Interior: Paola Navone for Alcantara® Design Museum
ArchiveMay 2009Alcantara S.p.A. presented the Alcantara® Design Museum at Superstudio Più in the Tortona district during Design Week 2009.
Carlo Colombo with Poliform, Rodolfo Dordoni with Roda, Piero Lissoni with Living Divani, Matteo Thun and Antonio Rodriguez with Matteo Thun & Partners, Paola Navone with Gervasoni, Philippe Nigro with Ligne Roset, Fabio Novembre with Cappellini, Patricia Urquiola with Moroso: these are the extraordinary interpreters invited by Alcantara® to express the versatility of the material.
Here's why Paola Navone choose Alcantara®:
“I like to experiment. Materials, forms, effects. I am very curious and sensitive
to the feel of touch. Working with Alcantara® is a real sensorial experience.
Working with Giulio Cappellini, an adventure. As a designer, I try to project
friendly objects. I would like that who buys my objects would appropriate them:
by destroying them, painting them, sewing buttons… In order to get a unique
object, non-repeatable. This exercise was possible with Alcantara®, which,
from plain colour covering material, can be transformed into a printed surface
as a wallpaper as well as into a perforated hardy piece”.
