Giò Colonna Romano x Slide
Iconic Objects Between Light and Contemporary Living
As founder and creative soul of Slide, Giò Colonna Romano revolutionised the use of polyethylene in furniture and lighting, transforming simple materials into emotional design experiences. His collections balance playful aesthetics with technical innovation, creating products capable of feeling simultaneously minimal, theatrical and timeless.
Among the most iconic creations, the unmistakable Amore Bench Polyethylene has become an international symbol of emotional design. More than a simple bench, it represents connection, irony and visual storytelling, making terraces, public spaces and hospitality projects instantly recognisable. At the same time, sculptural products such as the Il Vaso Vase Polyethylene reinterpret the traditional planter through oversized proportions and contemporary silhouettes designed to enhance gardens, lounges and outdoor architectural spaces.
The same poetic language appears in the lighting collections. The iconic Globo Hanging Out Pendant Lamp/Lighting Ball transforms illumination into atmosphere, creating floating luminous spheres capable of redefining terraces, poolside areas and contract environments.
Outdoor Design with Playful Italian Identity
The world designed by Giò Colonna Romano extends far beyond lighting. Slide poufs, designer outdoor benches, modern garden stools and decorative accessories interact naturally to create coordinated living experiences where comfort and visual impact coexist effortlessly. Durable polyethylene surfaces, lightweight structures and weather-resistant materials allow these creations to adapt perfectly to residential terraces, hotels, rooftop lounges and outdoor hospitality projects.
The collections also connect seamlessly with the broader worlds of Slide Furniture and Slide Lighting. A luminous pendant lamp beside an iconic bench or sculptural vase creates layered spaces where décor, furniture and light merge into a distinctive Italian lifestyle defined by creativity, emotion and contemporary elegance.
