Intro
SITUÉR MILANO – DESIGN COMPETITION
Situér Milano invites architects and designers to shape the next chapter of its distinctive identity through the creation of a coordinated furniture collection. The challenge is to conceive three interconnected elements – one main piece and two complementary objects – capable of expressing a coherent and recognisable language.
The primary element may take the form of a shelving system, console or seating piece, acting as the structural core of the collection, while the secondary elements – such as a coat rack, umbrella holder, mirror, lamp or tray – should reinforce the same formal and material principles.
Conceived for domestic interiors, retail environments or both, the mini collection must balance versatility with clarity of concept. Rooted in Situér Milano’s expertise in sheet metal, brass and stainless steel, proposals should combine structural precision with refined detailing. As the winning collection will be prototyped and produced, particular attention to feasibility, construction logic and ease of assembly will be essential.
More than designing a single object, the goal lies in shaping a small but complete system – a family of elements that, through proportion, material and detail, can define space with coherence and character.
