Variations on the umbrella How to turn an environmentally
It is called transformation and is the second time of things. Lies in the philosophy of creative recycling, in a theory of "not nice what is beautiful, but it's nice what is useful". How useful is reused to make the land more light rejection. What you throw away can become even butterfly to hang at home. Article by design, starting from the survey of elements already experienced, it gives birth to number two. And by happy fate, reborn butterfly, "Mariposa", by artist Silvia Locci that leaves her "fly" at T-Hotel Cagliari in the exhibition "Umbrella T rediscover", up to May 13, admission is free.
In the draft Gianluca Melis and Tatjana GOX (who also designed the T fitting together plotting and Art) creatives meet for a rereading of the object. Handle materials leads to cinematic inspirations, the interpretation of the designers that Tim Burton characters to forge umbrellas, joyful in dark clouds.
Raincover upside accommodate one hundred percent natural vegetable gardens, creating Edilana-fold from Sardinian Ortolana & Design. Eco-sustainability as a password. Other ecosystem that proposed by Chiara Balasini Galici and Karim, a city umbrella aware of necessary openings. What often protects island, while the wire passes the defense let in light and vitality flora.

And kissed algae from the frame, because the hands of Gianna Puggioni and Riri Murtas have already touched sea water, in a quest to recover the environment. As evidence, the interesting sculpture that celebrates the marriage between land and ocean in the encounter between urchin rain and hippocampus plant. And that maybe deserved a better placement in the areas of exposure, although close to the indoor pool, probably - in the good intentions - to evoke the sea.
The cloth of the umbrella becomes impermeable Bertula reinterpreting tailored Franco Casu. And yet to wear protection in the refined choice of John Ottonello. Or fall victim to mutations, chromosomal aberrations becoming applied to the design idea of R03;R03;Salvatore Aresu. Or fly off, however, nell'airone Michele Zucca. The colored objects that fill the streets wet with rain revived in fashion and design. The important thing, when it rains - metaphorically or not - is de-contextualize. Obey the aesthetics of the new metropolis, one that rebuilds use after use.
