This modular wall structure, designed by Vittorio Introini for Saporiti, was conceived as an open system that can be freely arranged to adapt to different spaces and needs. Made of metal, the composition stands out for the purity of its geometric lines and the contrast between its reflective surfaces and opaque volumes. The characteristic circular handles and exposed hinges reflect an industrial-inspired aesthetic that, far from concealing the furniture’s construction, makes it an essential part of its formal language.The design reflects the close collaboration between Introini and Saporiti, an Italian firm known for promoting experimental designs that combined technical innovation with aesthetic sophistication.
