In ancient times, they were known as mountains, and it was only after the eruption of Vesuvius on August 24, 79 AD, which destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum, that it was understood they were volcanoes. As the poet John Garland Pollard said, “A volcano is a mountain with a stomach ache.”

The central sofa VULCANO, with its gentle profile, invites us to choose the right posture, either reclining like on a chaise longue or sitting as on a regular sofa. A light emanates from its opening, reminding us of its function, but instead of instilling fear, it relaxes.

This capsule collection for Migliorino Design was created for the first edition of the “Baroque and Neobaroque” Festival, conceived and directed by Roberto Semprini. The festival showcases expressions of “Neobaroque” design, understood as a contemporary interpretation of the Baroque aesthetic that has also significantly marked the history of the Iblean region. Neobaroque has now become a stylistic hallmark of our time.

Fluxus is the title of an urban furniture collection designed by Roberto Semprini and produced by LAB 23 for the Anello delle Piazze in Rimini. Fluxus consists of objects with linear and essential shapes, favoring curves over edges and smooth arcs over right angles. The objects have a fluid form, as if drawn without lifting the pencil from the paper. They are as linear as the waves of the Adriatic Sea and as fluid as objects shaped by the waves.

The collection is completed with the Rimini bike rack, which interprets the city’s name in a Pop art style. The products are made of steel with a Corten or Ferro Micaceo finish. The seat and backrest of the bench are made of Greenwood.
