DOCK
Dock is an item characterised by clean and essential lines, concealing a multi-functional propensity.
This coat hanger, also featuring a shelf for small objects and a magnetic board, is an ideal piece for the entrance hall of home or office, adapting well also to the kitchen for small jars, shopping lists and aprons, or otherwise to the bathroom.
Dock is a design by the young Italian trio Busetti, Garuti and Redaelli and consists of a 90 cm folded painted steel sheet that divides into two sections, one of which fitted with four hooks and the other offering a small object tray.
Depending on the choice from available colours, it could be a discreet presence or an item complementing one’s personality.
DESIGNERS
MANUELA BUSETTI, ANDREA GARUTI & MATTEO REDAELLI
Fellow students at Milan’s European Design Institute, Manuela Busetti and Andrea Garuti became acquainted in 2003 while studying industrial design.
They immediately started working together, taking part in competitions and designing for firms whose range went from taps to decorating and to ceramic sanitary ware.
They were awarded important prizes (from the young designers section of the “XX Compasso d’Oro” ADI prize, to the Playing Design competition of Lissone, sponsored by Milan’s “La Triennale”) and took part in various events and exhibitions.
In 2007, while Manuela and Andrea were working with a design studio in Milan, they met Matteo Redaelli, who also graduated from Milan’s European Design Institute. From this was born a new team.
A common denominator linking the three designers, is the interest they share in studying the re-designing and abstracting of technologies and materials from their context, for the creation of original and inventive objects.
In 2010, with an innovative coffee table, they went on to win the competition organised by Cristalplant e Zanotta.
