Soul Sanctuary: 35 New Home Products From The Diesel Creative Team For Moroso and Foscarini

Fashion brand Diesel's Creative Team, headed by Creative Director Wilbert Das, has collaborated with lighting brand Foscarini and furniture brand Moroso to create the Diesel Home Collection of furniture and lighting, called Successful Living. The two collections designed for Moroso are called the ROCK and CAMP collections. The lighting collections for Foscarini include the Glas collection, The Graf, Fork and Cage collections.

In addition to these furnishings, they introduced four new textiles as well. These products were introduced at the Salone del Mobile and at Euroluce this year, 2009. Below are images of all the products.

THE ROCK COLLECTION FOR MOROSO:

The Rock collection is in a different mood, one where the Diesel inspiration is linked to the world of music, concerts and the visual idiom. The rectangular occasional table Xraydio 2 Disc is therefore made by printing the X-ray of a dj console on glass and using the colours of the night with shades from electric blue to black. By retaining the transparency of the glass the effect is truly strong, evocative and highly iconographic.

The same process was applied to production of the small Xraydio 1 Razza table, although here the chosen image is that of a ray fish swimming against a blue background.

Finally the 3-panel screen Xraydio 3 Natura Morta has a printed photographic image which plays with the archetype of a seventeenth-century still life.

THE GRAF COLLECTION FOR FOSCARINI:

Playing with the language of pop, the lamps in the Graf collection feature graphic prints on subjects that refer directly to the Diesel Home Collection: and on nature experienced with a personal style and a DJ's consol, which recalls the nightlife of rock and pop culture.

The images are printed on the diffuser in black and white and favour dark tones. The fabric is an extremely opaque weave that gives the lamp the fun impression of "fresh paint"". The graphic print adapts to the different scales of the lamp, without losing its original proportions.

THE CAMP COLLECTION FOR MOROSO:

The Camp collection also includes a series of other products in hand-painted wood: the Overdyed Lounge Chair, Overdyed Side Chair and two small tables, the rectangular Overdyed Table and round Overdyed Side Table.

The paint detail (shown above) in these products is particularly important as the technique used (ragging) means that the natural streaks of the wood are revealed and which, colored and then wiped away, create a special vintage effect. The support structures are instead in black-painted steel.

The very first piece from the collaboration between the Diesel Creative Team and Moroso was this sofa - the Nebula Nine Sofa - which is soft like a large cloud, has generous shapes and where you can sit or lie on large, soft cushions with stonewashed linen covers which define the sofa, making it the ideal space for relaxing and socialising. The frame is in wood throughout, very strong and compact. They since created the accompanying Cumulus Chair as well.
