this year again the brand Glix - sourcing from the creative inspiration of Paola Monorchio, fashion & jewelry designer - keeps punctually the appointment with the Fuori Salone. Always in line with her philosophy, Paola proposes an elaboration in cloth of geometric forms, which produce unexpected volumes and let themselves shape following the body’s lines. The project In-Pack-T will be on stage at the Sparkling event: an “origami” dress consisting of a single strip of cotton and raffia, a coat which can be composed by assembling different sections in pile and nylon. But also a jewel, which, by “decomposing” is transformed into a versatile ornament; at last an amusing straw hat, which will lose its geometric shape when modelled at pleasure on the head.

young and dynamic brand, with well-defined ideas and projects. From the cooperation
with architect and designer Filippo Ghezzani, rises the “H Line”, where exploring
and interpreting new architectural structural components, as IPE beams, give birth to new
house complements characterized by essential lines, for a new way of house interpretation.

to Hansa, “Experience water” is much more than a product’s philosophy; it is a strong feeling,
a real “experience” to be lived daily on your own skin through enhanced forms and materials,
open flows and scenic water layouts, as it is represented by Hansacanyon and Hansamurano.
In 2008, innovation, design, elegance and versatility keep on representing the strong bases
of the Group that presents new products such as Hansastela, Hansatwist, Hansaprado,
HansapradoClinica, Hansaclear, Hansapurejet, Hansacubeand Hansapublic.

the union and blend of creativity of the Patriarca sisters, Ilaria, an architect, and Sara,
an illustrator, is generating collections of furnishing complements where aesthetical
expressiveness and tactile experience enhance sensorial perceptions. This is Macmamau:
shape and technological research with the addition of a graphic world made of words,
signs, drawings. It concernes of wooden and steel structures coated with laminate,
painted, engraved, patinated... pieces conceived to add a touch of magic to everyday’s life.

after long experimentation and research of materials, shapes, colours and light sources,
designer Daniele Mazzoleni makes all his creations converge into the brand Neroacciaio.
Timeless collections, unique pieces numbered and handcrafted, in steel and resins,
which blend to give life to original pieces, where artistic uniqueness meets design.
A 2008 novelty presented at Sparkling : “Hot lamp collection… the sensuality of red”,

only allowed to glass.

attentive and sensitive to trends in fashion, design, art and contemporary architecture, Francesca Zoboli aims at articulating and organically integrating the decoration project
in space and environment. The studio she founded, L’O di Giotto, boasts of such customers
as Fratelli Rossetti and Kenzo. For the latter, in 2006, she designed and produced
decoration works intended for their new concept store in Paris. Francesca combines
the interior decorator activity with pictorial research, particularly applied to materials
assembly (among them, paper treated with various techniques, wax, and inks).

as a tribute to the global nature of this event, Cereria Pernici is going to present the project “Wax do you come from?”, an interactive installation that shows the skills of the company in adapting a craftmade tradition of more than a hundred years to the contemporary Zeitgeist, to create a space not made of mere promotion. On a big wax wall, it will be drawn a projection of the terrestrial globe, upon which each visitor will mark his own place of birth thanks to some special coloured markers: in this way the different composition of the visitors of the exhibition will be visually revealed, giving birth - through matter - to a particular form of “diary”. During The Fuori Salone Sparkling Event, a series of new limited edition candles will be presented.

Roberto Rovetta is a pure, rigorous, logical designer, essential in the forms and imaginative in finding functionality. His projects awaken a double vision, a double spirit, between imagination and geometric study, between poetry and mathematics. The passion for art and mechanics, always bring him to express a strong sense of ambivalence between the abstract and the concrete, giving every project a challenge to interpret and comprehend. The style, strong and decisive in his projects, naturally follows an individual path that takes one outside of the usual schemes, but always seems to find just the right setting.

graduated from the Accademia di Belle Arti with a degree in painting in 1988. She started to work designing women’s collections and she attempts to achieve a union between painting and style. She achieved the ultimate expression of this desire in textile design. Through the years she has refined her own unique painting technique directly on fabrics, which has allowed her to create a unique collection in which colors, styles and textiles meet. Her husband, Aurel K. Basedow is a German Artist whom has recently chosen to exalt  the potentialities of the resin strongly resorting to a picturesque expressivity.

her work is based on seeing interiors, sometimes her own, and translating elements of the interior into wallpaper which can then be re-introduced back into the room. Tracy supposes her wallpapers look so different because she’s not trying to mass-produce anything. She wants them to convey a strong idea but not to dominate the room so much that that there is not room for anything else. The wallpaper designs she produces are all starting points and can be changed to fit with the clients’ interior.

Furniture are usually made out of different components, which make them as a result fragile, very complex, labor intensive but also difficult to recycle. Jan Contreras was challenged to minimize the product material design of his objects without loss of esthetics, quality and functionality.
