At the end, the protagonists brought us the ORAURO, sofa designed by Emanuele Magini and produced by JCP. The classic sofa designed without upholster and remains only the trace of its folds and volume. Presenting twine of gold and air that outlines the essence of the object and highlights its precious soul.
“It has strength the eye cannot discern, – says the artist – because I have
forged it from secret and impalpable things: the footstep of a cat, the
uncertainty principle, the roots of a cloud, the breath of a fish and the spittle of
a bird.”
The show was directed by Athanasios Alexo Image Artist while the music was produced by Andrea Giomi.
