Segis Alphabet DTA Collection By Roberto Romanello
Segis, Latin for “camel saddle”, is an Italian furniture design company that was founded in 1983 by Franco Dominici. Originally beginning his career in the field of luxury fashion, Dominici transferred his unique flare and flavour into the realm of furniture design, creating an original and innovative business that he is still running today.
The Segis design philosophy revolves around the idea that living life requires the constant moving between spaces. Be it residential, public or workspaces, interacting with objects within these spaces creates a mood unique to each person. Working from an idea that each object has its own reason to exist, Segis’ designs reflect how the relationship between form, function and aesthetic can impact the individual’s disposition.
With many awards won in the area of sustainability, the Segis design and manufacturing process places a huge emphasis on environmentally friendly practices that have a low impact on our earth – a theme that is increasingly important in today’s world. “Ecology is something we have to take care of in all areas: materials, processes, packaging, energy, transportation, places we buy from…” says Dominici.
Segis’ collections are also hallmarked by collaborations with leading international architects and industrial designers. Such unions inspire different technical, productive and creative skills that result in a rich and original energy that flows from the design process through to manufacturing.
One such designer is Roberto Romanello. An architecture graduate from the University of Venice, his real passion was art, specifically figurative and plastic art, which he later channelled into interior decoration, architecture and design. Romanello joined forces with Segis to create the acclaimed Alphabet Collection.
In the Alphabet DTA range you can see and feel Romanello’s artistic edge. Inspired by letters from the Greek alphabet the collection is made up of a lounge, armchair and ottoman. The soft curves and fluid flow of form conjures up a simple aesthetic beauty whilst also providing comfort; so whether you are actively sitting or simply admiring the pieces, both experiences are equally gratifying.
Manufactured in a high-quality steel frame, die-cast aluminium legs and fitted with superior quality foam (with extra padded inserts in back and seats for maximum comfort and support), the Alphabet DTA range is the ultimate fusion of function and aesthetics with typical high-calibre Italian manufacturing.
A collection of beautifully versatile pieces that reflect the elegance and style that Italian furniture is renowned for, the Alphabet DTA range is a sophisticated addition to any home or office environment. We have the complete lounge, ottoman and armchair sets available in maroon, and 2-seater lounges available in grey.
