FROM INDUSTRIAL DESIGN — Cesare Bizzotto & Tobias Nitsche
Cesare Bizzotto and Tobias Nitsche work together as FROM INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, and designed the Plié shelving system for UTIL.
Plié is built from folded sheet metal — the name is the operation. A single bend does the work that a bracket or a frame would otherwise do, which is why the shelves read as one continuous surface rather than an assembly.
The system extends horizontally and vertically from the same components, so a single shelf and a full wall unit are the same product at different lengths. It won a German Design Award in 2019.
