Nucleo is the brainchild of its chief designer, Piergiorgio Robino. He began working with open source software to create his design projects, eventually connecting to other designers who spoke his language. All of them work on unique projects, but collaborate when they need creative inspiration. The team has entered a number of award shows, exhibitions, and several members have traveled to educational institutions as guest lectures. The above pictured Resin Fossil Table is a new project from Nucleo. It features an internally glowing core that glows through the Tetris-like, blocky structure. Its random, rigid form speaks to the modern minimalism popular in contemporary design.
