ZAHA HADID FOR ALESSI: WHEN ARCHITECTURE ARRIVES AT OUR TABLES

Can architecture, and art in general, enter our homes and transform ordinary objects, such as a sugar pot or a cheese grater?
If you look at Zaha Hadid’s works there’s no doubt about it, and if you look at the objects presented by Alessi at the Salone del Mobile di Milano 2017, the answer is yes.
“Forma” (Shape) is one of the last projects of product design created by Zaha Hadid for Alessi, presented in Milan at Fuorisalone 2017.

The occasion to celebrate the work of the Iraqi architect, died in 2016, but also the chance to commemorate the long collaboration with Alessi, has led to the creation of real household architecture.

GARDENS TO SEE IN ITALY: 5 ITALIAN GARDENS TO VISIT IN SPRING

Gardens to see. In my blog I often write about Italy, museums, villas and castles surrounded by large parks.
If there’s one thing I do love doing when beautiful days arrive and the air becomes warmer, it’s discovering gardens, those gardens where you can sit on the grass or where you can be catapulted back in time and relive ancient stories.

If you have already visited at least one of these gardens, you know what I mean.
On the contrary, if you have never entered one of these gardens, you’d better look into your agenda and leave as soon as you have a weekend off.
I made a list of the 5 Italian gardens you must visit.

Inaugurazioni tutti i giorni e ad ogni ora del giorno, aperitivi, feste, mostre, artisti da intervistare, curatori che si fanno fotografare e una marea di cose da vedere e raccontare.

Però mi piace e in un certo senso “i giorni della Biennale Arte” sono i più entusiasmanti della mia vita da Art blogger 🙂

E sempre parlando di cosa mi piace ecco qui un video in cui, forse per la prima volta, vi parlo di me e di cosa leggo, guardo e ascolto.
