Vanitas

by Superstudio
Vanitas ha origine dall’idea di utilizzare gli scarti di lavorazione del marmo e fa parte di una serie costituita da piccoli specchi e da un portafoto di Superstudio. Un’opera di bricolage, più che di creazione, la definì all’epoca il gruppo fiorentino. Mediante studiate fresature l’irregolare pezzo di marmo diventa il prezioso supporto per una lastra di metacrilato da utilizzare come portafoto. Ofelia, Spera e Vanitas rappresentano, ante litteram, un progetto di trasformazione in grado di restituire una nuova raffinata estetica ai residui industriali.

Poltronova renews its synergy with Elle Decor, once again crossing the threshold of Palazzo Bovara for the ‘Material Home’ exhibition curated by Elisa Ossino Studio.
.
During the Milano Design Week 2024, Elle Decor Italia tackles the theme of material in a synthetic and sensory journey that leads the visitor room by room through abstract installations and spatial suggestions. 
.
SOFT
Fabrics and upholstery take shape in surprising sculptural elements. In the bedroom space, the Ultrafragola and Vanitas mirrors, the Mies armchair, and the Canton bench mark the perimeter of the room, where geometries merge seamlessly to create a “smooth” effect.

🖼 Ofelia, Spera and Vanitas
Small mirror and photo holder designed by Superstudio
.
This series of small mirrors and a photo holder by Superstudio began with the idea of using scraps from the processing of marble. An operation of bricolage, rather than creation, as the Florence-based group stated at the time.
Careful milling of the irregular marble pieces makes them become the precious support for a mirror and for two sheets of methacrylate to use as photo frames. Ofelia, Spera and Vanitas, ahead of their time, represent a project of transformation capable of granting a new, refined aesthetic to industrial scrap.
