Milan 08: Italian designer Fabio Novembre presented a series of trays modelled on famous Italian squares at the Driade showroom in Milan last month.
The trays, called 100 Piazze, are made of silver-plated brass.
They depict squares including Campidoglio in Rome, Piazza del Mercato in Lucca, Piazza Santissima Annunziata in Florence, Piazza dell’Annunziata in Venaria Reale, Piazza della Scala in Milan, Piazza Ducale in Vigevano and Piazza San Carlo in Turin.

May 8th, 2008 at 1:27 amI love the interiors Fabio Novembre designs but I can’t help thinking of these trays as kitsch.
May 8th, 2008 at 7:34 amThey ARE kitsch and I love them.
May 8th, 2008 at 8:57 amI’m not a big fan of Fabio Novembre but I like these trays a lot, although I think they’re are not very ergonomic. Nice idea.
May 8th, 2008 at 9:27 amImagine the intern that had to draw all the squares
Very beautiful objects.. What are they used for? trays for buns+cheese?

Are u serious???
Nice objects, but nothing more. It’ imagery. Novembre isn’t the only italian designer great at the moment: he’s just the most sponsored.
Have a look around: world is full of good design, even if it’s not on a design blog or on another famous magazine.
