D/Vision.2 Green Brown Deconstructed Trumeau in Solid Wood, Glass and Brass

About the Item

Indulge in the avant-garde design of Ferruccio Laviani with the D/Vision .2 cabinet—an extraordinary piece that redefines the classic trumeau of the 1950s through a process of artistic decomposition and separation. Laviani's visionary approach transforms the trumeau's outline into an unexpected and surprising object, all while preserving the essence of its original form. D/Vision .2 is a visual metamorphosis, akin to a Cubist painting, where the trumeau undergoes an explosion of creativity, dividing into distinct parts that immortalize its beauty. Each fragment becomes a standalone unit, creating a captivating perspective that unfolds like a narrative. The genius lies in the amalgamation of these parts, as the ensemble's power and beauty emerge, blurring the lines between individuality and a collective masterpiece. This remarkable cabinet boasts a striking interplay of design elements. Shiny brass feet elevate its presence, while the solid frisè walnut construction adds a touch of timeless elegance. Inside, discover a functional harmony with wooden and glass shelves, offering both utility and aesthetic allure. The D/Vision .2 transcends convention with its daring choice of color—an army green NCS 6010 G10Y that alternates with original crimped wood, creating a mesmerizing visual contrast. This bold palette not only adds depth to the design but also accentuates the unique character of the piece, transforming it into a breathtaking work of art. As you welcome the D/Vision .2 into your space, you invite not just a cabinet but a statement piece that defies boundaries. It erases the distinction between a singular creation and a collectible item, inviting you to immerse yourself in the intersection of artistry and functionality. Elevate your surroundings with this extraordinary fusion of tradition, innovation, and aesthetic brilliance.

Bourgie Lamp

Inspired by Ashford and Simpson’s 1977 disco hit “Bourgie, Bourgie,” the Bourgie lamp by Italian designer Ferruccio Laviani (b. 1960) is a cheeky take on modern consumerism in the Western world. Laviani explained that he wanted to juxtapose our desire for wealth and status against our ever-increasing reliance on Chinese manufacturers to produce our so-called luxury goods. This, of course, was an irony that he deftly reveals with the lamp’s excessively showy baroque style and mass-market plastic material.

Laviani designed the Bourgie in 2003 for the Milan-based furniture company, Kartell, where he’d been working for 12 years, first as an exhibition designer and later as a furniture designer and art director. Kartell designers work mostly in plastics and thermoplastics, and the Bourgie lamp was no exception. For his Bourgie, Laviani used either a transparent or batch-dyed polycarbonate, which is both easy to recycle and incredibly durable. The lamp is currently offered in nine colorways that range from a simple translucent to a carousel of gold, turquoise, fuschia and orange.

Laviani told the New York Times that Dolce & Gabbana was a client when he conceived of the Bourgie lamp. “They came from baroque roots; it’s a part of the DNA of their company,” he said of the Italian luxury fashion house. “I always say I would never use gold if I’d never worked with Dolce & Gabbana. When I worked with gold in the Bourgie lamp, I was no longer afraid to use gold. I learned how to use it. It’s okay.”

Each variation of the shade casts different playfully colored shadows, making the lamp a statement piece for a living room or office.

Born in 1960 in Cremona, Italy, Laviani studied at a number of prestigious schools, eventually earning a degree in architecture from the Polytechnic University of Milan in 1986. Since then, he has worked with a number of manufacturers and design companies as an architect and product and interior designer.

In 2013, Kartell invited 14 contemporary designers to reimagine the Bourgie lamp in their own style to celebrate the lamp’s 10-year anniversary. Philippe Starck, Christophe Pillet, Patricia Urquiola and Nendo were a few to take on the challenge, creating wild, whimsical and worshipful renditions of the classic.
