Reinventing a Vespa part I

Neokentin — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 00:09:36 +0000

When people hear the Italian word Vespa, it’s instantly associated with Piaggio scooters. The word actually means ‘wasp’ and was used by Enrico Piaggio for his scooters when they first appeared in 1942, because of their appearance and the buzzing noise that the two stroke engine created. Tougher emission laws and the push to “go green” have made it increasingly difficult for classic automotive owners to maintain their pride and joy on the roads of today. Instead of sending rusty Vespa’s to the trash pile, I have found a more creative solution: turn the iconic scooter into functional pieces of designer furniture!
The donor for my furniture project was a 1968 Vespa sprint that was beyond restoration, making it the perfect candidate. I feel that this was a more honourable fate than the scrap metal yard.
I have tried to retain the traditional characteristics of the classic icon by converting the back half into a functional work station, complete with adjustable lap top stand. My aim was to deliver the feeling of riding a Vespa without the helmet hair. Anyone want to take it for a spin?

The Eco-vintage-chairs

Neokentin — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 11:11:38 +0000

Silvia Zacchello’s work is based on the art of recycling and restoring furniture and vintage objects, particularly chairs.
After an initial repairing, the chairs are entirely painted, with motifs and themes inspired by Pop Art, comics and vintage graphics: the chairs become colorfully lively, chairs that recall interior design with a “Pop Art” feel, vintage design, furniture giving space to design with flair that is nostalgic but present.
All the objects are hand-painted with acrylics, which are then covered with a shiny clearparquet varnish, making such objects usable daily.
Silvia Zacchello currently lives and paints in the chaotic italian city of Mestre, in an apartment that she loves to continuously make more colorful.

Mobina multifunctional module

Neokentin — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 11:09:22 +0000

Mobina is a multifunctional module that reuses cardboard tubes (waste by a fabric store) as structure. The product can be used like a bookshelf, stool, side table, storage box, and wherever you need. Each module uses 11 cardboard tubes that fits in the side planes.

The assembly of the bookshelf is very simple, because Mobina is ergonomic and easily transported. A little connection piece (made with waste of MDF) gives the resistence.

Besides the multifunctional principle, this product uses only two materials, water-based paint, is formally minimalist and can be used by people of different ages.

My goal is to bring dead trees back to life. I find dead trees or blown over trees and I create functional art, such as furniture or things that you can use around your home.
