Danese Milano Fruit Bowl No. 5.5
Fruit bowl no 5.5 can technically be described as a “container” thanks to just a few essential elements – three horizontal bars on two sets of legs. The idea is to hold the fruit in a seemingly unstable way, showing the precariousness of nature.

Ron Gilad
Israel, 1972
Ron Gilad was born in Tel-Aviv, Israel, but currently lives and works in New York City. His hybrid objects combine material with aesthetic play. They sit on the fat, delicious line between the abstract and the functional. His works deal with the relationship between the object and its function, questioning our perceptions.
Varying from one-off to limited editions and production pieces, the works have no “expiration date” and reside in both public and private collections worldwide. Gilad asks unceasing questions in 3D form and fabricates answers that create an arena for fertile doubt. Metaphorically, Gilad is a linguist, creating his own language. He learns the origins of “words” and develops new “synonyms”.
The story of Danese Milano is a narration of material culture, suggested functions, discreet pedagogies and practical beauty. The legacy of the founders, with the work done by Bruno Munari, Enzo Mari, Angelo Mangiarotti and Achille Castiglioni, is found in the catalogue where it continues with the projects of Matali Crasset, Elliot Erwitt, Marco Ferreri, James Irvine, Naoto Fukasawa, Martì Guixè, Jonathan Olivares, Paolo Rizzatto, Francisco Gomez Paz, Jean Nouvel and BIG.
Danese Milano over the decades has assimilated the artistic gestures that had characterized his beginnings to mix and spread them in the methods and challenges that have developed new products. This is how the energy of a contemporary vision coexists and is represented by the editions of Mimmo Paladino, the solutions of Yves Behar and the recent creations of Michele De Lucchi and Richard Hutten
