Even sideboards enter without hesitation in the world of Former’s creatures. We can say without any doubt that we are in presence of “coherent” furniture. Coherent with the rigorous design that gives shape to all the models of Former. Coherent with the extreme quality of wooden finishings, which is a very important feature of Former’s production. Coherent with the search of new innovative particulars, that can be applied both to the aspect and to the substance, which has always been one of Former’s pride.

Dossier Live by Pinuccio Borgonovo

DOSSIER LIVE is the direct project development of the Dossier wardrobe programme. Both the light structure with aluminium side that can be fixed to the wall or to ceiling/floor and the different module widths (48/64/96/128) and heights remain constant features. On the other hand DOSSIER LIVE has its autonomous aspect in its overall open view and in its news making it enjoyable in the living room area, both in a house, in an office and even in shops in general. Besides wooden, lacquered, glass and aluminium shelves we dispose of elements with two different depths, with drawers or flap door (even in glass), extractable trays and practical folder-trays, and all these elements can be assemble on wheels too.

 

Credenze Line by Pinuccio Borgonovo

On a first formal reading, the LINE project is made up of equipped storage units with skirting in glossy metal having a sharp poly-functionality. Actually, inside a glossy or matt lacquered structure divided in several containers, we can insert, singly or matched, aluminium drawers with etched crystal glass bottom or completely in wood, with disappearing-guides granting their complete extraction.
Where the surface should meet the back of the structure, LINE presents an innovative canalisation emanating a white florescent light, exactly where surmounted by the eventual shelf, while, without the shelf, it can be perfect to hide cables for TV, HI-FI etc. trough a thin bar with aluminium finishing.

 

Plinto Credenze by Pinuccio Borgonovo

Plinto is growing and multiplying. Constantly and relentlessly, it is getting bigger and better all the time. After the freely-conceived configurations with independent elements, after the multipurpose wall units, complete with bases, wall units or bookcases, after the cupboards of various styles and dimensions, the project sparked by the practical imagination of Pinuccio Borgonovo, once again shows its capacity to adapt and incorporate every type of solution. Hence the revelation of the supporting side panel that does not distort but rather enhances the product and all its component parts. Hence the appealing combination of traditional configurations with free-standing elements and those that make the side panel itself their major aesthetic and structural feature.

 

Dossier Wardrobe by Pinuccio Borgonovo

The wardrobe manufactured by Former is named Dossier since it includes, according to a rather simple but effective philosophy, a myriad of contents within a single project. It is indeed an articulated wardrobe system fully satisfying any functional and aesthetic requirements. Dossier’s essential goal is to “globalize” the composite universe of wardrobes, by harmonizing within itself traditionally developed wardrobe systems, wardrobe/closets and walk-in closets, in order to be naturally fitted into any space environment. The exclusive engineering of Dossier has allowed for attaining this objective through the use of the main aluminium structure of variable heights and widths functioning in the meantime as a self-supporting base and as an internal partition shoulder as well, whether hooked to the wall or to the ceiling and floor. Such structure represents the real substantial and conceptual core of the entire project, its compass allowing it to solve even the most controversial orientation issue both technically and conceptually.

Walk-in closet by Pinuccio Borgonovo

Dossier is also capable to conform its shape to the wall perimeter of the room. The result may be the wardrobe/walk-in closet, a genial hybrid combining the former’s practical content to the latter’s relaxing space. As a matter of fact, while, on the one side, clothing and accessories are strictly methodically ordered, on the other side, the creative thought of dressing up is given free play.

Bed by Pinuccio Borgonovo

The regal sleep or the most humble rest have many and many requirements. Former with its different bed compositions and a trace of proper presumption, tries to meet all of them. Their design, and this is far away to be a trite contradiction, makes actually simple reading because it is the fruit of a constant and accurate research. They result therefore enjoyable in each environment. Indeed, the raw materials used to manufacture them belong to the usual Former quality tradition, which is its real genetic estate. That makes Former beds perfectly adaptable to each meaning of the word relax.
