“CRAFTING CONNECTION, REDIFINING SPACES”
SCENARIO
In 2034 Milan, traditional energy scarcity will socially and financially affect residents of social housing (Case Popolari). Non-profit associations strive for community well-being in these areas, while lacking suitable locations and effective communication. Unoccupied spaces in buildings offer an untapped resource, to potentially reshape communities’ day-to-day in terms of energy and people connection.
SERVICE
Courtile fosters connections in marginalized communities by gathering social, governmental, and production entities. It serves as a hub for information and resources for community welfare in neighborhoods where Case Popolari buildings are located. Additionally, Courtile develops solar-powered shared spaces, facilitating neighbor interactions and supporting local associations in their initiatives for community development.
PRODUCT
Just as the tiles of a mosaic acquire meaning when brought together, the Courtile stool finds its purpose when placed within shared spaces. Whether displayed individually or hung on the wall, the stool becomes a symbol of connectivity, reflecting Courtile’s commitment to creating new bonds and emphasising the essence of community.
