Fos­sili: dis­play cas­es

Fol­low­ing re­search into lens waste con­duct­ed at the Uni­ver­si­ty of Paler­mo, de­sign­ers Fed­er­i­ca Dit­ta and Cris­tiano Pesca turned their at­ten­tion to the var­i­ous po­ten­tial uses for this waste.

They looked at both re­ject­ed lens­es that failed to pass qual­i­ty test­ing and ex­cess ma­te­r­i­al left over af­ter shap­ing the lens­es.

Fos­sili: dis­play cas­es

Over the last year, Di­v­el Italia has tak­en on the green phi­los­o­phy to an in­cred­i­ble de­gree. With the help of smart, dy­nam­ic ex­perts, our stud­ies of lens re­cy­cling and reuse have led to ap­pli­ca­tions in pack­ag­ing, in­te­ri­or de­sign, and even ex­hi­bi­tion fur­nish­ings!

With­in Di­v­el’s MIDO 2020 stand, we will have two dis­play pedestals de­signed by Fed­er­i­ca Dit­ta and Cris­tiano Pesca.

The key fea­ture of these pedestals is that they, too, make use of re­claimed lens waste!

De­signed to sup­port dis­play cas­es in ex­hi­bi­tion spaces, our ECO-EXPO pedestal is made from a sheet of car­bon steel and an epoxy-resin pan­el with lens frag­ments.

The dis­play pedestal may be used on its own or arranged with oth­ers, back to back or at right an­gles, so as to play with emp­ty space and cre­ate con­trast be­tween trans­par­ent and opaque.

The epoxy-resin pan­els may be rec­tan­gu­lar, ribbed or un­du­lat­ed in re­la­tion to the pan­el used for the mold.

The epoxy pan­el may be dis­as­sem­bled for trans­port, and the steel sheets and epoxy pan­els may be stacked to min­i­mize space re­quire­ments.

When po­si­tioned near a light source, the pan­el with the re­claimed lens­es can cre­ate vi­su­al ef­fects on the floor.

The dis­play pedestals will be used to sup­port glass dis­play cas­es in or­der to pre­sent a num­ber of Di­v­el Green Line pro­jects at our MIDO 2020 stand.
