JU 52
The materials and forms selected for the development of this model were inspired by historic aeroplanes. The outer case of the housing is made of high quality, moulded panels of light metal,
exactly as was used in aeroplane construction. For the securing of the casing, the familiar old technique of riveting has been exactly reproduced. In the front and rear areas of the model, fine French walnut has been worked in which, together with the typical cockpit elements, goes to make up a successful optical composition.
Q
´In “Q”, the purity of the colour white has been combined with the provocative optical effect of oxidised steel. The foot consists of an original, oxidised circular saw blade, seeming to cut the housing in two, thus lending the model its particular effect. The high gloss enamel
inset mother-of-pearl effect emphasises the special nature of this study. All the computer’s hardware functions are controlled via a touch display on the top of the housing.
Decimus Mappa Maser
The main feature of this model is the curved form, which in architecture represents strength and load-bearing capacity. The combination of the natural irregularity of the wood and the clear lines of the curve and the body results in a successful and harmonious appearance. The front casings and switches provide a lovely contrast to the wood and the materials used in these vary from model to model.
Conciniere
A cross-section of the shape of the “Concinere” housing reveals an upright parallelogram. The side support made of solid walnut has an aluminium vein running right through it containing, as a particular eye-catcher, a complete Testa Motari engraving.
PARVUS Verona Maser
The main characteristic of the appearance of the model “Parvus” is its noble simplicity. Its body tilts backwards and lends a dynamism to its optical appearance. “Parvus” breaks through the
familiar lines of furnishing architecture with its extraordinary form. This is another study where we combine different materials to achieve an effective contrast.
Rock
The combination of high gloss black metallic enamel and the exquisite optical effect of gold and diamonds which we have chosen here lend this model an especially noble appearance. The drive facings and the feet of the appliance have been made from gold. As an optical highlight, diamonds have been set into the front, spelling out the initials of Testa Motari.
LÜCIUS Umbra
The L-shaped support and the gap between it and the computer housing are the characteristics of our “Lücius” models. The support contains the control elements of the computer and lends the model a simple but striking elegance with its clear lines.
LINEA
The robust metal braces demonstrate their power with beauty, constancy and strength and allow the solid body to soar as if it had wings. “Linea’s” optical effect is achieved with simple, geometric forms.
