Mediterranea Design
Mediterranea Design is an Italian architecture and design studio specialising in computational design and additive manufacturing (3D printing) — founded in 2007 in Cava de' Tirreni (Province of Salerno, Campania), on the outskirts of the Amalfi Coast, as Medaarch srl. Co-founder and designer: Amleto Picerno Ceraso (architect and designer). Guiding philosophy: digital technologies and a humanistic approach go hand in hand — with sustainability as the overriding goal. Ceraso formulates this as a revival of the "holistic approach of the Italian Renaissance workshop": in this scenario, new technical resources serve life, not the other way around. The Mediterranea furniture brand was developed as an expression of this philosophy — combining Italian talent, new technology, sustainability and Made-in-Italy craftsmanship.
Product programme: 3D-printed furniture and accessories in bioplastics, ceramics and other sustainable materials; fully additive manufacturing enables structures and configurations not achievable with conventional production. Guiding concept: "When Substance Thinks". Reinterpretation of plastic furniture with emphasis on innovation and sustainability from a Mediterranean perspective — balance between "bello e ben fatto" (beautiful and well made). Bespoke 3D printing projects for architects and planners. Own R&D department for material experiments.
For architects and interior designers seeking for luxury residential, boutique hotel and demanding innovative contract projects an architecture and design studio founded in Cava de' Tirreni (Amalfi Coast, Campania) in 2007 by Amleto Picerno Ceraso that with computational design and 3D printing as primary manufacturing methods, bioplastics, ceramics and sustainable materials, the guiding image of the digital Renaissance workshop and an own R&D department — Mediterranea Design has demonstrated in Cava de' Tirreni that the "holistic approach of the Italian Renaissance workshop" lives on in 3D printing with bioplastics: digital technology in service of life, Made in Italy, from the Amalfi Coast.
