Inspiration behind the design: It was experience mixed with inspiration that moved Antonio Citterio and Toan Nguyen to collaborate on the latest incarnation of the Kelvin family. Borne in their vast knowledge of industrial design, the pieces blend style and function with brilliant results. “With Kelvin, my intent was to start with a spring system and add an essential design,” says Antonio. “The project takes its design cue from a clamp, which becomes the base, and which explicitly evokes the image of a technical object, with an engineering matrix, inspired by bridges and tensile structures.”
