30 years of lightness, challenge and wonder with MDF Italia | News | Architonic
Today, MDF Italia’s identity displays a clear focus on three key values: lightness, challenge and wonder. Lightness means concise and graceful forms that are reduced to their essence; challenge means constantly striving for progress and innovation; wonder means seeking out new shapes, materials and functions to create bold and surprising solutions. These three concepts help ensure consistency throughout a collection developed in collaboration with leading names such as Jean Marie Massaud, Piergiorgio Cazzaniga, Jean Nouvel and Xavier Lust.
One product that perfectly embodies the MDF Italia philosophy is the NVL Table created by Jean Nouvel Design. The pure geometric shapes, formal lightness and graphic lines of the mono-material table set it apart as a simple yet sculptural object with a bold character. Jean Marie Massaud’s Neil seating collection also epitomises the design approach that MDF Italia has adopted since its early years. Massaud says the chairs are based on the principle of ‘doing better with less’ and seek to balance comfort with structural reduction, lightness and elegance.
