LAKE COMO DESIGN FESTIVAL 2021

In occasion of the 2021 edition of Lake Como Design Festival, Draga & Aurel presented a site-specific project at Palazzo Valli Bruni.

The historical location was the stunning set for the new CALA benches, a new addition to Draga & Aurel’s Transparency Matters collection, and the designer’s personal homage to Como Lake, its colors and shades.

The benches are made in collaboration with Holcim Italia, the Italian branch of the Holcim Group, leader in the provision of sustainable and innovative solutions in the construction sector. For the Cala benches, the duo have used Ductal®, the high-performance concrete UHFPC (Ultra High Fiber Performance Concrete) increasingly used for the interior design sector. The concrete is juxtaposed with transparent colored resin, providing a bright, liquid and deep effect.
