Melodicware explores the auditory experience of objects.

These items contains brass chimes of different lengths that play musical notes. Swinging by breeze or touch, they release casual melodies inspired by Debussy. Melodicware not only embellishes a space as a jewel. Through interaction, it comes to life for a fleeting moment.
The lush fringes of the delicate pieces invite to be touched by passers by, becoming thus an unexpected musical instrument.

Agustina Bottoni
Agustina Bottoni is an independent Argentinian designer based in Milan. She works for companies, private clients and self-productions of objects, textiles and furniture.

Graduated at the University of Buenos Aires, and after years of working in the fashion industry, she transferred to Milan, graduating with honors of the MA in product design at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti. Following, she collaborated with design studios in Italy and the Netherlands before dedicating since 2015 to her independent design practice.

Exploring the language of everyday objects, these projects tell stories through a gentle use of shape. Agustina’s multicultural experience influences the research of different materials and techniques. They also encourage an emotional perception, considering objects as companions in our lives.

Her works have been exhibited at Triennale Design Museum in Milan, Salone del Mobile, Maison&Objet and others.
Since 2016, she is a co-founder of design collective The Ladies’ Room.
