We have become amphibious animals, both digital and analog, and we need objects thatmirror this complex nature, which make us understand which functions are us and which ones represent us. Orografie are objects that break through a surface, like mountains emerging from the sea, born to permit us to inhabit space, but also to teach us a different way, a sensible new order. The designers of Orografie have observed the spontaneous use we sometimes make of furnishings, when we rediscover ourselves as builders of our own means. Thus things have been designed that accomplish functions that had not been there prior and that are now indispensable; forms not always attributed to already known categories, but which resemble us; daily friends who help us and, above all, make us feel good.

Agata

Antonio Aricò, 2022

St. Agatha's is the third largest folk festival in the world. The story is relived by evoking the most "ornamental and rich" icon of Design the Proust Armchair by Mendini. The mastery of Orografie is told in a new product designed and narrated by Aricò: AGATA. The project done by Mendini on Proust is reinterpreted by Aricò in a contemporary key with spray cans (for wood and fabric) in metallic colors. The armchair is designed starting from the symbols of the Reliquary Bust of St. Agatha made by Giovanni di Bartolo in

1376, rich in details. The technique used is wood carving performed with new technologies and the help of a master sculptor. The armchair composed of a wooden "ornamental skeleton" is made cozy by 4 "free" cushions. The "unfinished" theme in the feet of the armchair is an invitation to discover the handcrafted handiwork behind the design. A "naked" version serves as a canvas for the graphics painted directly by hand with "graffiti" spray technique by Aricò. The themes of the unique serial VS intertwine in a hybrid narrative made of new traditions.

Allodola

Francesco Faccin, 2021

Allodola is a contemporary object that could not have existed ten years ago. New home rituals are transforming our habits and the telephone almost always plays part in them: reading the news, making a call from the sofa, watching a recipe in the kitchen, watching a movie in bed, listening to music in the shower ... everything goes through our cell phones. The telephone concentrates functions and expands our

homes, transforming them and transporting them elsewhere, becoming an extension of our brain, a prosthesis, a contemporary fetish that has silently, profoundly changed our lives. Allodola is a tool that enters into a relationship with this object, composed of its virtual functions, trying to make it physical. It is a presence that through ancient materials gives life to a brain prepared with the most sophisticated technologies of our times.

Amoní

Linda Salvadori, 2021

Amonì was born by means of reflection upon the domestic environment and on the relationship we have with space and the objects that inhabit it. A house is a fluid space, its environments no longer respond to a single function and the boundaries are blurred; even the furnishings and objects follow these changes adapting to new needs. The valet stand I have designed fits into different rooms of the house,

offering multiple ways of use. It is made up of several vertical and horizontal elements for hanging clothes or accessories, with a small shelf and a larger surface to accommodate our belongings. This piece of furniture has always been intended for the bedroom, but in this project it frees itself from this constraint by moving freely, thus living the domestic space dynamically, as if it were an inhabitant of the house.

Efesto

Elena Salmistraro, 2021

Unchanged and immutable, open to accommodate multiple functions while remaining "intact" and proud. For this reason, the investigation focused more on symbols and story-telling than on rituals and function choosing to recollect Sicily and in particular Catania, the epicenter of this adventure. And how can one recount the city without considering Him, Etna: the largest, most active volcano in Europe, the volcano that stammers, smokes and sometimes gets irritated, the one where the forge of Hephaestus is housed in the myth. Hephaestus is the engineer, he is the craftsman, he is the designer; rough yet creative, excluded yet

generous. His is a love for the Work that stands in contrast to a deceptive and illusory world, made up of ephemeral pleasures and vices: Olympus. Hephaestus chooses his laboratory, his studio, his work. If Hephaestus today designed vases and end tables, he would certainly do it in his own rough, brutal way, celebrating the material, highlighting its volume, probably with the help of software and modern technologies, combining digital and analogue under a single enterprise; but always in an austere language, made up of machines and work, of strength and energy, using forms and structures with a brutish, constructivist taste.

Giano

Antonio Iraci, 2021

Like the two-faced Janus of mythology, this table accessory has two faces that reveal just as many possibilities of use. Like a sheet that takes its shape according to the hands that fold it, so Giano exploits small support elements that reveal possibilities of containment and support for food, suitable for our contemporary way of eating, increasingly open to culinary variations and the accompanying instruments of other cuisines, without overlooking our Mediterranean tradition.

M'ama

Barbi-Brunone, 2021

Like the two-faced Janus of mythology, this table accessory has two faces that reveal just as many possibilities of use. Like a sheet that takes its shape according to the hands that fold it, so Giano exploits small support elements that reveal possibilities of containment and support for food, suitable for our contemporary way of eating, increasingly open to culinary variations and the accompanying instruments of other cuisines, without overlooking our Mediterranean tradition.

Matto

Anna Polisano, 2021

An impactful object, designed to capture the fleeting attention of our current hybrid condition. Matto is a hypersymbolic object, like a pawn transforms the home environment into a game: a chessboard that becomes a witness to our new moves, our new rituals.

Minuti

Livia Stacchini, 2021

After four years in Holland, many personal relationships and different experiences, I began my return to Italy by making a selection of objects: I had to decide what to throw away and what to keep. In doing so, I realized that many of the objects I came across represented Memories to me and although they were, for the most part, without real value they were imbued with a strong emotional meaning. My project Minuti is, therefore, a container of Memories, a place to put all those small objects that lead us back

to countless past moments that should not be forgotten, worthy of being kept in a 'Wunderkammer', a personal room of wonders. Small or large trinkets, paperwork and knick-knacks, usually set aside at the bottom of the drawers until they have been forgotten, are placed in the center to allow the memories and emotions connected to them rise once more. Through the creation of a sculptural piece of furniture, I would like to make their presence echo out in domestic spaces and dedicate a new awareness within our lives and homes to them.

Pocopiano

Paolo Stefano Gentile, 2023

Pocopiano is a circular ceramic plate. The course of the shape creates a hollow generated by a progressive slope. This dualism is the specific character of the plate, which allows the support of different types of dishes in order to "create" games

of consistencies. Between solid and liquid, a new food ritual! The name Pocopiano emphasizes the hybrid and amphibious nature of the plate; Pocopiano is an invitation to tell a story, to live a journey, to try a new experience made of rituals, contrasts and senses.

Segni

Lanzavecchia+Wai, 2021

We lean, perch, sit, lie down and sink into our furniture with our digital extensions. Emancipated from the safe haven of working on a desk, we tirelessly try to find comfort in ever more fluid environments. In response to this new need, the media offers us hyper-functional products more similar to medical instruments than welcoming furniture or domestic accompaniments. With the 'Segni' project we started from scratch, tracing essential lines

and angles to support and accommodate the choreography taken by our bodies. Segni wants to be a hymn to individual comfort, freeing the user from predetermined spaces and postures, supporting new ergonomic needs for work, study, relaxation, physical activity and leisure. They are essential furniture, five features in the domestic space that suggest gestures and positions without imposing them, ready to welcome the future animal into which we will evolve.

T1-T2

Martinelli/Venezia, 2021

We have always been fascinated by wooden foundry molds: such sophisticated goods, rich in hollows, holes of various diameters, bevels, protuberances or other singular details have aroused our imagination by the countless shapes that can be created with them. We have individuated and arranged these pieces into a sort of catalog that we then redesigned and used as a declinable

language. This is how T1 and T2 were born, two enigmatic and sculptural furnishing elements that we could define as a standard of the domestic space and that we have designed with the intention of stimulating a desire for affection in those who possess an interest in such things: objects to be preserved and handed down from generation to generation.

Tavo

GiulianoFukuda, 2021

"The home is a garden to be lived in": this is our motto for interior space design. Thus a series of elements creates our domestic landscape; each one is thought of as if it were a garden plant. Ours are modules that can be freely combined thanks to their organic forms which generate an ever-new harmony and can be united by choosing the most appropriate scale for the uses and activities of the space that will host them. The inspiration for this

project not only came from observing leaves: their shapes, the way they sit on a plant, but also by how they appear to us when they have fallen to the ground, their essence of unity together with time itself. Thus the idea of a family of elements was born, each with its own individual value and its own formal identity, but with the tendency to aggregate in a varied and diverse manner generating a dynamic whole to which to give the desired function.

Trab

Standa, 2021

The "Trabattello" is a mobile scaffold usually used to facilitate construction work. The Trab takes its cue from this concept because it is a piece of furniture that performs multiple services. It was originally intended for the bathroom, because we now perform many functions in this room of the house. So the Trab supports you when you are drying your hair and you need a prop; it holds cell phones or books while showering or in the bathtub; it also functions as a hanger for the clothes

you will put on or those you take off. It assists everyone: children who need a step to get to the sink, seniors who want to feel safer while brushing their teeth. And it even loves taking a walk into other rooms: in the bedroom as a valet / bedside table; in the living room as a multi-use support next to the sofas; in the kitchen to hold books and cell phones while we prepare the recipe of the day. Small in size, large in functionality.

Tramè

Davide Frattini Frilli, 2021

Tramè is a support for mobile devices which is easy to handle and simple in shape, of solid wood construction and sheet metal reinforcement. Its peculiarity is to have a mirror surface embedded in the structure which makes it both a support for electronic devices and a hand mirror. The calibrated incline of the upper portion allows for the simultaneous view of the device in use and of one's own image, of one's eyes in particular. This is because, at

times the gaze of others effects us too much, at others however it is a gauge of the adequacy and correctness of our actions. Behind the screen we are instead alone and nothing more than our own gaze can keep the I’io (the human being) present to itself and consciously accompany it within the overflowing stream of data, information and images in which, ever-the-more, the real and the virtual, the true and the false smoothly go on merging together.

Triplex

Andrea Branciforti, 2021

... “The whole truth exists within ceramics”. The rooms where people live, where they eat, where wives survey and argue ... Look at the ceramics and everything is there, as in poems and songs. Everything is there, and that's it ... " The words of Ettore Sottsass written in 1963 lay at the foundation of my project. A centerpiece that hides its double versatility. Made of ceramic with a triple function: fruit holder, flower holder and mobile phone

holder. Today our Smartphone is the most important and sometimes the most desired object. It plays such vital role in our days, from which it is almost impossible to be separated. Against the rules of etiquette that banish it from the table, now it is instead exalted and placed at the base of the centerpiece. Starting today the Triplex Centerpiece will also have the function of containing our object of desire: with which we eat, fight, live ...

Trisola

Gaetano Di Gregorio, 2021

After decades in which the home has often been a place lived in out of bare necessity, sometimes almost only for sleeping, today the domestic space returns to the foreground in an attempt to find a new balance between the dimension of intimacy and the new social distancing, somewhere between a virtual and a tangible reality.The design of this garden table revolves around the idea of ​​a curtain that separates the exterior space from the more intimate one of the individual dimension. When the curtains are open, the table can accommodate four seated people or transform into

a small buffet gazebo; when the top is folded, it becomes a desk that can be partially or completely screened by its curtains, offering a neutral backdrop for video-calls, guaranteeing privacy and protection from sunlight. The curtain becomes an analog screen, onto which the aspect of those whom are involved are projected; and also a veil that protects, embodying the two sides of a technology that not only isolate, but at the same time open outwardly to an almost borderless dimension. The public and the private meet through a device that is as much a refuge as a window.

Voyeur

Luigi Patitucci, 2021

There are stories written entirely in body language. In order to be understood, they need effective environmental integration. Design should question the way in which the domestic space challenges the user, the manner by which it provokes or resists. Only in this way will we be able to have an amplification of the concept of the body being capable of producing greater consistency for the imagination. Thus Voyeur was born, the Shameless Wardrobe with the scope

of being able to produce, and therefore display, objects capable of generating an existential scenario that could become a seductive Resonant Landscape. Establishing an environment for the senses was my goal. Individuals who marvelously collide with the scene determined by the Voyeur wardrobe, an object with a strong personality, overbearing, unwieldy, subtly disturbing and pervasive, will receive an alienating and exalting investiture, in an atmosphere of unequivocal and rarefied osmosis between the Sacred and the Sensual.

Hub for experimentation and innovation aimed at young graduates. Emersivi is Orografie's ground where to sow, and harvest, the vision of designers entering the world of work. The culture of education as a business culture. Born already amphibious, the new generation of designers will be accompanied and involved in this platform through workshops, thesis labs and master's degrees.

The third edition of the Emersivi workshop returns to investigate the world of product design. Young people under 30, new graduates or students in their final stage of studies, have measured themselves with the thought of Orographies by declining, in the form of a project, the new brief that will orchestrate the next collection whose launch is expected during the Milan Design Week of 2024. In this edition, candidates were asked to maintain the hybrid thinking that generated the amphibious design of Orographies. The three selected young people fully enter the collection that Orographies will officially present at Milan Design Week 2024 and preview in 2023 with the presentation of the Pocopiano product.

In 2021 a new storytelling and illustration workshop on "amphibious" design, that which investigates contemporary functions and their multiple usability. During the workshop, input was requested for the development of new narratives and illustrations that mark the features of new futuristic scenarios in line with Orografie's thinking. New actions, behaviors and rituals that will advance into a new and final hybrid dimension. Through the days of work in Naples, two very young people were selected, an illustrator and a storyteller who, with their works, entered the larger narrative of Orografie's "new rituals of living"

For EDIT Naples 2020 edition, Orografie created a workshop, espousing the attention of the Design Fair for emerging designers. During five days of intense discussion, the young participants created a project taking into account the key-topics that guide the company: restarting from functions and not from forms to generate a different approach to needs; observing the misuse that users make of things in order to seize a need; taking care of objects as if they were living beings; identifying the new rituals of our time; and thinking of products as portraits of those who use them and those who design them. The result of the workshop are now products in the Orografie catalog, marking both the launch of the brand and the entry of these talents into the world of professional design.

Antonio Aricò eclectic designer. Inventor of symbols. Creator of worlds.

An author's production that feeds on dreamlike visions and on the contamination of symbols and languages, to become concrete in a range of products and projects where design, art and craftsmanship dialogue to touch the hearts and minds of people.

After years of experience in interior design and in particular retail, it was at the Fuorisalone in Milan and at the Stockholm Furniture Fair in 2017-2019 where he presented his first self-produced furnishing accessories. His approach combines his Milanese character and architectural training with a profound functional and typological reflection, applied to the designing of products with a serial vocation. His delicate but decisive touch plays with and combines lines and geometric shapes to create clean, essential and functional furnishings and accessories, which from their abstract composition become concrete objects. Using traditional materials (mainly woods and metals) and “simple” finishes, he completes his design ideas highlighting their form.
