The history of the development of Fantoni’s 45° program could be called “Multipli evolution”. In 1968 Gino Valle designed Multipli for Fantoni, a furnishing program meant to meet the different requirements of office activities. The aim was to overcome the concept of office as “top-down structure” in favour of an open system, unconstrained and in constant evolution. The basic concept is indeed the modularity which is not limited to dimensions only but concerns also the shape of the different elements, without unnecessary decorative or functional details, including handles.
Each function of the work place is taken down to single elements that can be used freely, alone or in groups.
The basic concepts of Multipli program can be found in almost all the following operative and executive collections by Fantoni and became part of the company’s philosophy. For example, the 45° edge cut - which visually cancels the thickness of the tops, thus making a perfect volume of each single furnishing item – can be found in the “45” collection at the end of the 70s (the first offices to be furnished with this collection were those of Zanussi in Pordenone, also designed by Gino Valle), in the “Mèta 45” collection, dated 1996, and in the “Multipli” collection in oak finish, dated 2006. Whilst changing the other elements of the composition, this peculiar cut represents a distinguishing feature of Fantoni’s production. It is hardly ever found in other products as it requires the use of “inconvenient technology”. The 45° edge has an important role in the “shape-module” concept and allows numberless combinations.
The MultipliCeo collection, designed by studio Dal Lago Associati of Milan, now represents a further, prestigious evolution of the previous Multipli collection, a concept of design which has had a great influence over time. MDF tops with their 45° profile, a distinguishing feature of the original design by Gino Valle, are completely covered with leather, a warm material, full of personality, available in different colours to create unique environments.
The dematerialization of the panel, the essential lines, the minimal features of the furnishings by Fantoni express a particular view of office space, an environment in which the absence of appearance for itself leaves space for action, a philosophy which no longer considers the office as a place “furnished for working” but as a micro-world which involves body and soul and means a continuous pursuit for total well-being, from the ergonomics of the seating to the freedom of movement in operative spaces,
to the new frontier of acoustic well-being. A blend which involves the whole person for an ever bolder project of wellness work.
