Summary

Overview

Situér Milano, in collaboration with TerraViva Competitions, invites architects and designers to create a coordinated furniture collection of three interconnected elements — a main piece (shelving system, console or seating) and two complementary objects (e.g., coat rack, umbrella holder, mirror, lamp, tray). Proposals should reflect a coherent design language rooted in Situér Milano’s expertise in sheet metal, brass and stainless steel, suitable for domestic interiors, retail environments or both. The winning design will be prototyped, commercialised by Situér Milano, and the designer receives a 4% royalty on sales.
