/TRANSPARENCY/
Our first collection
Transparency, a primary social value for respect for human relationships and the community.
A personal value that indicates awareness of oneself and one's objectives and thanks to which one is perceived as transparent to others too.
The art of receiving
Transparency in Values and the Art of Receiving.
Convivial transparency, to enhance those moments of conviviality at the table so that they are not lost. Conviviality represents a very powerful communication tool for the transmission of values and a powerful identity factor that contributes to preserving and renewing the bond with one's roots.
Our pride
Transparency in Values and the Art of Receiving.
Transparency in craftsmanship, which is not only the traditional one tied to the hands, but also the digital one or the virtuosity in the use of industrial machinery and innovative and sustainable production technologies. EGOUNDESIGN wants to give voice to that important role of social catalyst that work has: the dignified profession that, with transparency, creates value and makes those who do it proud by renewing sincere and transparent social and community bonds in an original way.

High or low, small or large, yellow or blue, simple or elegant... our MISSORIUM does 5 for you.

How many ties, how many historical movements born around a coffee, how many ideas. What society would it be without a coffee break?
EGOUNDESIGN - the project
EGOUNDESIGN begins its design journey by choosing a clear and pure material, Perspex, as an engaging and expressive interpreter of the values of transparency.
Closed in their homes, limited in large meetings and instead focused on the harmony and concreteness of their families and their own table, in an exceptional historical moment of Covid-19, the /tra·spa·rèn·za/ collection was born.
A re-enactment of human relationships in the hope, soon, of being able to meet again to share, celebrate, grow.
A collection with essential lines, free of redundancies, functional to the most exciting art, in which, especially we Italians, we are masters: the Art of receiving.
The materials
Perspex
A plastic material (methyl methacrylate resin) which, due to its transparency and unbreakability, replaces glass in various uses.
The main properties of Perspex are high transparency, mechanical resistance, excellent resistance to the outside and to ageing, exceptional stability to light and atmospheric agents and finally the brilliant appearance.
The mechanical resistance, rigidity and hardness are among the highest in the thermoplastic field.
Graphene
A material obtained in the laboratory from the exfoliation of graphite and is made up of a monoatomic layer of carbon, organized according to a crystalline structure with hexagonal cells. Its very small thickness of 0,3 nanometers allows it to be defined as a two-dimensional material.
It has the theoretical strength of diamond and the ductility of plastic. Flexible, thin, resistant, transparent, waterproof and sustainable, graphene is the material of the new millennium, with ancient roots - graphite - which are rooted in our everyday life. With its single atom thickness, graphene is the thinnest and most seductive substance in the world today.
Processing
Laser cutting
Perspex sheets can be cut, milled, drilled, turned, ground, polished, engraved, glued, screen-printed, deep-drawn, bent, thermoformed.
Cutting the sheets with laser technology allows you to cut the different thicknesses of methacrylate and obtain the formats necessary for the project.
Perspex folding techniques
To obtain the bending of the methacrylate it is necessary to carry out manual and precision processing. The use of a conductive cylinder as a source of strong heat allows the ideal temperature to be reached for bending the Perspex sheet. Once the folds necessary for the design have been made, the product remains motionless, blocked by weights until the methacrylate has completely cooled.
Three-dimensional printing (FDM)
The 3D printing process is based on the additive manufacturing technique which, starting from an empty space, allows the machine to deposit material only where it is necessary, layer by layer, until the complete piece is created. Furthermore, through FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology, innovative and biodegradable thermoplastic polymers are used which are processed in the form of filaments.
The PLA (Polylactic Acid) filament, under certain conditions, becomes biodegradable. Depending on the environments in which it is abandoned, it has an average lifespan ranging from 1 to 4 years, compared to +100 for commonly used plastic materials. In conditions of normal use it also has excellent mechanical properties and resistance to chemical agents.

Getting together: to talk about each other, to rediscover yourself over a coffee. The transparency collection is RITROVO. And you, who would you like to meet up with?
