FIGURE
design LPWK-Marcello Jori, LPWK-Massimo Giacon
Questa serie di “Figure”, statuine, oggetti senza funzione o come vogliamo
chiamarli, rende pubblica una direzione di ricerca sulla quale
per la verità abbiamo iniziato a lavorare dagli inizi degli anni ’90.
L’intento è di confrontarci con l’intrigante mondo delle figurine
in porcellana, in particolare con la raffinata tradizione produttiva
delle manifatture europee dal settecento in poi, evidentemente
a modo nostro e con autori contemporanei.
“Rappresentativa di un mondo magico,
la presenza discreta e simbolica del piccolo soprammobile è intesa come
feticcio ispiratore e consolatorio. Con questa collezione di statuine abbiamo
dato vita a una serie di piccoli interlocutori fedeli per i rituali narrativi e
immaginifici della nostra quotidianità.”
Laura Polinoro
This series of “Figure”, figurines, purposeless objects or whatever you want
to call them, are presented here together for the first time. Their study has
been going on since the 1990s. The goal is to compare the intriguing world
of porcelain figures, particularly the refined production tradition of European
manufacturers from the 18th century onwards, with our methods
and with contemporary designers.
“Representing a magical world, the discreet and symbolic presence of the
small ornament is seen as an inspiring, reassuring cult object. With this
collection of figures, we created a series of faithful little companions to
accompany our everyday rituals associated with stories and images.”
Laura Polinoro
Cette série de “Figure”, figurines, objets sans fonction ou quelque soit
le nom que nous voulons leur donner, rend publique une orientation de
recherche sur laquelle nous avions, à vrai dire, commencé à travailler
dans les années 90. Le but est de nous confronter au monde intriguant des
figurines en porcelaine et en particulier de celles issues de la tradition de
production raffinée des manufactures européennes à partir du dix-huitième
siècle, mais nous l’avons bien évidemment fait à notre façon
et avec des auteurs contemporains.
«Représentative d’un monde magique,
la présence discrète et symbolique du petit bibelot est considérée tel un
fétiche inspirateur et consolateur. Avec cette collection de statuettes, nous
avions donné naissance à une série de petits interlocuteurs fidèles pour les
rites narratifs et imaginatifs de notre quotidien.»
Laura Polinoro
Diese Serie „Figure“, kleine Figuren, bei denen es sich um Gegenstände
handelt, die, wenn man so möchte, keinen präzisen Verwendungszweck
haben, ist das konkrete Ergebnis einer Richtung, an der wir, um die Wahrheit
zu sagen, bereits seit Anfang der neunziger Jahre arbeiten. Dahinter steht die
Absicht, einem Vergleich mit der faszinierenden Welt der Porzellanfiguren
Stand zu halten. Insbesondere mit der eleganten Herstellungstradition
europäischer Manufakturen ab dem 18. Jahrhundert, selbstverständlich aber
auf unsere Weise und mit unseren zeitgenössischen Designern.
„Als Vertreter einer magischen Welt ist dieses kleine Zierstück in seiner
diskreten, symbolischen Präsenz als inspirierender, tröstlicher Fetisch
gedacht. Mit dieser Kollektion von Statuetten haben wir eine Reihe von
kleinen, treuen Gegenübern für die narrativen und bildnerischen Rituale
unseres Alltags geschaffen.“
