With the Admira sideboard, Gallotti&Radice signs a piece of furniture that tells the story of the meeting between past and future, between aesthetic memory and experimental vision. A piece that recalls the style of the 1960s, but reinterprets its spirit with an ultra-contemporary language. Admira – from the Spanish word ‘admire’ – brings seemingly distant dimensions into dialogue: retro lines and modernist proportions evocative of the Space Age intertwine with sophisticated materials and innovative processes, giving rise to a synergy of opposites that resolves into a captivating balance. Important volumes, reflective materials, rounded perimeters, and contrasting plays of light and shadow frame a design that is clean yet rich in detail. Gallotti&Radice thus signs a piece that goes beyond function and becomes a statement of style.
Conceived from the creative vision of Silvia Gallotti, Admira is characterized by the innovative finish of its doors, which represents the key to the entire project: the application of aluminum, copper, and gold leaf on glass. An authentic reinterpretation of a traditional process in an innovative and unprecedented way. The application of leaves made from precious materials is a well-known and widespread technique on wood, which Gallotti&Radice has also transferred to crystal. The craftsman’s skill consists in giving the glass the appearance of metal, through the use of very thin, almost impalpable leaves, obtained from metal spheres subjected to very strong pressure. The aluminum (“Saturno Siderale”) leaf transforms the surface into an ever-changing painting, in which light refracts and reflects, generating suggestive intensity and brilliance. The copper leaves (“Rosso Marte”) express themselves through shades ranging from pinkish, reddish to brown. While gold shows itself with its eternal and classic charm, in plays of light and glimmer.
This precious guise accompanies a structure made of matt lacquered wood in the colors “Bianco Camargue,” “Sabbia del Nilo,” “Rosa Jaipur,” “Rosso Persia,” “Bordeaux Etruria,” “Verde Provenza,” “Blu Pacifico,” “Grigio Londra,” and “Nero Giza” – but it is also available in a total color version with the doors in the same color as the structure. Beyond aesthetics, Admira stands out for its wide modularity, which allows compositions with different dimensions to meet the needs of customization in contemporary interiors, from the single module to multiple systems, which can also be positioned in the center of the room, thanks to the doors that can be opened on the front or back, creating a dividing architecture with a decorative appeal. Thus, Admira brings a refined aesthetic, always projected towards the future, into everyday domestic life.
