Multifunctional outdoor mobile furniture for the open spaces of the Castello del Valentino, one of the venues of Architecture at the Politecnico di Torino, is to be placed along the 19th Century wing of the baroque residence. From the 28 projects developed by the students of the History and Design Studio, through an initial selection of 7 works by three juries (professors, external critics and the students themselves) and a subsequent discussion with the managers of the spaces of the Castello, a project was selected to be developed and built by a team composed by the student's authors of the shortlisted schemes.
The pair of furnishings share a common structure, a frame enclosing a screen of vertical slats through which planes intersect at different heights, becoming points of support and seating and allowing drawings and models to be displayed. The furniture can be extended in a line or placed in a corner to create a more intimate meeting point.
