Darsi delle Arie is a collaboration between NABA and Leifheit that transforms a mop into a piece of furniture through parasitic design. Starting from a careful analysis of Leifheit's patented rotary mechanism, the project reinterprets rotation as a generative principle, turning a purely functional motion into a non-electric fan system. The result celebrates traditional domestic gestures, elevating an everyday cleaning tool into a tangible spatial experience.
