(en) / The interplay between the natural and the artificial,
which engages each era relative to its own degree of progress,
involves design in ever new forms and demands. Design is
inherently rooted in the world and, as part of this relationship,
is enriched by considering the extent to which the natural
informs - and shapes - the artificial and vice versa. The response
is the measurement of machine skills, the simulation of scenarios
and processes, applications and the resulting aesthetics.
Embedding the entrepreneurial and artisan culture in a
different design culture, where the experimental and the refined
seek to achieve the new and the authentic. Carpanese responds
to the need for long-term choices and draws on its own founding
focus on wood. On its cultural, economic, environmental and,
therefore, social value.
Valuing innovation, both in general and specifically,
also means preserving and passing on the skills of artisans who,
if employed in new approaches to design, can evolve and create
a collective and not only corporate heritage for the future.
Hence, the timeless expressive power of the recent Carpanese
Home collections. Aiming to create an atmosphere of suspended
calm, enveloping volumes, fusion between the outside and
the inside, and amalgamation between different environments.
Places, both imaginary and physical, where you can blend in
with your visions, and grow.
The result of connections rooted in today’s world,
the transformation of material into a useful and attractive object,
as seen throughout the long history of design, is more than
ever a sum of values. Recognisable, shareable and tangible.
In the current direction of the Veronese brand,
the human touch takes centre stage, capable of blending
cabinetmakers’ experience with designers’ sensitivity, adopting
a slow pace consistent with the pursuit of quality and thoughtful
change. This can be found in the high-quality, precious materials,
in line with sustainable manufacturing processes. And it
evolves in shared intentions with partners and supply chains,
in zero-kilometre production and in the economy of resources.
It emerges in an appeal that transcends fashions and taps into
intergenerational tastes. And it stays. With the quality of a joint,
the meticulous design of a structural detail, material generosity,
and made-to-measure comfort. The poetry of the everyday.
Luxury, for Carpanese Home, indicates a path to the
essential, becoming understated and sophisticated. Bearing
choices and thought. It seems to remind us that, like nature,
“things” surround us and build our world. That world in which
we decide to mirror ourselves, reflecting on what could make
our lives better.
