- The meeting between Zanat and Michele De Lucchi is emotionally alike to a chance encounter of soulmates who could spend an eternity talking about a topic they had previously thought belonged exclusively to the island of their solitude. The topics that made this encounter almost inevitable are, of course, wood and craftsmanship in the first place, but also a shared passion for art and design. A designer, architect and writer, Michele De Lucchi (born in 1951) is one of the greatest representatives of Italian design of the last few decades. He is equally known for extraordinary architectural works, artistic installations and designs of iconic products such as the Tolomeo lamp (the world's most sold lamp of all time, produced by Artemide since 1987) for which Michelle De Lucchi won his first of four Compasso d'Oros. "Among the thousand ways the knowledge of woodworking is approached around the world, Zanat's way of doing it is one the most unique and personal." - Michele De Lucchi Designed by Michelle De Lucchi, Dom plate is a meticulously crafted sculpture resembling a star map guiding us home. The profound appeal of Dom plates is to be found in brilliantly designed geometry, meticulously executed details-which bear witness to enduring value of fine craftsmanship, and the warmth and tactility of solid wood. "For me, as an architect and designer, the real topic of the time is to investigate-and to better understand in a theoretical way-the difference between temporality and eternity, what has to be temporary and what has to be permanent."
