We would like to close the series of videos taken during The Grand Design Tour event with the presentation, by Laura Villani, of Sandra Bermudez slab, displayed at the Otto Gallery in Bologna. A work with a strong graphic element which uses crunched paper as a metaphor of the feminine work.

In this video, Laura Villani, “director” of the Grand Design Tour event and Paolo Cesana, Refin’s marketing manager, present DesignTaleStudio ceramic slabs created by Karim Rashid. Works which perfectly fit the aesthetic tradition of the Egyptian designer and which can be used to clad and decorate both interiors and exteriors. The video was filmed at the art gallery “L’Ariete Artecontemporanea” in Bologna during the inaugural event of the Grand Design Tour.

Towards the end of his speech during the Grand Design Tour, Elio Fiorucci once again underlines the importance of decoration and of the detailed use of colours which has always been a cornerstone of his aesthetics in the field of fashion-design. Summing up, he reported an interesting anecdote connected with his friendship with Andy Warhol in the 70s and a discussion they had about the theme of aesthetics in modern times.

In this extract, Elio Fiorucci goes into depth commenting on his ceramic slab prototype designed for DesignTaleStudio, and on “the mouth” as a positive visual archetype with a huge semantic potential yet easily understandable even though it was difficult to draw. The intense use of colour and the sensation of global sweetness and sensuality make this ceramic slab a “100% Fiorucci” work of art.

With this post, Federica, a young writer from Parma with a strong passion for ceramic and design, starts her collaboration with DesignTaleStudio. Welcome!
