Colors

For FuoriSalone 2016, Barovier&Toso and Paola Navone will be together again for a visionary project that explores the many colors of glass in an imaginary voyage through different cultures and landscapes.

In the almost 1000 square meters of the Daylight space at Superstudio Più on Via Tortona, “travelers” will be welcomed to a village of six large yurts (each for a specific color), where magical, fascinating moods take form in an engaging, amazing experience.

Colors is a representation of the cosmos in all its aspects, a tribute to the virtues of glass and its evocative power: the visit to each yurt will be like entering a different corner of the world, penetrating its secrets and atmospheres. And there’s more: the installation will also be an homage to the flexibility of glass, an extraordinary material that influences and is influenced by the cultures with which it comes into contact and embodies them, adapting to every era, every custom, every fashion.

Alongside some of the most iconic creations of Barovier&Toso, custom pieces will be made, generated by the breakdown and reassembly of catalogue chandeliers reinterpreted and remixed in a new way with colors ranging from the most traditional to the least conventional.

Once again, the synergy between the Murano-based company and Paola Navone will be able to enchant us and transport us to faraway places of extraordinary beauty, as only the glass of Barovier&Toso is capable of doing.
