In the archetypical shape of a dome appears a Roman decoration pattern that is historically connected with the Medusa mythological figure: radial mosaics frame the epic face of the marine goddesses’ daughter.
The pattern is developed over different layers hiding a LED lamp and reflecting the light through a delicate scheme of transparencies and colours.
The production process, which combines contemporary technologies and artisanal techniques, represents the relationship between past and present.

An object’s beauty and ability to quietly create a suggestive atmosphere without becoming invasive are elements, that together, stimulate creativity and favour inspiration.
The Slamp and Montblanc ‘overlay’ writing lamp’s highlight is the playful and very sensual design of the main light component. Hidden beneath the brass connection and the brushed copperflex® shade, its illumination acts upon the interaction between the innovative magnetic rest and any Montblanc writing instrument. When removed, the lamp automatically turns on and then turns off again when the pen has been placed back.

Looking-Glass is part of the project Doppia Firma, sponsored by yoox.com. A mirror, with a traditional oval shape, suddenly reflects the ghost of a room coming from the past. The transformation of the surface, from a glass mirror to a precious fabric, unveils the presence of an ancient wallpaper features.
Inspired to the William Morris’s drawing ‘Bird and Anemone’, the original decoration dates back to the end of ‘800 and is a rich pattern composed by leaves, anemones flowers and twitting little birds. The elaborated design is skilfully embroidered by master Pino Grasso using sparkling threads, glass and crystal beads on a silvery silk. They all present the same colour tone of the reflective surface, as if the mirror were dissolving into little pieces to tell a story.

The table is made in shaped, bent and engraved brass. The precious embroiderers worked on the traditional wooden frameworks with the sophisticated technique of the crochet (a needle with a hook at the end, diffused in the 19th century by the embroiderers of the French city of Lunéville); they applied the elements by working both on the recto, with needles of different sizes corresponding to the specific materials, and the verso, using the crochet.

ON AN EMPTY STOMACH
21 artists tackle the delicate and complex fasting issue.
A truly provocative theme for the year that EXPO 2015 will devote to food and sustainability and above all, an opportunity for unprecedented reflection trough the eyes of a selection of designers.
On an empty stomach does not only allude to luck of food it is actually a metaphor for emptiness. It refers to any kind of absence and fasting, to detraction, change, regeneration.
It is a call for challenging limits, for freeing yourself from the superfluous, and for pursuing the essence and the essential of all things. In the days of food, news and virtual connection bulimia. In the days of overfed and starving people and of those that can chose to have an empty stomach.
