Web Site

Year 2021, the new graphic design of the “Museo Della Sedia” website, in this updated version 2021, aims to allow access to an increasingly large audience through this global means of communication. By simplifying navigation with new search parameters and a renewed design, we think we have provided an additional service to our site visitors. The difficult, but fundamental work of cataloging and archiving the products presented in Collections now allows five ways of exploration:
for the latest sessions cataloged (News section);
by chronological order (Years section);
by type of session (Categories section);
by designer (Designer section);
for quick selection (Search section).
The new Gallery page is a constantly evolving window, designed to offer unexpected and unpredictable images. The Contacts page allows an active interaction between the Museum and the visitor interested in receiving information regarding the products viewed or in their possession. Another important interface with the visitor is the banner “Would you like to leave a comment?” placed at the end of each article, through which it is possible to send information, suggestions or corrections. We also have an English version of the site in anticipation.

Sitting in the Shadow

Year 2018 In collaboration with Flussocreativo Design Studio (Bs)
“Sitting in the Shadow” is an installation that allows the visitor to perceive the chair without the filter of everyday life. The presence of the object is manifested simply through the indelible projection of the shadow.
