VICINI
"Everything is more than the sum of the single parts" is the maximum par excellence of Gestalt psychology. With this in mind, rather than a product I wanted to develop a design method. The individual parts are composed of different materials (stones, marbles, woods, resins, metals), the shapes and finishes that they can take. The "everything" is the result that thanks to the customization component acquires a unique value. Taking inspiration from the graphic works of M. Morandini, F. Grignani and M. C. Escher, I developed patterns composed of geometric shapes that, seen in their entirety, can take three-dimensional shapes.
The project was born from the close collaboration with a skilled craftsman of wooden floors and a leading company in the processing of marble and stone. I wanted to reinterpret the classic concept of inlay, turn static geometries into soft patterns. Finally, by combining the materials with different finishes it is possible to obtain a three-dimensional effect.
