The collaboration between Seletti e Cervellati, the most popular design shop in the city of Emilia.
The location hosted a special preview of the new and unprecedented collections created by designer Marcantonio for the Italian brand.
The collections are named Memorabilia Mvsevm e Fingersthe first comprises a series of objects that pay homage to the works of the greatest sculptors
Italian classics, the second is an eclectic and sophisticated tableware assortment that evokes ancient craftsmanship.
Presented with an installation specially designed for the historic store, the two projects bear the whimsical and creative signature of one of Italy's most irreverent and captivating designers.
The iconicity of classical sculpture enters homes with Memorabilia Mvsevmwhich consists of nine reproductions of human body parts in fine porcelain inspired by the works of the greatest classical Italian sculptors, from Michelangelo a Bernini e Canova. Archaeological finds of sculptures that pay homage to the canons of classical beauty. An eye, a male hand
and a female one, a mouth, a nose, an ear, a male and a female foot, a penis: collectable objects that seem to come from a glorious past. Art meets design to enrich the everyday with meanings that draw from the oneiric and from apparently irreconcilable universes.
Fingers is a collection for the table that consists of brass objects that seem to be hand-moulded, finished with a texture that evokes fingerprints. Brass combines with porcelain, the materiality of metal merges with archetypal, almost ancestral forms, renewing their simplicity and transforming them into objects for the home of the third millennium.
