Graduated from Central Saint Martins, the Florentine designer Filippo Carandini has previously worked as art director for renowned furniture design companies. In 2011 Carandini starts his own studio in Milan, his furniture emphasizes bold color schemes, rich textures and subtle artistic references. Alongside his work as a designer, Carandini paints large panels whose main theme, in line with the style of his furniture, is always that of color.
A quadriptych of four cupboards in different heights, the Columnae pieces place the chromatic component front and center. Layers of acrylic colors have been applied by hand to the cupboard doors and then coated with a high-gloss finish to give a rich, pictorial quality to the furniture. Part of the New Pompeii furniture series, the pieces feature side panels and handle in metal and an internal structure in wood.
