Paper sculptures or design objects? Sinuous shapes and fragile material become something more in the hands of the artist.
UFF the sound and the word of a blow. A good breath with some “F” more to mess up sheets and drawings of an artist’s workshop, mine. What follows: a microcosm of forms and visions in small and large format. Paper obviously that I investigated for more than twenty years and other similar lithe materials, presented in strips or lamellas. UFF design is the common base of several things: a small well-made artifact, an all-round sensory experience, an object at hand, an idea that speaks with other ideas and with space. After a confusion of sheets and drawings, we produce an inventory of things that have nothing to do with the practicality of what is usually called design, they are the possibility of having and providing a real, playful and surprising imaginary. Daniele Papuli
Neodesign is a visual journey of decided, precise, extreme lines, all dressed in total black for the occasion. They express the personal and recognizable sign of the young Talarico, characterized by a timeless stylistic trait: “for me, design is a language.
An international language that needs no words to be spoken. Understandable by everyone and by all cultures, it is direct and immediate. A language we use to communicate beauty. Trough design I reveal my way of seeing the world, my aesthetic vision and my thoughts”. Intuitions become products of sophisticated elegance and rigorous personality, never prevaricating or noisy. The works signed by Leonardo Talarico for MDF Italia, Living Divani, Cappellini, Alcantara and HENRYTIMI, live together.
Very young and graduated in architecture in Mendrisio (Swiss) only two years ago, Anita Morvillo engages with a collection of elements halfway between sculpture and furniture.
They could be luminous objects to illuminate a room or ethereal figures intended for museums and art galleries. All these works are made with a singular ability in the meticulous processing of metal material in filaments. Craftsmanship gives a particularly refined life to rigid textile textures. Initially designed as lamps, then as design objects they proved to be highly sculptural objects, thanks to the precise awareness and knowledge in the architectural field and to the use of structural rules belonging to the language of some skyscrapers.
A composition of 12 maxi luminous elements six meters long and inclined, ascending from the ground to the sky to form a traversable path, a sort of “portal of emotional light” delimited by 4 vertical floor lamps arranged in the manner of “guardians”.
An extremely high and irregular installation to symbolize the complexities of our life paths, to show the possible passages and to give the perception of well-being brought by the light. Sharp, intense rays of enveloping and never dazzling light. These are the new “Slim” lamps by Slide for Life. A complete collection by type and size of, elegant, eco-sustainable, highly efficient lights produced in recycled aluminium and equipped with modular components projected to the future, to be interfaced with the most popular home automation systems such as Alexa and Googe Home.
