Here we are once again after the summer break with a summary of the various activities that will characterise September and October, a “hot” time for the ceramic industry. As always, we like to be a little “mysterious”, so we will reveal just a glimpse of things to come, but not everything, of course…

• Refin and DesignTaleStudio will be present at Cersaie 2009, taking place this year in Bologna from September 29 to October 3 and will once again see us teaming up with Michele De Lucchi following the same path we started together at the recent Fuorisalone. The absolute protagonist for DTS will be the new Gold and Platinum Tagli d’Autore and a brand-new collection … what a mystery!
• During October, the first Refin showroom will open in a famous Italian location: not a mere commercial venue but a place where we will organise numerous events promoting Italian architecture, design and ceramics. Where will this be? Another mystery!
• But it is not a mystery that, until November 22, we will be present at the Biennale in Venice with the Design On Stage design set organised by Laura Villani, photographs of which can be seen on our Flickr account.

What else can we say, if you are looking forward to finding out what these mysteries are… stay tuned!

Here are some new photos of our event at the Fenice theatre, in particular those of the gala night with Elio Fiorucci.

The 53rd edition Biennale Internazionale d’Arte exhibition, this year entitled Making Worlds (Fare Mondi), to be held at the Gardens, at the Arsenale as well as other sites in Venice, will open to the public from June 7 to November 22, 2009, and will bring together in one exhibition more than 90 artists from around the world to showcase new works of art expressing a myriad of varied and diverse creative languages.

Refin will loan some of their DesignTale Studio works to the Fondazione Teatro La Fenice for the opening events as well as throughout the duration of the exhibition, and create the Fenice Design On Stage event. The celebrated rooms of the Gran Teatro la Fenice in Venece will host the exhibition of Pareti d’Autore by DesignTaleStudio created for the Design On Stage events of last years.  The works and set-design created by Michele De Lucchi, Sandra Bermudez, Karim Rashid, Elio Fiorucci and Romina Power will be exhibited and the guests will be given informative literature on DesignTaleStudio creative laboratory.

The inauguration of the event will be on Saturday, June 6, and the work will be exhibited in the theatre until September. This event represents a unique opportunity to once again underline the creative drive guiding DesignTaleStudio, which will be present at the Temple of International Art, the Biennale in Venice, with a strong co-marketing event.

For those who would like to attend the opening of the event, an invitation card (which should be compiled and sent to us) is attached.
