Specular asymmetry

Pond by Nendo, (yes Nendo is always here). This time with a table set for Moroso, at a glance you see only the mirrored surface, but looking carefully all the graphics appear underneath the tops, reflected on the lower part. The black and white decorations contribute to the light and shadow, full and empty contrast, [...]

Enhanced Architecture

I found this video looking through the June issue Wallpaper magazine, all about the “made in China”. Apart from the exceptional engineering and architectural work, what caught my attention was the sober use of colour, made visible just from some angles, not just adorning and communicating, but expressing all the richness of the Chinese culture.

• Light games

  When the “Salone del Mobile” arrives everyone knows “novelties” are on their way, the odd thing is that “novelties” never come alone, (despite the secrecy of the companies and the early rise of trends) when you see a “new object” there is always a twin sister around and some cousins, spy cases or trend sharing?
