Workbench

design by Alberto Fabbian and Paola Amabilein collaboration with Antoniazzi & Piovesana and Ceramiche Vicentine

Materials: wicker and clay

Around the table we can discuss, confront each other, share thoughts and ideas: Workbench is a table where materials processing methods are the exchanged words.

Workbench is the result of a collaboration between two traditional artisan realities as wicker and clay. Through an experimental research approach, the project reinterprets feelings and technical possibilities of both materials combined together, in order to identify new languages and processes. The project has been developed working in close contact with local craftsmen related to wicker and clay. Wood flexibility and ceramic fragility, the weaving and the dough, the drying cycle and the baking process, all together on the same table, where materials and methods complement one another and the final result is a contamination between two different worlds.

Workbench Tray

design by Alberto Fabbian and Paola Amabile

Materials: porcelain, wicker and wood

Workbench Tray represents a new phase of Workbench, a deep research project that explores feelings and technical possibilities of wicker and clay combining them together, in order to identify new languages and processes. Entirely handmade with natural materials, Workbench Tray is the result of knowledges and intuitions reached inside different craftsmen workshops. The delicacy of porcelain joins the flexibilty of wicker thanks to a single wire that runs all along the tray, completing naturally its essential shape. A wood base sustains the object highlighting its lightness.

Work carried out thanks to Ceramiche Vicentine, District of Ceramics, Porcelain and Artistic Glass of Nove and Antoniazzi & Piovesana.

About

Alberto Fabbian (1981) and Paola Amabile (1985) are two Italian designers based in Northern Italy. They share their interest in creating projects as containers of knowledges through a continuous dialogue with different identities holding human, cultural and territorial values.

They identify their role as responsible explorers by investigating new connections among actors, processes and knowledges. Their purpose is to create positive impacts by transferring contents that can be shared in several forms, whether objects, situations or food for thought.

They recently worked in close contact with local craftsmen to create Workbench project, which represents the result of a collaboration between two traditional artisanal realities as wicker and clay. Through an experimental research approach, the project reinterprets feelings and technical possibilities of different materials combining them together, in order to identify new languages and processes.

Their projects have been selected during the Milan Design Week and the Dutch Design Week 2013 and featured in many international design publications.

Paola Amabile is passionate about sustainability, social innovation and experimentation, always searching for new ways to embrace human values in design processes. Paola holds a Bachelor degree in International Development (2007) and in Product Design (2011) from the University of Padua, Italy. She took part in different international development and microcredit projects closely connected with a sustainable management of natural resources through a partecipatory approach of local actors. She also works with photography and visual design to translate information complexity into easily accessible communication.

Alberto Fabbian approaches to design thanks to his interest in illustration and experimentation. After graduating in Industrial Design (2006) he starts his collaboration with JVLT studio, developing product and communication projects. As freelance designer he gives a special attention to human dimension by considering the project as a meeting point between different actors and by choosing a sensitive approach to sustainability and cultural identities. He developed his last projects with local craftsmen in a continuous dialogue between tradition and contemporary language.
