Noli Me Tangere, named after a series of tables presented for the first time during Fuorisalone 2016 as protagonist of the installation.

The work of Emma Scolari starts from the concept of the unique object. The formal research and the study of the materials, essential in the design phase and based on the need of personalization, part of each product.

A sheet of marble of the dimensions of 180 x 80 cm, split in the middle and mounted on a powder varnished steel frame, forms two surfaces that almost touch in the middle, creating a space to pass your fingers through and, following the natural crack of the material, will illuminate the gap thanks to LED lighting connected to an integrated movement sensor.

A wooden box in natural poplar of 5 by 5 metres and 3 metres high, entirely black, forms the setting for the tables Noli MeTangere, presented in three different types of marble of pure colour - crystal white, all black and red Persian travertine – to remind the ancestral nature of the material. To complete the installation a subtle fissure in the ceiling lets in a blade of light to recall the luminous split of the tables. On the back wall, a video projection of a silent sky by night, suddenly illuminated and pierced by lightning and thunder, evokes the energy and celestial beauty of an instant, a flash of light, caught and told by the marbles of Noli Me Tangere.

 

With this installation, Emma Scolari illustrates the genesis and development of her design process in close contact with the material and the phases of manufacturing of each product, which is at the same time a functional object of Design, but preserving the artistic value of the unique piece, where form and substance coincide and foster each other.
