Material Poetics

N.42 of September 29th, 2016

Cristina Morozzi

Editorial by

Gaetano Pesce, an Italian architect and designer living in new York, continues to believe that materials, “already carry their ideal natural form in their DNA”. More than imposing arbitrary shapes, design should identify which are coherent to the characteristics of the selected materials, taking into consideration that some are more ductile than others. Plastic, for example, can assume many different forms. We have chosen a selection of projects made from natural materials, a selection that exhibits artisan talent in manipulating even inflexible elements.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
