FRAGILE - PERSPECTIVA

Fragile, which has long been committed to the promotion of contemporary design, becomes a showcase for a series of original projects which combine functionality with an aesthetic characterised by vivid shapes and colours and carefully selected materials, which are no longer a medium but elevated to the status of the very fulcrum of the design. These objects combine skilled craftsmanship with advanced production technologies, creating a link between  the past and the future which encompasses the work of all  of the designers shown, despite their different histories and origins. Fragile’s collections are made up of mass-produced designs or limited editions, in which unique craftsmanship  and the personality of the material determine one-off pieces. These objects are intended not just for collectors and experts but also for a curious and enthusiastic public who love to see some “flair”. The collection ranges from the Earthquake Carpets designed by Alessandro Mendini for Joseph Carini Carpets, to the new table Sinapsi and Intreccio designed by Paolo Portoghesi for Matrix International, to Marco Zanuso’s Atlantide Lamp, to Columbian designer Ricardo Laverde’s wall-mounted and table light sculptures in plexiglass, to Pierfrancesco Cravel’s bathroom furnishings in marble, onyx or rare stone, combined with silver, brass or other metals, to Marzio Rusconi Clerici’s furnishings and lamps in thermoformed methacrylate to the marble furniture with metal backs and copper and brass finishes produced with sophisticated cutting techniques by Roberto Giacomucci.
