News Laura Silvestrini talks about Trench collection
What is the intuition behind this product that displays a strong sartorial flavour?
The intuition lies exactly in what you see, and the name is a clear expression of that. The idea was to strap the back with a curved wooden “belt” and shape it. The fabric would thus take on an informal appearance, forming the typical folds of the well-known coat. The relation between the wooden elements and the backrest textile covering marks its design.
Design, curved wood and craftsmanship. How does Trench put them into relation?
A designer is required to create “beautiful” products that can meet with broad acceptance. The aesthetic aspect of an item, although decisive for the first approach, should be supported by its functionality, comfort and solidity. Sometimes all these aspects are successfully combined also thanks to the work of a technical team within the company that’s clever and empathetic to the designer’s poetics. This way, the combination between design and craftsmanship can reach important milestones, and this is the case with the Trench collection.
For which environments was the collection designed?
The Trench collection was created to meet the demands of the contract sector. Thanks to its solidity and versatility, it is suitable for all the environments where it will be frequently used, but it is also suitable for domestic environments thanks to its aesthetic value and special attention to detail.
