FORMS & TEXTURES
Milan, Italy
40 m2
With the “Forms & Textures” exhibition we want to start the discussion about the boundaries between Art & Design. Who is responsible to define if an object is considered an artwork or just a design? Is functionality the only reason to justify an object as a design element instead as an artwork? Or is it the reflection behind the object that makes it an artistic interpretation?
The “Forms & Textures” collection in this sense is presented as a serie of individual objects that could be interpreted at first sight as a chair, a lamp or a room divider, although its unusual and at first sight uncomfortable forms are making clear that we are not speaking about a functional design object.
The collection created from a line drawn on paper to a 3D printed object thus recreates a series of different forms that could represent a furniture and lighting collection, but although its unusual and unusable forms convert them in an artwork challenging the viewer to reflect about the boundaries between Art & Design.
