Tapeworm is a strip that slides into any roll of tape for an instant tape dispenser. Due to the high yield strength of the material used, Tapeworm returns to its original flat shape despite significant bending and tension. It’s also friendly to you stomach and intestinal track so no worries there.
Designer: Julie Mehretu
Julie Mehretu makes large-scale, gestural paintings that are built up through layers of acrylic paint on canvas overlaid with mark-making using pencil, pen, ink and thick streams of paint. Mehretu’s work conveys a layering and compression of time, space and place and a collapse of art historical references, from the dynamism of the Italian Futurists and the geometric abstraction of Malevich to the enveloping scale of Abstract Expressionist colour field painting. In her highly worked paintings, Mehretu creates new narratives using abstracted images of cities, histories, wars and geographies with a frenetic mark making that for the artist becomes a way of signifying social agency as well suggesting an unravelling of a personal biography.

Inspired by rules within Quattro Libri Dell’Architecttura, La Rotonda is a table and chair set for meeting spaces, designed to act as an area to exchange ideas just like the famous monument it is named after. The central hall, accessible through the 4 loggias, was an ideal point to observe and contemplate the landscape working in perfect harmony with the building. In that same way the table is imagined as a point of view on the world, and the people who have access to it through the 4 “loggias” chairs, will be able to compare themselves and discuss the worldly ideas surrounding them.
