SIONA - winner of the Archiproducts Design Awards 2024
Visionnaire is delighted to announce that Siona bar unit, designed by Matteo Cibic for the latest Nomad collection, wins the prestigious Archiproducts Design Awards 2024 for concept and design. Launched for the first time in 2016, the annual awards bring together the leading players in the Design world to reflect upon today's creative scene.
Matteo Cibic, an Italian transmedia artist and designer, is recognized for his whimsical, anthropomorphic creations. Cibic’s work blurs the lines between art and design, resulting in a unique style. Whether creating an object with a precise function or a sculptural piece with a joyful form, his work always evokes a sense of whimsy. This is how the Siona bar unit was born, characterized by a sculptural base made of antique brass and rounded edges, emphasizing fluidity and innovation.
“Imagine a meticulously designed piece of furniture, drawing inspiration from the avant-garde aesthetic of 1970s Italian automotive design. This refined creation boasts bold, rounded edges, evoking the era’s emphasis on fluidity and innovation. Its square brass base not only provides visual contrast but also symbolizes a harmonious blend of strength and refinement, mirroring the engineering mastery found in iconic automobiles of the era.”
