From the surprising organic shape of LAYOUT, the storage furniture system designed for Alias by Michele De Lucchi, comes a new project that provides a completely new use. The result is the creation of Layout secrétaire, a pure and elementary volume that holds a desk top and two supporting shelves secured directly on the doors. Through a simple movement, this abstract piece of furniture opens up like a flower and reveals the workstation within, becoming the basic architecture of the office within the space of the room.
Michele De Lucchi
He was born in Ferrara in 1951 and graduated in Architecture in Florence. Among the leading figures in important movements during the years of experimental and radical architecture, he was awarded the honour of “Ufficiale della Repubblica Italiana” by President Ciampi in 2000 for his achievements in the field of design and architecture. Several of his works have been exhibited since 2003 in the permanent collection of the Centre Georges Pompidou. In 2004 he began his collaboration with Alias, for which he designed the Layout storage furniture (2004), the Dehors outdoor collection (2008), the Norma office chair (2009), and the Trigono (2019) and Indoors (2022) upholstered furniture collections.
