Bridge-inspired furniture is CNC machined and hand sanded

MILAN -- London-based designer Sabi unveiled a furniture duo comprising a bookshelf and a chair that each incorporate elements found in a tied arch bridge. Sabina Blasiotti, creative director of Sabi, said the furniture named IL Pontaio pays homage to the timeless elegance of Italian classical furniture design. She added that she drew inspiration from the symbolism, aesthetics, structural integrity, and cultural significance of bridges for the Il Pontaio furniture pieces.
