Wallpaper magazine invited me to design a piece especially for their yearly milanaise exhibition Handmade. I was paired with Coverings ETC, a Miami based manufacturer of material such as terrazzo, marble or glass.

The project started with a box of samples I received from them. My interest went directly to the Bioglass, a recycled glass material with a beautiful inner structure and color range – crystal white, light turquoise, or deep green… all reminding us the original use of glass bottles.

For the Handmade exhibition, I have designed a space-divider that uses the Bioglass panels as a structural element. I like the idea of it being a decorative architectural element that serves also as a shelf.

The screen play with transparency and with the translucence of the material. It is based on a play of showing or hiding, in a rhythmic, almost kinetic way. I like to create a certain idea of movement in static objects.
