At this year’s Salone del Mobile, Foster + Partners Industrial Design launched Ori, a sculptural birdfeeder designed in collaboration with Danese Milano. Ori is set to be a distinctive addition to any outdoor space. The studio also extended several existing collections including an indoor version of the Vea lighting collection with Artemide; and new additions to the BAY System with Poltrona Frau.
Ori, Danese Milano
Unlike traditional bird feeders, Ori introduces a bold, graphic presence that can either contrast or blend beautifully with natural surroundings, redefining outdoor accessories as sculptural statements. It is designed to be suspended from a tree branch, as a floor standing feeder, or as a standing water bath, that seamlessly blends form and function.
Ori was crafted through an iterative design process focused on aesthetics, functionality and purity. Composed of spun aluminium cones, stainless steel elements and threaded aluminium tubes, its vertical axis locks all components together ensuring stability and ease of maintenance. Responding to seasonal changes and bird species, the swapable feeding tube and cages allow for a variety of food types, including seeds, nuts and suet.
