Over Modular System Furniture

Silver A' Design Award Winner 2022

The circular form of the illuminated mirror operates as a powerful symbolic center within Nic Srl's Over Modular System Furniture composition, the perfect geometry traditionally associated with wholeness, completion, and the eternal, here domesticated into daily ritual while retaining its archetypal resonance with self-reflection and contemplation. The vertical poles extending floor-to-ceiling evoke classical column symbolism, suggesting support, order, and the mediation between earthly and elevated realms, their slender proportions updating this architectural vocabulary for contemporary sensibilities while maintaining the dignifying function of structural articulation. The terracotta vessel basin carries rich material associations spanning millennia of ceramic tradition, its earthy coloration connecting the hygienic space to natural elements and artisanal heritage, suggesting purification rituals that transcend mere hygiene. The tripartite division of the system into garment storage, grooming station, and display shelving mirrors traditional domestic hierarchies of preparation, presentation, and possession, encoding a narrative of self-care that moves from private to public readiness. Material choices communicate specific cultural values: the warm metallic finish suggests neither industrial coldness nor excessive ornamentation, positioning the design within a visual language of accessible refinement. The suspended bathrobe functions iconographically as a transitional object, marking the threshold between dressed and undressed states, public and private selves. Open shelving arrangements historically signify trust, transparency, and curated identity, inviting display of personal objects that communicate taste and values to intimate observers. The geometric vocabulary of circles, rectangles, and vertical lines creates a visual grammar of rational order applied to spaces traditionally associated with bodily vulnerability, suggesting design's capacity to dignify daily existence through considered formal intervention.

Over is a flowing and systematic collection to live with comfort and personality the daily rituals. The new furnishing system is designed to offer large flexibility on the project with many solutions and with the integrated elements in the composition like tops, mirrors, glove compartment and accessories. Over collection is available in a wide range of colors and finishes so that everybody can customize his own bathroom. The undoubted success of Over can be traced to the ability to synthesize simplicity and research in precious objects.
