The house is that space that responds to general functional parameters which then
becomes the place of the inhabitant: transforming it into an environment codified on
personal characteristics and removing it from the anonymity of a simple plan layout.
Tacchini explores and addresses this phase of the home’s evolution and confronts
the various environments with furnishing projects based on research, materials, and
technology, but also with an ethical dialogue between the past and present of the
design. In this experiential growth, Tacchini approaches the dining environment
today: starting immediately from the spirit of conviviality, a concept that animates
profoundly the whole project. Moreover, a common thread throughout the house
tells of a history of living that retains all Tacchini’s philosophy: recognizing objects
and designs, different in content and form, but involved in a sort of constant corre-
spondence. Therefore, the dining room is a natural development of the living area:
naturally for the flow of daily life and for forms and settings. In this way, the organic
shape of the Orpheus table immediately empathizes with the space and its visitors:
revealing the shape of the design in the eyes of the beholder, and the material of the
surfaces by their texture. Just like the consoles, also by Lorenzo Bini, which redesign
the corners of a room or the linearity of a wall, without a permanent solution of conti-
nuity; almost integrating themselves geometrically. Since Tacchini’s projects are not
intrusive, rather you recognize them by the breath with which they envelop the space
and by the story they bring with them, which speaks to the values of a project, but
also of the people who designed and built it. The theme of the chair thus becomes an
opportunity to tell and reinterpret the story, looking in the last decades of the twen-
tieth century for moments of instantaneous iconicity by Tobia Scarpa: as with the
Dialogo and Sempronia chairs, which teach us how the definition of “classic” goes
hand in hand with to a status of perennial “contemporary”.
Moreover, in a dialogue between present and past, a flair for form and technical
competence become the aesthetic canons in the current interpretation of the table
concept: the T-Table, again by Tobia Scarpa. This project is based on the essentiality
of the definition of the table itself, a top with four legs which is resolved precisely in
the spareness of the link between these components and in the discovery of being
able to disassemble it into all its elements, thus dematerializing the shape and giving
value once again to the idea.
