Atelier Manferni laser cutting

Italian civil engineer and UCLA trained architect Elena Manferdini is the founder of multidisciplinary design studio Atelier Manferdini. The company explores the creative potential of laser-cutting in the fields of architecture, fashion, and product design.

Bloom is a set of laser-cut stainless steel trays that can be folded into bowls.

This laser-cut textile and fashion collection named 'Clad Cuts' is about “the sensitivity associated with revealing and concealing the body and engages the problem of creating openings on a complex surface.”

'Marletti' is an installation inspired by lace making and serves as a compelling backdrop to Manferdini’s black garments with patterned cut-outs.

The Fabric Tower is an amazing concept for a 150,000 sqft residential high-rise in China. The structure is “an articulate response to the site’s natural landscape and its minority cultures.”




Vertical garden is a gold-finished stainless steel, dynamic structure designed for a MAK Center competition.

 


Below is a model for the future Museo Calamante which includes a public library and open theater.
 


And the Ricammi table, laser-cut metal and available at the Arktura Shop for just $399 !! :)

These visual merchandising panels  has been designed for fashion label Valentino. The use of mirrored materials and laser-cut shapes create an ethereal display of shadows. The reflected light which compliment the white leather accessories and silver hardware. I think this is my favourite example, I love the light effects made by the laser-cut shapes. it's quite the same effect that you could have using photogram techniques (techniques i am exploring for my personal studio project).
