Massimiliamo Adami puts his name to the Terraviva project: a new step in the company’s constant path of experimentation and ceramic research.

Terraviva is a return to the basic element of the tile itself, earth, to which man is indissolubly linked by a natural relationship that the designer tries to restore: the idea of residential floor is combined to that of “terrestrial floor” and cracks, often considered a defect, become a sign of nature and the distinctive trait of the collection.

The crack is reappraised for its symbolic meaning: crack as the sign of the passage of time from which no material can escape.

Pareti d’Autore by DesignTaleStudio will be present at the Biennale of Venice 2010, showcased at Ambient, the exhibition developed and organised by Laura Villani and which will be held in the enchanting setting and ambience of the Arsenale of Venice – Tesa alle Nappe 90.

Together with well-known artists and companies of the calibre of Paola Crema, Angelo Morucci and Mario Venturini , Gianmaria Potenza  Favero&Milan, the path along Ambient has various pieces of the Pareti d’Autore collection, created by four interior designers and masters of architecture, namely Mario Bellini, Michele De Lucchi, Alessandro Mendini and Karim Rashid.

For his Pareti d’Autore project, Mario Bellini chose to cross the boundary into art, with a work that comes to life thanks to the hand of its creator who uses, with his clear references to conceptual art, his own signature over and over again as an artistic element.

Michele De Lucchi, designed for Pareti d’Autore a surface where the graphic trait becomes material, thanks to the use of glazes and glass grains manufactured using the most ancient techniques of craftsmen.

The Parete d’Autore created by Alessandro Mendini is a surface featuring an irregular geometrical design with the colour palette and with the characteristic playful approach so typical of one of the most recognised designers in the world.

The intricate and vibrant work by Karim Rashid combines silk-printing, glossy decalcomania and satin glazes for a Parete d’Autore expressing all the explosive creative flair of the designer.

All the works embrace art, design and architecture and can be intended as sculptures, design finishes, architectural elements or designer surfaces.
