Cross Unit

The prize giving ceremony of the prestigious Young e Design contest, dedicated to young and talented designers, was held on April 19 during Salone Internazionale del Mobile in Milan.

Three Gruppo Sintesi products were awarded with an ex aequo special mention:
the library Cross Unit by Philippe Nigro for Sintesi
the table Fade Out by Sam Sannia for Sintesi
the table Voilà by Claudio Meninno and Luigi Di Dato for Montina.

Campari Soda has chosen the chairs and tables Chameleon, designed by Markus Benesch and produced by Gruppo Sintesi for the project REDesign presented at Fuorisalone in Milan during the event That's Design.
The chairs, in the version designed for Campari Soda, are covered by a sheet of mirror that creates an evocative trompe l'oeil effect of "fusion" with the surrounding scenery.

The new Sintesi website is now online, featuring all the last products presented during Salone Internazionale del Mobile.
