The result of research presented at the Fuorisalone 2024, combining the ornamental and crafted allure of pearls and embroidery with the minimalist and contemporary character of aluminium structures: a game of contrasts that brings out the refinement of the materials and the purity of forms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>

Habitus is a collection that stems from a design approach based on research and experimentation, telling a story of absolute creative freedom.<\/strong> Derived from the research project of the same name presented during Fuorisalone 2024 with Andrea Anastasio, Habitus has been developed by freely moving in the space of possibilities between idea and product, without the typical limitations associated with industrial production.<\/p>\n

To produce this collection Foscarini has collaborated with the artist and designer Andrea Anastasio, and with Arun Jothi and Natalie Frost, the creatives of the atelier Amal<\/strong>, with workshops in Mumbai and Rome, specialized in the creation of handmade embroidery for haute couture.<\/p>\n

The Habitus research has produced two items that have entered the catalogue: a wall lamp and a floor lamp<\/strong>, in which the ornamental and artisanal value of multicoloured beads in warm, lively hues meets the contemporary minimalism of the aluminium structure on which they are placed. The LED light source brings out the material charm and slight imperfection of the glass beads that cover the structures inside, transforming them into evocative luminous signs in space.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>

\n

Andrea Anastasio spans the exploration of ancient cultures to the boundaries of contemporary art and design. Fascinated by the study of the poetics of conceptual art and its potential convergences with industrial design, his research focuses on the manipulation of objects, consumer goods, and domestic materials, aiming to generate crossovers of languages and meanings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

“Embroidery can be described as an ancient language, capable of constantly renewing itself to generate wonder and thought. Habitus puts the focus on this handicraft whose origins date back to remote times. The modular character of the architecture that underpins embroidery and the reiteration of the gestures of the maker form the basis for this project, seen as a way of dressing light and summoning it to emphasize the rich heritage of these gestures, refined across countless layers of time.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

New light ideas<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n

At the centre there is a contemporary reinterpretation of a grand archetype: the chandelier<\/em>, reinvented with forceful, distinctive design visions. Innovation is also achieved through experimentation with unusual materials like molten lava, and unexpected combinations such as that of embroidery in glass beads with light.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n
