Seeing as the XXI Triennale di Milano is hosting the exhibition “Women in Italian Design”, curated by Silvana Annicchiarico and staged by Margherita Palli, which investigates a variety of heavenly creations, we felt it was our duty to speak about Cristina Celestino once again. Despite the fact that design has no gender, and instead, many masculine and feminine nuances complement one another, and others that remain ambiguous, the young design star exhibits a refined sensitivity that allows itself to be easily associated with femininity. Cristina began with interior design, and has progressively moved toward furniture and object design, each that exhibits her strong personal trademark. After having started to manufacture her own products, she continued her evolution by searching for collaborations with others working in the same field. This year, during design week, she showcased two collections. The first was a series of glass furniture with Tonelli, a company hailing from the Marche region, and the second, ceramic wall-coverings with BottegaNove. ‘Plumage’ is a three-dimensional mosaic made of ceramic and porcelain, printed with feathers, that lends a relief-effect to walls. The collection represents a return to applied decoration, not only for furniture and objects, but as in the past, to dress walls as well.
