Designed by Gianni Pettena in 1967


the design derives from the experience of living in a large place, originally a 19th century atelier for artists, where the furniture had to be conceived on the scale of the place and not on a human scale. It is an object that dialogues with the volume of the overall space and takes into account the fact that that is where it is used. 

RUMBLE is a simple, original form, a womb where everything happens or has already happened, but which still suggests possibilities, other things that can happen there. It is an object that breaks up form as it breaks up function; it acquires meaning when the clean geometry of the initial status quo is upset by equally ungrammatical functions ..

Gianni Pettena (Bolzano 1940) is an architect, artist, critic and architectural historian.

Was member of Global Tools, professor of History of Contemporary Architecture at the University of Florence, he also taught at California State University of Florence and the Architectural Association in London. Co-founder and inspirer in the late 1960s of the Italian Radical Architecture movement, from which much of the contemporary experimentation in the field of architecture and design originated, he carries out experimental work aimed at eliminating disciplinary boundaries and revisiting and reinventing alphabets and languages through projects, furniture, installations, exhibitions, theoretical writings, essays and texts.

The uniqueness of his long career in informed by his rejection of discipline-based roles and methodologies, creating temporary works while constantly seeking alliance with conceptual art, Austrian radical design, Land Art and experimental music.

His work has been presented in museums and institution such as the Venice Biennale, Mori Museum in Tokyo, Barbican Centre in London, Pac in Milan, Museion in Bolzano, the Frac Centre in Orléans and the Pompidou Centers in Paris and Metz. His archive is housed at the CCA in Montréal.
