Katsura: a shared vision of material and design with Cuoio Presot
At Lineapelle Interiors, held in Milan from 25 to 27 February 2025, we presented Katsura: a collective project born in Pordenone together with Conceria Cuoio Presot and designed by architect Maurizio Molini. Katsura is a screen that takes shape from the meeting of different expertise and a shared vision of making design. The inspiration comes from the Villa Imperiale Katsura: the modular rhythm of its checkerboard boiserie is reinterpreted in a contemporary key through curved panels that interact with space and light.
The structure originates from an element of our collection: the headboards of AluAlu, the bed designed by Luciano Bertoncini. A detail that changes scale and function while maintaining design coherence and formal rigor. The vegetable-tanned leather supplied by Presot adds material depth and a sensory dimension that evolves over time. Alongside Presot and Kristalia, the project also involved B.f. Meccanica Srl, a company specialized in metal carpentry and industrial automation, which developed the brass hinges and hardware. Essential technical elements conceived to ensure functionality, precision and elegance.
Katsura is not simply a partition: it defines space, filters it and creates a dialogue with its surroundings. It is the result of a conversation between industry and craftsmanship, between material and design. An object that embodies the value of teamwork and the strength of a territory capable of transforming diverse expertise into a shared vision.
