Ballerina is a multifunctional furniture, which has been specifically crafted for co-working spaces within Villa Arconati in Bollate, Italy. This design integrates two tables and a lamp, allowing for effortless disassembly by simply lifting and unfolding the legs.

Throughout the design process, Geo-design principles were employed to analyze the unique architectural and natural elements of Villa Arconati and Bollate. The Ballerina's circular form and dynamic aesthetic were inspired from the distinct characteristics of the “Ballerina tree” found in the villa.

Ballerina focuses on saving space and promoting communication, using a circular shape to create a sense of symmetry, balance, rhythm, and uniformity, as opposed to the tension and discomfort of a polygon with fewer lines. This product fosters effective communication and the exchange of ideas among workers and artists in the Villa. 



Ballerina will be deployed in co-working spaces, encouraging collaboration and interaction among users.
