Less is … Bold!

CUFMilano, the design brand of Centrufficio, presents Bold, the collection developed in collaboration with the designer Matteo Silverio that breaks the schemes of classic executive offices.

Designed with the aim of deconstructing and recomposing the classic desk, it stems from the desire to create a product which, in addition to fulfilling its primary functionality (being a desk), has a strong formal and sculptural identity.

Bold, design by Matteo Silverio, is the classic deconstructed and recomposed desk.

An apparently simple object, made up of a few elements but which actually contains a high level of complexity because the few pieces have been designed in such a way as to make the entire structure solid and also easy to assemble.

The suspended top, with the milled edge to emphasize its lightness, recall the wing of a seagull but also the blade of an oar. Both, as well as being a legacy of the designer’s Venetian origins, are technological jewels because they are light and resistant at the same time.

Bold is lightness and strength.

A synthesis obtained thanks to the excellent teamwork between the CUF R&D team and the designer Matteo Silverio, taking full advantage of new technologies and using plywood as a material: resistant, easy to process, immediately recognisable.

Last but not least, it is made of wood, therefore natural and recyclable.

architect Matteo Silverio

Matteo Silverio is a Venetian architect and researcher, expert in computational design and digital fabrication. During his professional career he has collaborated with several international studios, playing the role of lead designer and project manager in the development of innovative projects, many of them winners of international competitions.

Since 2017 he has been leading a multidisciplinary team based in Murano (matteosilverio.com) with which he promotes and develops projects on different scales and sectors, using horizontal knowledge and contaminating “distant” fields: coding to optimise shapes or minimise waste, biology to paint pictures and produce energy, chemistry to transform waste into works of art in a circular economy perspective. Many of his projects have been published in magazines and books and exhibited in prestigious museums and institutions such as the Mint Gallery and the Saatchi Gallery (London), the Design Museum in Dubai and the Corning Museum of Glass (New York).

In addition to his professional practice, Matteo also teaches and researches in the field of computational design and digital fabrication, with a particular focus on issues related to environmental sustainability and the circular economy. He currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rovereto, the European Institute of Design (IED) in Venice and the IUAV University in Venice.
