Elisa Ossino gives life in the Amini showroom to the ‘Abstract Garden’, which from the chromatic and figural references seems to evoke a fantasy world, where carpets seem to take on organic shapes and three-dimensional volumes. The space is thus transformed into the imaginary environment of a walk in nature, where one seems to be able to recognise a stretch of water, sit on a meadow, observe a strange sunflower and stretch out one’s arm to pick a bunch of pink grapes. The freehand strokes used with the extroversion of someone drawing a flower and a butterfly, imagining they are in front of them on a sunny day, inspired this immersion in the infinite kaleidoscope of possibilities offered by Amini’s carpets.

The Zeusi and Pitagora collections echo the archetypes of Euclidean geometry, in a quest that uses glazed lava stone to identify large sizes and glazed handmade terracotta for smaller tiles. In Zeusi, a pattern of large elongated hexagons in glazed lava stone is declined into figurations of majestic size, characterized by a full-bodied color and velvety texture. During processing, the glaze was applied to the lava stone by hand with an airbrush, and drying takes place naturally for sustainability-conscious processing.

Lava stone tiles are also at the center of a project of site-specific realizations called Murales: large geometric compositions arise from the assemblage of tiles of different sizes and thicknesses, until they constitute figures that recall the mysterious elegance of ancient polymateric retables, revisited with informal and modernist strokes.

Helium is a modular lamp that acts as a sculpture of light, resembling a sequence of geometric shapes marked by a sinuous rhythm, suggesting the possibility of infinite expansion. With one, two or three modules, this lamp expresses itself in the warm reflections of the glass, which make it possible to imagine surprising compositions that fit with evocative presence even in spaces marked by significant heights. Helium is available in two finishes: in glass with a special handcrafting process, in which the still-warm material is worked with the dispersion of micro-dust of sand, to achieve effects of soft shades of great elegance; or in hand-blown triplex opaline etched glass, which softens the transparency, giving a velvety appearance to the surface. The lamp is available in table, pendant and floor versions; the last one, with a base also made of glass, is gently lit like the modules. The warm, diffused light is adjustable through the dimmer located on the cable or on the rosette.

— Atlas Concorde

2024

Elisa Ossino and Atlas Concorde share a strong passion for product research and materiality. Their collaboration stems precisely from the

study and experimentation on the material, from the formal attention that allows them to mark each production with an unmistakable trait. Elisa Ossino has designed for Atlas Concorde Boost Expression, a collection that emphasizes tonal variations and the material qualities of surfaces, giving each texture an appearance that refers to ever changing formal suggestions. The pattern of each piece thus becomes a narrative of light and touch, flowing over the relief texture, identifying geometric motifs, dynamic trends, chiaroscuro transitions, now subtle now more pronounced, modernist traits, Op Art references, with an extraordinary ability to transcend the decorative intention and render the material idea, invention, language.

— Boffi

2024

Elisa Ossino’s new design for Boffi is emblematically called XO, with reference to the iconic Xila kitchen designed by Luigi Massoni in 1972, which is revisited according to stylistic traits that identify a geometrizing sign capable of bringing together the volumetric presence of matter and shapes designed with extremely soft lines. The Breccia Imperiale stone top of great material presence is emphasized by the thickness and pronounced lowering of the washing area, which houses two basins and a colander. The full-height doors are set back from the top. Covered in clay, they are available in different colors. The snack top made of oil-treated solid wood is characterized by the circular shape sectioned on the countertop and the sculptural curved shape of the foot. The dynamism of XO is enhanced by the cutting boards, with their soft lines and marked volumes, and the geometric pattern of the colander provided as an accessory.

A new way of experiencing carpets, no longer exclusively as furnishing objects, but as the possibility of imagining within the domestic space an island, refined and comfortable, to be experienced with extreme freedom and imagination. Inspired by the myth of the archipelago near Aci Trezza, which is said to have originated when Polyphemus hurled a number of large stones into the water one after the other in order to prevent Ulysses from escaping, Elisa Ossino has designed the Ciclopi organic carpet collection for Amini. The collection consists of a series of larger carpets with rounded, soft shapes and a line of smaller carpets designed to become a support, thanks to their six centimetres thickness. By superimposing these mats on the larger rugs, one can create impromptu solutions that redesign according to the desire of the moment these elegant complements, ideal for the living area but also placeable elsewhere, ready to function as a seat, headrest, shelf to place books, newspapers, work tools or the necessities for a drink. Both rugs are produced with natural wools and dyes, using materials and techniques that express the attention to sustainability and the appreciation of a production conceived in an artisanal manner. The colour palette is imagined in muted tones. The smaller carpets are tone-on-tone with the larger ones, or melange, so that elegant colour harmonies can be realised and also allow for maximum ductility in terms of form. The design of a circle inscribed within the irregular figure of the carpet suggested the formal reference to the eye of the Cyclops, inspiring the name of the collection.

— De Padova

2023

Elisa Ossino designed for De Padova Honoré, a sofa characterized by organic forms that expresses sensitivity to a design with a natural and minimalist approach. The turned wooden foot gives a distinctive feature of attention to the recovery of craftsmanship. Honoré has an extremely original profile, obtained from the combination of curved lines of the seat and back, characterized by the circular graphic sign of the roller. It is available in two sizes. The coffee tables are designed with the intention of inspiring an idea of strong organicity, so much so that they are almost like animated characters in relation to each other, creating a strong tension in the environment in which they are placed. The organic form is interpreted with volumes and geometries that give the pieces a sculptural appearance. They are available in marble and polyester lacquer. A textured finish is also available that lends itself to outdoor use. All finishes are designed to be combined with each other.

— Wonderglass

2023

Elisa Ossino designs for WonderGlass Venetia, inspired by the glow of the lagoon, and the city from which it takes its name. The project makes it possible to create partitions through the use of Murano glass tesserae obtained by fusion, perforated and bound together by transparent threads. The wings can be modulated into different shapes, backgrounds and patterns, resulting in linear, curved and cylindrical walls of various sizes. The “Woven Glass” walls suspended in the beautiful hall of the Institute of the Blind, create a suspended and dreamlike path giving life to a fragile labyrinth to be crossed by immersing oneself in the glass that with light generates iridescent reflections and shadows along with the movement of the observer.

— Ambientec

2023

Elisa Ossino designed the Madco lamp for Ambientec, a lantern revisited in a contemporary and minimalist key, thanks to the use of essential geometric shapes that give life to a strongly iconic object. The idea is to be able to transport this lantern with great ease, adapting it for use both in domestic interiors and outdoors. Rechargeable via USB port, the lamp does not require the presence of cables during use. The light can be oriented by rotating the sphere, giving rise to different orientations and configurations of light. The technological part and the transformer are housed in the covering half sphere, made of recycled plastic. The five color variants give Madco a lively pop of color, without distorting its simple lines.

Forme is a stool that takes its starting point from the idea of taking up the triangular outline of the plant in its corners along its entire length. It stems from Elisa Ossino’s research, which combines an interest in geometric figures, seen as natural archetypes, and the strong intent to create objects that recall in the definition of the lines and in the use of materials the profound spiritual matrix of the tension towards formal synthesis.

Line is a modular system of modular bookcases that introduces a new compositional rhythm into both office and home spaces. This linear, versatile architecture combines metal, wood and fabric to create various configurations, mixing form and function. The distinct graphic presence of the thermoformed textile panels lends an original look and a warm touch.

— Cimento

2023

Elisa Ossino has designed a line of tiles with a strong volumetric sign for Cimento, imagining geometric figures that seem to take substance in the three-dimensionality of a relief, generating elegant chiaroscuro passages to produce a lively movement of shadows on the wall. Cimento’s research on the themes of sustainability and the circular economy inspired Elisa’s Ducale furniture collection, which consists of an armchair, a small table in round or rectangular versions, a console table and a bookcase. Each of these objects was conceived from the idea of emphasising the contrast between sandblasted and polished concrete, so as to enhance the tactile and material quality of the former, with its rough and irregular finish. The furnishings recall the decomposition of solid geometric figures, and have been designed by Elisa to be assembled and recombined into shapes that seem to allude to the fascinating plastic presence of Brutalist aesthetics, to which the choice of a range of colours also seems to allude, giving space to neutral earth tones, of rigorous formal sobriety.

The Mate collection stands out for its silk-screen printed geometric pattern on the doors, the hallmark of a project characterised by refined minimalism. Dedicated to a new way of experiencing work and home situations, these glass cabinets can be used to flexibly furnish a vast array of different spaces without foregoing elegance. The structure is made entirely of recyclable metal, a sign of awareness of environmental issues.

The Dieffebi collection has been extended to include the Club armchair and sofa: a proposal created to furnish waiting rooms and lounge areas. Elegance, comfort and versatility underlie their minimal shape that beautifully blends in with any architectural and interior décor context, encompassing classical settings and more modern interiors. Fabric, leather and faux leather coverings are available in a palette of colours, as is the distinctive frame made of painted tubular metal and leather.

The name that Elisa Ossino has chosen for this carpet refers to a metaphysical atmosphere of suspension, to a silent place like a submerged city that appears under the surface of the water.
In fact, the two-dimensional design evokes, through a combination of shapes and colors, an architecture that enhances the three-dimensional complexity of reality. Nostalghia was made using an ecological cotton of extraordinary material yield, but also of inimitable lightness, to contradict the impression of sight with the tactile experience. The chromatic variations, finely tuned around the shades of blue and brown, recall the enigmatic charm of geometric compositions.

Elisa Ossino has designed Utopia, with which she contributes to The Village, a collection in which artists, designers and creative people have been asked to design miniature housing systems, with the intention of expressing on the one hand the strong sense of re-appropriation of the founding values of our living together, and on the other hand to explore the extraordinary diversity of stylistic and constructive languages, an expression of sensitivity and extroversion towards multiculturalism. Elisa Ossino has decided to use forms and principles that refer to classicism and that, in the context of the creation of this new village that recasts our community, take on a metaphysical nuance, as in the imaginative projections of utopian designers. Strong figurative suggestions to the Aescherian scales and to the modeling of the Renaissance architectures mark these building modules, in which Elisa wanted to project the sense of Apollonian beauty that recurs in the living forms and figures that we imagine illuminated by a zenithal light, in a perfect Mediterranean midday. The different elements can be imagined as parts of an architecture, or disassembled, so as to create new forms and relationships thanks to their modular ductility. Designing thus becomes once again a strongly playful action, in which imagination operates with the freedom and informality of a construction game.

— Salvatori

The new family of taps Spaghetti designed for Salvatori recalls the wavy pattern created as a texture for walls and floors. The knob has been designed with a raised metal knurling which also associates a prehensile and plastic value to the refined chiaroscuro effect. The ring is very large, without a plate, and the handle is highly functional. The mouth design is extremely classic. The preciousness of this family of taps is played on the possibility of using the complete selection of Salvatori stones for the internal cylinder of the knob, choosing the one that best binds to the colors and materials of the wall, top, sink, tub and shower.

— Tubes

Elisa Ossino has designed for Tubes I Ching, a radiant towel warmer module, working on a radical formal simplification. She has thus traced a line, reducing overall dimensions and thicknesses to a minimum. The design of this object is revolutionized, resulting in a very strong and innovative sign, which fits on the wall through an asymmetrical connection, offering the possibility to fix two different towels at the same time.
I Ching has been conceived to be installed in multiples, which identify a sort of artwork. A graphic sign of great dynamism, which redesigns the space with unpredictable compositional solutions, enhanced by the application of elegant metal finishes.

The Erei sofa designed for De Padova is presented in a new variant that enriches the different configurations of the original concept: low, without feet, the cushions rest directly on a base covered in leather where it is possible to place small shelves in wood or marble, or place a Nota lamp. The materials identified for the padding are the result of research aimed at maximum comfort. From a design point of view, the elimination of the division of seats and backrests in different sectors remains as a distinctive feature. The signs are thus reduced to the essential. Among the applicable equipment, a leather headrest roller and a magazine bag, also practical for storing remote controls

Plateaux of Mirror is the new dining table by De Castelli, which marks the most advanced result of Elisa Ossino's research in the definition of simple and harmonious lines, to obtain objects of great sculptural presence that are characterized by the purity of forms. Plateaux of Mirror is in fact made with only three pieces, one centimeter high. The top and two half-cylinders combine in a profile marked by the iconic concavities of the supports, which charge the design of this table with a subtle metaphysical allusion. Plateaux of Mirror will be presented in delabrè iron, and is also proposed in other metal finishes.

— Trussardi Casa

Elisa Ossino has designed a series of objects for the new Luxury Living collection by Trussardi Casa that happily combine the research carried out on materials, in order to identify new combinations, capable of producing surprising formal results and furnishing elements of inimitable comfort. A distinctive and sartorial figure is shared by these creations with a strong personality and evocative quality, to the point that the naming was conceived by looking expressly at the film imagery, with allusion to the character of each object, to the ability to define the atmosphere of the space that it goes to live.
The Mekong armchair rests on legs that appear tapered from the front, but show their depth on the side, revealing an almost illusionistic design intention. The seat has been designed to be soft and welcoming, extremely comfortable. The external eco-leather covering has seams that recall those of a tailored garmentand for the internal one the possibility of using different fabrics has been studied, to dress this piece according to different styles and needs.

The Circle is a collection where Elisa's search for abstract spaces in living areas morphes into a suspended, out of the world dimension so that the space itself becomes a living sculpture. Clay and sand, hand crafted without molds with artisanal tecniques, express the intrinsecally emotional feel of the material, crafted into unique pieces, like prime numbers, outside the strict rules of industrial production. Objects become alive, and their natural, primitive shapes hint to worlds one can imagine just by glancing at them. The openings break up the smooth surfaces of the chair, table and screen underline the relationship between straight and curved lines, and evoke the archetipal categories of time, direction and light. They draw a circle of natural energy that transforms them into enigmatic and meditative objects.

Elisa Ossino and Amini's affinity, revealed last year in the via Borgogna's showroom, was strengthened this year with a new project. Elisa Ossino designed a new rug collection in hand-knotted wool and silk, juxtaposing geometric shapes and overlapping colors. Circles, squares and rectangles intersect in formal and chromatic elements, creating with surprising effects a braided design of lines and tones transitioning from soft to stark. The juxtaposing rhythm of round and sharp angles, of straight lines and curved lines, create new patterns and push the boundaries of Amini's experimental style.

“Tourner la carte” is an exceptionally innovative reinvention of the compact kitchen. Born from the collaboration between Simone Piva and Elisa Ossino, Tourner la Carte allows the user to move around or completely hide all kitchen elements, including the sink and the induction stovetop. This flexibility can transform the unit to fit different needs; the induction stovetop can even be removed and used elsewhere. Elisa Ossino’s architectural sensibility gives Tourner la Carte a sculptoral contemporary design, while Simone Piva’s expertise in appliances and kitchen design assures maximum functionality.

Balnea is a new bathroom line which is the result of Elisa Ossino's very personal interpretation of Carrara’s white marble. The unique sculptural quality of this beautiful natural stone inspires an esthetically coherent design echoing classical shapes and proportions. The precious quality of Salvatori’s marble is magnified by its plastic mass and lightened by carefully calibrated empty spaces. The design of shelves and clothes hangers is modernist in style, as are the geometric mirrors and the shower structures. All structures are inspired by classical columns, rendered almost weightless by the material’s lightness. The pleated curtains add a dramatic effect.

Elisa Ossino designs for Salvatori Proiezioni, a collection of tables and low tables that arises from a reflection on the effect of light on marble, producing an inlaid design that seems to support the naturalness with which the shadows are projected onto the floors. Geometric figures identified by simple lines are thus followed by others which, due to the chromatic scale, appear to be their reflection. The extremely important sculptural volumes, starting from the support, coexist with the projections on the planes, which have the allusive fascination of an invisible cinema. The harmonization of the chosen colors, used in the three different versions (respectively Cipollino green, Alpi green and Carrara white; white Carrara, Gris du marais and black Marquina; red Collemandina, travertine Bianco and rosa Portogallo) determine an association game between shapes that recall a three-dimensional presence and their illusory two-dimensional projection, giving back to marble its extraordinary chiaroscuro quality.

Erei is a modular sofa designed by Elisa Ossino for De Padova, it was named after the Sicilian mountain range Erei, modelled by limestone erosion. The project is characterized by a research on sculptural and extremely soft, essential volumes. Both materials and padding have been studied to guarantee the maximum comfort and softness in relation to the sculptural aspect which is obtained by eliminating the traditional distribution of seatback and seats. The rarefied and buttonless capitonné helps to accentuate the marked sculptural  presence of the volumes. The two unique cushions recall the pure geometric figures of the square and circle and are visually translated into abstract forms.

In the name of formal research that characterizes her works, Elisa Ossino designed for De Padova a lamp, Elementi, that plays with the extremely light graphic sign of the black rod and a sequence of spheres of variable dimensions, producing a system of luminescent globes. These are particularly suitable for creating various configurations ranging from simple to complex luminous systems: the arrangements vary according to the choice of mixing different solutions where the spheres may increase or decrease, or are ordered in a more free composition, allowing the viewer to imagine always different alignments, shapes and combinations.

“With ‘Check’ collection, Elisa Ossino focuses on the design of surfaces, textures and color combinations. On the sideboard, table and stool, a pattern with squares and rectangles with a very thin line (1 mm thick) is repeated and printed leaving a glimpse underneath of the wooden grain. The structure of the furniture, made with curved tubular iron inspired by the Bauhaus movement, is enlivened by a liquid rubber varnish. The black sides that surround the furniture accentuate the graphic side of the project, bringing them back to a two-dimensional drawing. The color palette is bold, with an alternation of warm and cold tones: the brick red color of the patterns contrasts the grey tones of the wood and is matched with powder pink, light blue, blue and green details.”

— Sanwa

Elisa Ossino has designed “EO01” for Sanwa, giving life to a cooking unit suitable for lofts, co-working spaces, studies, small interiors and informal situations. EO01 responds to the needs of finding a solution for small-sized spaces, materializing one of the linchpins of the Japanese traditional way of living: the invisibility of some functional elements. Elisa Ossino has thus designed a small unit where the kitchen is in fact hidden behind a separating surface, projecting the user on the set of an Ozu’s film, where objects in a domestic scenery are kept hidden behind fusuma and shoji, the moving panels that continuously define the rooms structure. The cooking unit can easily be located in different areas of the house. EO01 includes a dual induction hob, a sink, work surface areas and a set of elegantly shaped accessories, inspired by a minimal and simple design, including a chopping board, wooden boxes, shelves, compartments for the storage of knives and sponges, together with a few magnetic areas defined by lines. Minimalism, modernism, a great attention to materials selection: the EO01 project puts the linchpins of design research at the heart, reinterpreting them with a radically new sensibility for the relationship between form and function.

Nota is a an informal and versatile lighting system that marks out the space with its geometrical lines. The deep reflection of the insert of figures and pure volumes on a line led to this lamp, which observes archetypes and formal icons and instills a sense of extreme lightness.  The sections are reduced to a minimum to obtain a two-dimensional visual effect: the shaft is an essential graphic sign, almost weightless, on which two flat figures are inserted and  become tables; the hat of the lamp, inscribed in an exact square, is in aluminum, painted with a technique that allows to obtain a soft satin texture and results very pleasant to the touch.

A series of table accessories that reinterpret the classical themes of the mise en place and figurative suggestions inspired by still-life paintings with a modernist and Bauhaus approach. Each object is shaped out of ideal geometrical forms and the light sign left by its shape generates a dematerialization of weights, giving to this family of accessories a sense of lunar levity.
The intention is to renew menages, accessories and dishes, giving a strong aesthetic coherence to the objects that appear on consoles and tables. This is the case for the cover, for the cakestand and for the tray, which finely combine the Rosa Portugal and the Grigio Versilia marble, veined by elegant mottling, with copper and blown glass. The bowls, with a design of great simplicity, are obtained through a largely handcrafted work. Both salt cellar and pepper box combine a concave part in marble and a blown glass container, while the teaspoons are slender like stems, a thread and a circle, to express the most minimal part of Elisa's formal research.

For this collection, called Landscapes, she has identified a selection of architectural and naturalistic views, choosing images evocative of the scenic quality of our territory, with the idea of giving life to a sequence of twenty dishes, one for each region. The collection includes an alternation between panoramic views, abstract black and white graphic motifs, whose features are derived from 18th-century engravings and monochromatic backgrounds.
Landscapes thus combines contemporary patterns, colors and design with a strong personal figure, renewing the highest tradition of our manufactures.

Elisa Ossino designs for Texturae a system of modular wallpapers, designed to allow the elements to be alternated its arrangement by combining the basic modules with the available variants, so as to create different walls each time.
The project inspired to the trompe l'oil technique plays on the illusionistic construction of a backdrop based on structural architectural elements with a curved (C) or squared (Q) shape, which lets the observer imagine a continuation of the space beyond the wall. The references to a metaphysical painting are emphasized by the predisposition of a color palette designed to accentuate the chromatic contrast or, alternatively, to orient it towards monochromy. The reinterpretation of a structural and functional architectural element produces a vibrant pictorial result of great compositional creativity, obtained through the insertion in the different panels of lights, shadows, walls, windows, which allows to imagine a personal scenery flat that can be varied everytime.
