Starting from the concept of “LIVE ETERNAL”, I decided to pay homage to an element that has always been present in the history of art and design. For millennia, it has expressed the aesthetic spirit of the historical period in which it is produced, and can be a common or very precious object. One vase is inspired by ancient art, the other oscillates between the artistic avant-gardes of the 20th century, with decorative elements that bring to mind Matisse’s collages or Picasso’s vases, but also the Memphis movement founded by Sottsass, Cibic, Thun, a movement that perhaps more than others has broken with the past and mixed art and design.
