bruno fattorini and mdf italia

Bruno Fattorini is not only one of the leading designers at MDF Italia, but has served as president of the manufacturer since 1992. In addition to implementing a more dynamic and innovative business strategy, Fattorini is also clearly a disciple of the minimalist school of design. Above: the bare-bones Desk Extra features a perfectly flat top, made possible by a patented tensioning device. The tabletop comes in either tempered glass, high-pressure melamine laminate or ceramic panels, while the frame and legs are made from aluminum.

Fattorini’s aluminum bed follows the same minimalist aesthetic of the Desk Extra, with a purely rectangular anodized frame. Even the headboard option remains minimalist, with your choice of a 57cm or 78cm version; the shorter headboard is so short that it is nearly flush with the bed when a mattress is installed.

With the widespread adoption of LCD and Plasma TV screens, Italia’s Television Panel system is a sleek and stylish alternative to traditional TV stands. Two wall panels comprise the system, with optional shelves and open cabinets for storage. The best feature of the system: as long as your TV is 10cm in depth or less, it can be flush-mounted with the wall panels–visual integration at its best.

The ARJ series of chairs all feature a low seat back and a tastefully curved design over a steel frame cold-foamed with PU rubbers. These bubble-shaped chairs are available with a variety of options including casters, swiveling and open seat backs. Equipped with a fixed ottoman/pouf which matches the upward tilt of the seat rest, the ARJ becomes a lounge chair, perfect for relaxing days spent in front of the TV or fireplace.

There isn’t a whole lot to say about the JILL table; a low-slung wenge coffee table, perhaps the most interesting features are the curved chromium-plated steel legs. Taken as a whole, however, JILL is subtle and sophisticated–in other words, a classic example of Bruno Fattorini and MDF Italia’s minimalist appeal.
