HUG chair
HUG
by Leo Di Caprio
The Hug chair is the second product designed by Leonardo Di Caprio for the Norwegian brand Hus & Dimora. It bears the principles and concepts of Leonardo’s interpretation of Norwegian design tradition. The chair is made of a metal structure designed in form to be a simple, practical and stackable metal chair. But as if “struck by lightening”, the back of the chair makes it look like the person sitting on it is being hugged. The hug brings fun and tenderness to this initially simple chair. Different colours add more fun to the look of the product.

ARIZONA container/cachepot
ARIZONA
by Nicolò Friedman
Following the graphic verticality of a gothic cathedral, in a clean line inspired in nature and the essentiality and functionality of Nordic design, Arizona is a container for plants or the household in the form of a cactus that aims to decorate, bring fun and functionality. A parametric pattern is applied in laser cut to its surface. Arizona is produced in metal with laser cut and with a wooden base. The assemblage is worked by connecting the four metal sheets themselves and to a wooden base.

AKA side tables
AKA
by Leo Di Caprio
The Aka side table collection was created by Leonardo Di Caprio after an immersion in Norwegian culture, incorporating his view and interpretation of the local design tradition. The Aka side tables are tailored to follow a simple and practical manufacturing process, based on simple geometry. The three models display a pure geometric shape - triangles and rectangles - as their structure, which is made with two parallel metal bars folded to form the shape and support the top. Seen from the side, they all have the shape of an “H”. Different sizes and colours add to the playful aspect of the tables, incorporating some of Leonardo’s own history and personality.
