The history of a city is told through its architecture and details. The same ones that can remain unchanged with the passing of decades or undergo changes with a view to modernisation. In some districts of Milan, in fact, those railings that characterised the period of the Italian economic boom are back in fashion. Today, they shine with new life thanks to the restyling of one of the best-trained specialised companies in the sector.
Fontanot made this commitment by entrusting the new design project to Giulio Cappellini. An innovative product line, presented at the annual Fuorisalone, inside the Superloft at Superstudio Più.
One of the characteristics of Milan was to have many 'railing houses' scattered around the city. To 'support' balconies that made history, in every sense. From the children who took advantage of those spaces to play to the chatter of girlfriends from balcony to balcony. But they were also the places where declarations of love took place, in times when everything that technology gives us today was missing.
Their simple, traditional yet modern architecture has over the years become the symbol of Milanese homes par excellence. The famous designer has relaunched this emblem of Milanese history and family, giving shape to the parapet and a steel partition. The former is made of brushed steel while the latter takes on the main role for the upper plate with round millings.
A reminder of the tubular elements at the bottom that give shape to the entire design. The railings are easy to assemble and can be applied to masonry staircases, both inside and outside rooms.
It is the same Hats to emphasise the skill of the Cerasolo company in making metal railings, describing them "simple and sophisticated design. Low elements or high elements - continues the designer - which act as a filter in the rooms. A new and modern reinterpretation of the classic railings of period Milanese houses. Brushed steel creates reflections and gives an elegant and contemporary look to these elements of great formal rigour but characterised by attention to detail, where perfect intersections between curved and linear surfaces characterise their timeless design".
