Materiality is the property of a surface to produce meaning: this means not only satisfying the sensory organs of sight and hearing but also recalling sensations and memories to stimulate an empathic relationship between observer and product.
Miuccia’s design is inspired by the archetypes of Italian furniture, reinterpreted in a contemporary key. Contrast therefore represents the cornerstone of the project. Temporal contrast between past and present, but also chromatic contrast between velvet blue and pink copper, contrast between the warm soft-touch of the doors and cold materials such as stone and metal, contrast between the brilliance of the Volakas marble surfaces and the tactile richness of the three-dimensional processing.
