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.
