IDEA “The Design Supermarket”

Idea – The Design Supermarket

“Idea – The Design Supermarket”

An ironic and amusing exhibition curated by the Danish designer Niklas Jacob, “IDEA – The Design Supermarket” as a tribute to large distribution chains: 18 designers from 6 different nations will exhibit flat-pack projects with a “Do it Youself” assembling, not however the usual objects found in large-scale retail outlets. So here is the assembling spare tyre, the hiding-lovers wardrobe, the pedestal for the egocentric ones, the bookcase for only a favourite book, a dining table for those always on a diet, the cradle that seems a boat, a portable shelter for dogs, the table with interchangeable legs, and many more.

The exhibition is made in collaboration with LifeComunica who did all the photos, Falegnameria Nazzareno Pagnanelli, who did all the prototypes and the company ICA who supplied the coatings that made this project eco-friendly, taking advantage of their BIO product, which is made with renewable materials, that helps to reduce carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, thanks to the photosynthesis of the substitutive substances of oil.

We will present HÄLLELUJA, a multifunctional piece of furniture with upholstered supports comfortable for various activities and positions, whether for prayer or for moments of intimacy.

18 designers have created witty and unconventional objects as a tribute to IKEA, all of them coated with ICA BIO coatings. The result is an exhibition that will be held at “FuoriSalone” during the Milan Design Week

There is a table for antisocial people called Chatt, a dining table for those on a diet called Diät, or Grandiös, a pedestal for the egocentric ones. Also, there is the hiding-lovers wardrobe, with a seat inside to sit comfortably, the bookcase for just one book and many other works worth to be seen. They were all created by 18 designers from 6 different countries, who were asked to realize flat-pack, self-assembly projects by the Danish designer Niklas Jacob, as a fun and ironic tribute to IKEA world. Who doesn’t know it?

They met Sandro Paniccia, ICA Chairman, Andrea Paniccia, General Manager, and Lorenzo Paniccia, R&D Technical Manager, and were able to get a close look at the new ICA product: Iridea BIO, the first highly eco-friendly, oil-free coating in the world. “Every company should ask itself what’s its impact on the planet – says Sandro Paniccia – Our BIO coating is the result of 3 years of research and it proves that going green in the chemistry industry is possible”.

The 18 objects created were coated with Iridea BIO coating and collected for an exhibition entitled “IDEA – The Design Supermarket“, during one of the leading international events for the furnishing world, the Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan. The exhibition will be held from 17 to 22 April at Superstudio Più, Via Tortona 27, Milan, and will be one of the events of the FuoriSalone, which attracts thousands of visitors every year. An original way to present the new ICA product and its green features.
