FORMS & TEXTURES

Milan, Italy

The “Forms & Textures” exhibition was presented at the Milan Design Week 2022 to start the discussion about the boundaries between Art & Design.

Who is responsible to define if an object is considered an artwork or just a design? Is functionality the only reason to justify an object as a design element instead as an artwork? Or is it the reflection behind the object that makes it an artistic interpretation?

With the aim to reflect about the boundaries about Art & Design we started the design process through some lines drawn on paper.

Although we wanted to create sculptures the mindset from Ana used to create function for everything in her daily life as a designer ended up converting the sculptures in forms of furniture & lighting objects.

You can recognize the forms of lamps, chairs, a stool and a room divider. 

 

Although 3D machining-technology was used, imperfections were created with the aim to follow the process of experimenting with different textures, like an artist would do. 

 

Herby the reflection about the boundaries between Art & Design is not only realized through the design process, but also through the sculptures themselves.
