Lorenzl - Normali Meraviglie - Chair, Sculpture - Mal

Re. Design work inspired by the Rood Blauwe Chair by Gerrit Rietveld. 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 related 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: “They say I am the redesign of a chair by Gerrit Rietveld. Many say it with a hint of contempt as if I were someone who can never be himself and needs to mimic someone else to exist. Actually, I think we all grow up wanting to be someone else. The child wants to be like his father, the teenager wants to look like his idol and so on. Some adjust while others "steal" the personality they admire by making it their own and changing some parts to give life to something equally great yet completely new. Just like I did, playing with colours on Rietveld’s shape. So it is true: I bring you an idea of the past. But with the scent of the future. " 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.
