Design and ceramics renew a shopping center
FMG Fabbrica Marmi and architect Paolo Gianfrancesco, of THG Arkitektar Studio, have designed the restyling of the third floor of Reykjavik's largest shopping center. Ceramic, the central element of the project, covers floors, walls and furniture with versatile solutions and distinctive character.
His work forms the centre of an extensive travelling retrospective which after having moved around Europe over the last two years, now comes to Mart in Rovereto (until 4 May).
The exhibition, curated by Robert Wilson, includes sculptures and product design (furniture for Knoll, Akari lamps in rise paper and bamboo).
It also covers his work as a set designer (with Martha Graham, George Balanchine and Merce Cunningham) and designer of gardens, play areas and urban spaces (in collaboration with, amongst others, Kenzo Tange and Gordon Bunshaft).
until 4.5.2003

For a new ecology of living
Ada Bursi’s legacy is transformed into an exam project of the two-year Interior Design specialist program at IED Turin, unfolding a narrative on contemporary living, between ecology, spatial flexibility, and social awareness.
