Bilico is a modular garden table that owes its name to the structure composed of modules which, ending in a single support stand, make the table visibly unstable. Thanks to its modularity, it is possible compose tables from the smallest circular shape one, with two opposite heads, to the ideal infinity using central modules. The table, made of Pietra di Trani (a typical stone marble from Trani area), is completed by the central tub, led light equipped, where the accessories (trays, flower stands, lamps, cutlery trays, cutting boards, etc.) are housed.
Giuliano Ricciardi approached design shortly after finishing high school practicing at a carpentry workshop of where he learned the basics and manual skills needed to wood work. This learning experience lasted 3 years, until he was noticed by the owner of an important Architect Studio in Taranto who offered Giuliano to join his team at KinoWorkshop,as a draftsman. these professional experiences inspired him to pursue Graduate Studies in Industrial Design. Oriented to the use of raw wood material, limiting the use of other materials as much as possible, he’s gradually extending the range of materials of interest to ceramics, metals and polymers, giving his concepts and products balance between technique and material.
d-Lab studio is a design studio based in Taranto (Italy), founded by Giuliano Ricciardi, senior designer. It was born as a container of ideas and professionalism, a place where designing means believing in one's own ideas, being open to confrontation, having an open mind, thinking outside the box, hazard going beyond everything that is approved. Only with this openness to the outside is it possible to create a system able to offer a complete range of services ranging from the concept to the creation of the product. Matter, technique and craftsmanship are the basis of the design by d-Lab studio, because the hand of man is an essential ingredient for a realization that makes the difference.
