nendo
nendo is a design firm based in Tokyo and Milan that works on all scales, from interior architecture to furniture, and collaborates with leading international design brands. nendo's projects are exhibited in museums such as New York’s Museum of Modern Art, Centre Pompidou, Victoria Albert Museum, and more.
A small human figure is placed underneath the Technogym Bench, engaged in training. A side of the Bench is slightly lifted by this figure, caught in an effort that makes her sweat. A pattern of large sweat droplets adorn the Bench, all coated with UV resin to create a three-dimensional texture. This creation aligns with nendo's distinguished minimal aesthetic imbued with an innate sense of fun.
Design to Move
A special exhibition held at Technogym Milano during 2024 Design Week, Design to Move explores the unique and profound connection between design and wellness, style and functionality, emotional and tangible. The exclusive Technogym Bench collection, beyond its functional use, serves as an artistic expression and a symbol of social responsibility. After being showcased at Milan Design Week, the creations will be auctioned off in collaboration with Sotheby's and sold on technogym.com. All profits will be donated to UNICEF*.
