“Materials have always been important to all human activities and to the design world. We are made of matter as well as thought, but also of soul, as someone could say. The solid side of our lives will always be important”.

With these words, Emilio Genovesi, the CEO and soul of Materially for many years, has photographed the key role of materials in the design culture. The solid side is coming back at Milan Design Week in 2021 in the Materials Village hosted by Superstudio. This year, there will be a Special Edition in terms of dimensions and meaning that will recall companies coming from different fields to work around a single theme: innovative and eco-friendly materials for daily life.

A book is a portal that allows you to access fantastic worlds and escape from everyday life; it also can be a valuable training tool, through which you can always learn something new. Often jealously guarded by those who read it, a book finds his refuge in bookcases. Not only design elements, but real containers of stories and objects, just like Socrate, the bookshelf created by Caimi.

Facilitating the organization of books and objects is the main function of Socrate, a modular system of bookcases with a metal structure. It is characterized by an extreme flexibility of composition, suitable to meet different needs, both in terms of space and style.
