| DESIGN NAME: Chiglia PRIMARY FUNCTION: Table INSPIRATION: The inspiration of the project comes from the skeleton of boats, the keel, from which the name. The result is a tribute to the traditional activities neglected in the past for an industrial reality forced by the italian national economy. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Chiglia is a tribute to the marine activity of Taranto, the town in which Giuliano Ricciardi was born and lives. 9 vertebrae sustain the glass top and join the central beam through a swallow tailed structure. The central beam is set upon stands that recall those used to restore boats in the shipyards. This solution allows to customize the table by changing the length of the beam and the number of vertebrae. The project is based on the use of appropriate embeddings without the use of metal pins. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Simple, linear, light but at the same time solid; Keel isn't just a table, but a memory, a wreck under the surface of the water, an emotional sculpture. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in May 2012 in Taranto, Italy. The fullscale prototype was made in Taranto and completed in June 2012 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |

The table top is in tempered glass SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: size: 2250 x 1000 x 740 TAGS: table, keel, interiordesign, vertebrae, bone, boat, sea, wood, furniture, home RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research is based on the rediscovery of traditional crafts, such as the shipwright or the sailor, and on the impact that the industry has had on my native land. CHALLENGE: The challenge was to find useful forms to be able to adapt the length of the table by simply replacing the central element, increasing the number of vertebrae.
