with different colored covers,stimulating its visual memory and the copability to affiliate shapes with colors.The child can personalize its desk by choosing different colored panels.

The boxes are easy to remove and clean.
