Less is…Bold!
CUF Milano Centrufficio's design brand, presents Bold, the collection developed in collaboration with designer Matteo Silverio that breaks the mould of classic executive systems.
Designed under the banner of deconstruction and recomposition of the classic desk, it stems from the desire to create a product that, in addition to fulfilling its primary function (being a desk), has a strong formal and sculptural identity.
Bold, design by Matteo Silverio, is the classic desk deconstructed and recomposed.
An apparently simple object, composed of just a few elements, but which in reality contains within it a high level of complexity because the few pieces have been designed in such a way as to make the entire structure solid and also easy to assemble.
The suspended top, with its milled edge emphasising its lightness, is reminiscent of a seagull's wing but also of an oar blade. Both, as well as being legacies of the designer's Venetian origins, are technological jewels because they are both light and strong.
Bold is lightness and resistance.
A synthesis achieved thanks to the excellent teamwork between CUF's R&D team and that of designer Matteo Silverio, taking full advantage of new technologies and using plywood as a material: resistant, easy to work with, immediately recognisable.
Last but not least, it is made of wood, which means it is natural and recyclable.

Matteo Silverio is a Venetian architect and researcher, expert in computational design and digital fabrication. During his professional career he has collaborated with several international studios, playing the role of lead designer and project manager in the development of innovative projects, many of them winners of international competitions.
Since 2017 he has been leading a multidisciplinary team based in Murano (matteosilverio.com) with which he promotes and develops projects on different scales and sectors, using horizontal knowledge and contaminating “distant” fields: coding to optimise shapes or minimise waste, biology to paint pictures and produce energy, chemistry to transform waste into works of art in a circular economy perspective. Many of his projects have been published in magazines and books and exhibited in prestigious museums and institutions such as the Mint Gallery and the Saatchi Gallery (London), the Design Museum in Dubai and the Corning Museum of Glass (New York).
In addition to his professional practice, Matteo also teaches and researches in the field of computational design and digital fabrication, with a particular focus on issues related to environmental sustainability and the circular economy. He currently teaches at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rovereto, the European Institute of Design (IED) in Venice and the IUAV University in Venice.
