Promotion: as part of Milan design week, Febal Casa in collaboration with Zaha Hadid Architects have launched the ONDA furniture collection that aims to "recreate the subtle beauty of nature".

Febal Casa's ONDA comprises a sculptural sideboard and kitchen island equipped with back-painted fused glass doors featuring a metal effect crafted to appear as if the sea's waves have rippled across their surface.

The collection intends to be a "groundbreaking expression of fluid forms" and reinterpret interiors with a fresh architectural style.

The ONDA kitchen island has a depth of 1,218 millimetres and its lengths range from 1,800 to 3,600 millimetres, allowing it to adapt to different kitchen configurations.

Zaha Hadid Architects crafted its door as an "architectural element" that is designed to interact with light. Its back-painted fused glass surface with a metal effect comes in a range of metallic colourways, including Metal Onda, Metal Bronze Onda, Metal Champagne Onda, and Metal Iridium Onda, while its frame is available in black or champagne aluminium.

The door intends to be a striking design statement and redefine an entire interior "moving beyond the concept of a mere front panel to become an architectural element".

The island's worktop, side panels and base can be customised in Febal Casa's materials and finishes from the workshop range to ensure aesthetic and material continuity.

The ONDA sideboard has a back-painted fused glass door with a metal effect, a lacquered top and casing, and an aluminium frame that also comes in black or champagne finishes. It aims to be a focal point of an interior and has dimensions of 2,125 by 745 by 500 millimetres.

The sideboard is a versatile piece that can be situated in a variety of living spaces and intends to strike the balance between having a sophisticated aesthetic whilst also being functional.

According to Febal Casa, both designs were influenced by how the waves of the Adriatic Riviera continuously reshape the surrounding landscape.

"Our approach echoes the timeless coherence of nature but also celebrates Febal Casa's heritage; marrying the fluid forms evident in the natural world with detailed craftmanship in a collection that embodies both contemporary innovation and historic tradition," project director of Zaha Hadid Architects Maurizio Meossi.

Febal Casa and Zaha Hadid Architects also used many elements from architecture when designing the collection, which merges "aesthetic research with cutting-edge production expertise".

"What we love about this project is realising the dream which designers and artists had for a long time: to recreate the subtle beauty of nature," said Zaha Hadid Architects principal Patrik Schumacher.

The collection showcases the signature architectural style of Zaha Hadid Architects, yet is rooted in Febal Casa's visual identity.

"ONDA, born from the collaboration between Febal Casa and Zaha Hadid Architects, represents a strategic evolution for the brand, strengthening our path of growth and internationalization," said the CEO of Colombini Group, Giovanni Battista Vacchi.

"The collaborations with big names in architecture confirm our commitment to innovate the design offer, expanding market opportunities and consolidating our presence in increasingly competitive contexts."

Febal Casa said the collaboration also represents how its brand has established itself on the global design stage in the production of elegant yet innovative furniture.

"ONDA is the perfect expression of what it means to innovate in design: taking an element of nature and translating it into a universal architectural language," said Emanuel Colombini, president and chief design officer of Colombini Group.

"With this collaboration between Febal Casa and Zaha Hadid Architects, inspiration from the Adriatic merges with craftsmanship, giving life to a project that combines form, function and emotion."
