Fabio - Normali Meraviglie - Chair, Sculpture - Mery

Re. Design work inspired by the Chair no. 1 by Enzo Mari. This work is part of the social design project "Normali Meraviglie", an initiative promoted by the Sacra Famiglia Foundation to protect and enhance the concept of fragility, strongly linked to their guests, in collaboration with the Tam Tam association, a school of visual activities founded by A. Guerriero (director) , A. Mendini, R. Dalisi, G. Ghidelli. The work is described as follows: “I am told I am an uncomfortable chair. And this only because if you want to fully discover me when you sit down, you have to lean forward and look closely at the ceramic applied to my front. But, please, try, or rather, try me. Because if you do, you will discover a wonderful thing: isolated from the whole world, with your gaze fixed on that image, you will discover that your face is the same as mine and that I am you, whoever you are. Thus, in that moment of absolute isolation, you will understand much more about yourself and how much you don't know yet. " The Sacra Famiglia foundation for its project "the chair" asked artists and designers to reinterpret this ancient object. And they did by contributing with their designs and walking new paths to reveal hidden abilities with great results. Generosity is what brought to life the entire project; the generosity of the artists who share their creativity, of those who passionately coordinate the workshop activities, and of those who will purchase the works. Part of the proceeds from the purchase of these works will go to the Foundation Sacra Famiglia for the development and support of their workshop activities. Please note: This unique piece is currently on display/exhibition. After the payment has cleared, it will take 10/15 days for dismantling the exhibition + creating decorative and protective packaging in Boolean subtraction nesting + shipping.
