Zilio A&C’s output is held together by the underlying theme of innovation and functionality, brought together in a Japanese-Scandinavian aesthetic

These 100% Made in Italy Zilio A&C’s collections have showcased a host of internationally acclaimed designers in recent years, from the Japanese Studio, Mentsen, currently art director of the Northeast Italian brand, to the Swiss Simon Kämpfer, based in London. Also from Japan are the shrewd and elegant solutions of Tomoko Azumi and t.n.a. studio, flanking the essential design of Germany's Peter Otto Vosding, and Spain's David Dolcini.

LEEK, Studio Mentsen

Studio Mentsen’s clothes hanger, Leek, combines function, style, production, and respect for the environment in perfect harmony: three identical ash elements, combined by two seemingly simple connectors, shape an elegant, versatile, and timeless product. Each element, steam-curved and machined into variable sections, ensures stability and strength without sacrificing its sleek, minimal, and contemporary lines. Compact packaging and intuitive assembly, together with the FSC-certified wood species used in Zilio A&C production, allows for a reduction in environmental impact - a nature-friendly choice, to be sure.

WOODSTOCK, David Dolcini

Playful and practical, the Woodstock coat racks, designed by Spaniard, David Dolcini, are especially charming for their versatility. The stripped-down, simple geometry insists on echoing the archetypal wall hanging, becoming almost a "button" to play with in the almost infinite combination of elements.
