BEAUTY CENTER

1995

The Beauty Center was located near the countryside, with a garden at the entrance. Making the external environment interpenetrate with the interior was the first thought around which to develop the project. Inserting naturalist elements that recalled the landscape and the fluidity of the water that with its continuous flow rounds the shapes, the Liberty naturalism and the decorations of Gustav Klimt were the basic concepts on which to create the furniture.

Water as well as being a fundamental material for the type of work that took place there and the surrounding nature, is also the very symbol of transparency and purity, so much so that it was present at the birth of Venus.

The client chose the ivory tones for the walls to match the parquet flooring, and it was decided to use wood and its warmth as the dominant material.

To increase the graphic possibilities of the material, I worked mainly with multilayer of different woods, exploiting the lines of the edges of the panels. The various types of wood and its derivatives used have enriched the variety of textures and shapes that unfold abstractly as geometries of: cultivated fields, river stones, hills, clearings, fleeting clouds, the sensation of a material in continuous movement crosses all objects.

This process also offered the advantage of being able to use low-cost and recycled material: having to create sculptural forms I did not need large-format panels, so I was able to use the seller's scraps from other works.
