+++ DESIGN
Bard, 2014
Giulio Iacchetti
Conceived as a tribute to the city of Milan, the ‘Bard’ by italian designer Giulio Iacchetti is a small, upholstered piece of furniture produced by Manie Design. The object’s dome shape and texture are based on enzo mari’s iconic concrete bollards, which were originally installed to stop people from driving onto the footpath – still prevalent throughout the streets today, their round form looks like a ‘panettone’, a traditional holiday cake. Designed for internoitaliano, the ‘Bard’ ironically applies the notion of comfort in an illusory way by transforming a notoriously hard and uncomfortable piece of streetscape furniture into a soft and inviting item. via designboom.com
