Raffaella Mangiarotti
The Palù collection, designed for Pianca by Raffaella Mangiarotti, features an appealing, versatile design, defined by a series of round vertical wooden rods with the rhythmic patterns of a canebrake. Soft, rounded forms interact with harmonious proportions, creating a light, delicate style with precisely detailed function.
The new additions to the Palù collection are an occasional chair and writing desk, presented at the last Salone del Mobile in Milan, which join the catalogue models, a bedside table and bench.
