And what did we refine?
We transformed a humble service trolley and made it into a beautiful and particularly versatile object.
And this is no small thing.
A special feature of PI-NERO (“nero” in Italian means black) that immediately catches the eye are its bi-colour ABS plastic shelves!
The top is white with a glossy finish, while the underside and the outer part of the raised edge is black, with different finishes: glossy and matt!
We achieved this not by gluing two pieces together, but by using a special two-colour injection moulding, an innovative and highly technical solution.
We therefore have a mould that weighs a good 9 tonnes and rotates on its own axis; with just one mould we can make all three types of shelves: top shelf, intermediate shelves and base shelf which incorporates the bumpers.
It was a brave and ambitious choice to ‘refine’ (our ‘refining’ treatment) a service trolley. We did it as a pure choice of style and innovation by applying an exquisitely Italian design to a common object used in healthcare.
PI-NERO is our new transformable trolley!
We started with the desire to innovate the concept and construction of a service trolley (typically with 2 or 3 shelves) and subjected it to the ‘refining treatment’.
Usually seen as a mere means of transport or as an occasional support surface, we asked ourselves whether we could not get more out of a ‘simple service trolley’.
What if, in addition to its logistical role, we also wanted to make it a multifunctional trolley? A trolley that can also be used for treatments, or for administering medications.
The result is PI-NERO, a newly developed trolley, almost a hybrid between a service trolley and a real med trolley.
