Italian furniture brand Desalto brings motion and matter into its 2017 collection

Desalto highlights its evolution through the states of matter—denoting a process of transformation and change where nothing is destroyed nor created. The solid state refers to the technical aspect of the company—concrete and functional applications that translate to the quality of its products. The liquid state is the photographic story of the product, which is constantly redesigned, yet remains faithful to the corporate DNA. Finally, the gaseous state calls on the identity, history, and people comprising the company—leading it to growth and dynamism.
