Bagatti Valsecchi
at Milano Design Week 2022
ON THE OCCASION OF DESIGN WEEK 2022, WE HAVE PARTICIPATED TO THE THIRD EDITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL EVENT HOSTED AT THE BAGATTI VALSECCHI MUSEUM, A LARGE INTERNATIONAL DESIGN HUB THAT HAVE BROUGHT TOGETHER ARCHITECTS, DESIGNERS AND ARTISTS UNDER ONE ROOF WITH THE AIM OF CREATING AN INSPIRATIONAL HUB WHICH PUTS CONTEMPORARY DESIGN AND VISIONARY EXPERIMENTS ON DISPLAY. THE UNEXPECTED COMBINATIONS, THE CONTRASTING PAIRINGS AND THE HOME DESIGN MIXING THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE PROVIDE A SENSE OF MAGIC AND WONDER.
LOCATED IN THE HEART OF MILAN IN VIA GESÙ , ONE OF ITS MOST EXCLUSIVE STREETS IN THE MILANESE CAPITAL, THE RESULT OF AN EXTRAORDINARY COLLECTING STORY OF THE LATE NINETEENTH CENTURY WHICH HAS AS PROTAGONISTS TWO BROTHERS, THE BARONS FAUSTO AND GIUSEPPE BAGATTI VALSECCHI, WHO CREATED A RESIDENCE INSPIRED BY THE HOUSES OF THE LOMBARD SIXTEENTH CENTURY.
THE MIX BETWEEN THE CONTEMPORARY DESIGN OF THE ANCIENT HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM CONVEYS A SENSE OF MAGIC AND AMAZEMENT FOR THE UNEXPECTED COMBINATIONS. A SENSE OF INHABITING AND EXPERIENCING THE MOMENT WANDERING THROUGH THE ROOMS, IMMERSED IN THE PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE.
FOR THE 2022 EXHIBITION, WE HAVE UNVEIL ONE OF OUR MOST INNOVATIVE COLLECTION, IN WHICH WE ARE LITERALLY FUSING CLASSICAL SCULPTURES, DESIGN AND AUGMENTED REALITY, IN A CONCEPT THAT CAN BE INTERPRETED AS MODERN WORKS OF THE 21ST CENTURY. THE AVANT-GARDE CREATIONS, FULL OF POWERFUL CONCEPTUAL QUALITIES, WILL BE DISPLAYED IN CONTRAST WITHIN THE SPACE OF THE CLASSIC NEO-RENAISSANCE STYLE OF THE SALON D’ONORE.
CONCEIVED FOR BOLD ARCHITECTURAL PROJECTS, THE MONUMENTAL SCULPTURES GO BEYOND TRIVIALITY AND PROVIDE A POWERFUL AESTHETIC AND CONCEPTUAL PROPOSITION FOR OUTDOOR USE.
USING HIGHLY DETAILED 3D SCANS OF WORLDS MOST IMPORTANT SCULPTURES, WE PRESENT DIGITALLY MODIFIED SCULPTURES WITH A BOLD NEW CONCEPT. BY USING 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY, WE BRING THE ARTWORK BACK TO THE PHYSICAL REALM, REFINE IT AND REMAKE THE ARTWORK WITH COMPOSITE NEW MATERIALS LIKE JESMONITE AND OTHERS.
HANDMADE BY THE EDUARD LOCOTA, SIGNED ARTWORK, ACCOMPANIED BY A CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY.
SURROUNDED BY MAJESTIC ANTIQUE FURNITURE, NEW SPACES AND FORMS OF EXPRESSION COME TO LIFE IN THIS COLLECTIVE DIALOGUE BETWEEN INNOVATION, THE VISUAL ARTS, RESEARCH, QUALITY AND COHESIVENESS.
