Tray "la stanza dello scirocco" - design Mario Trimarchi, 2010
<<La Stanza dello Scirocco" is a range of item born out the abstract and motoionless atmosphere of a magic place: the room in large Sicilian country homes where one is forced to seek shelter from the sultriness while waiting for the sirocco to die down. It is a room without windows in which you can do nothing but ponder the wind that is undoing all sublunary things outside.
The upshot is a collection of geometrically irregular items made up of small splinters of various sizes, interlaced in an unstable balance.
At the outset, I designed a great deal for the Sirocco Room, endeavouring to stop paper photograms in flight and shadows in light movement.
And so I came up with the idea that "La Stanza dello Scirocco" could be recounted through the story of drawings done by hand through images of shadows, and that we could then ask everyone to exert themselves ever so slightly and make a small input with their own imaginations.>> (Mario Trimarchi)
