PRIMAVERA
Lea
Ceramiche, Fuori Salone 2017, Milano
“Primavera”
is a special tile designed for Lea Ceramiche in occasion of the exhibition “In
Factory _ Material Landscape” curated by Diego Grandi. The project aims to give
a timeless interpretation of the ancient technique of enamel decoration applied
over contemporary ceramic tiles. Taking inspiration from a traditional motif of
Japanese art of paper decoration, Primavera creates a link with the Italian
tradition of vision and representation of space in architecture. A slight shift
of the point of view turned the waves of a flat graphic pattern into a pergola
seen as a series of arches in perspective view. A thin paper like ceramic once
applied on all vertical surfaces of a room can completely change the perception
of its extension, thus creating the sensation of an endless dimension.
“Primavera” is a space of euphoria and lightness, where redundancy of
decoration determines new borders in the sense of place and time.
