POESIS MATERIAE: ZAHA HADID DESIGN CREATES THE NEW IRIS CERAMICA GROUP INSTALLATION IN PIAZZA DEI MERCANTI.
The installation focuses on the fluid forms of ceramics, emphasizing its strength and subtle beauty for an aware design culture.
Zaha Hadid Design has interpreted Iris Ceramica Group’s natural ceramic elements to create an installation which brings matter to the centre stage by expressing strength and versatility in a unique and unmistakeable design. The installation ideally entails the sense of movement of water waves - it showcases a modern alternative to conventional ways to see ceramic by merging traditional procedures of standardisation with the non-orthogonal, fluid lines of the design.
Aligning with "Materia Natura" – the theme of Fuorisalone 2024 which supports a more aware design culture and promotes sustainability as guiding principle and fundamental value in any creative process - the design by ZHD highlights the large potential of ceramic as a medium for fluid and sinuous designs.
The concept ideally describes a landscape, featuring a series of paths informed – a celebration of ingenuity, spontaneity and, above all, durability and sustainability of ceramics.
