"SCACCO MATTO" - "CHECK MATE" Multicolored Silicone Furnishings by Alessandro Ciffo EDIZIONI DILMOS "Paso Doble between Ciffo and silicone" by CLARA MANTICA With each forward step, the past is brought to a synthesis with ingenious surprise. Unforced, it is the offspring of a natural evolution born of a fluid dialogue between creativity and materials. Ciffo always delivers with facts and if this is where he has us now, soon he will surely takes beyond. Of his check mate, the designer says: "I blend design with painting, painting with volumes, the inflexibility of corners with the softness of the material and of gestures. It is the natural progression down the path I took last year with the "solidi molli" where silicone defies and then designs volumes, ultimately satisfying the need for function: an armchair, a cupboard, a chest, a table or a desk. As it both challenges and softens those overly rigid theories that hinder the processes of evolution, silicone, in the end, puts all under check mate".
