(en) / A distinctive moment emerges each time exceptional
craftsmanship aligns with the project: the moment when
excellence starts to signify enhancement through reduction.
It is then that vision is enhanced, volumes defy gravity, forms
become signage. And what is the signage, if not the prelude to
the icon?
Whether consciously or unconsciously, we are all
in pursuit of a beginning, known as an archetype. Chasing
an archetype involves understanding how to disentangle
the world's complexity, methodically simplifying it until it
transforms into a graphic form, essentially signage. Much like
Benjamin Button, we are born old and depart as children.
Unfolding, the new chapter in the story of Carpanese
Home, depicts the masterful journey towards synthesis of an
individual who, after delving into the elemental interaction with
material, elevates that material to engage in a more enthralling
pursuit: transforming an object into a medium, its form into an
aura, its volume into a code. Ultimately, to create a statement,
an accent piece of the domestic landscape that retains both
sense and significance. After all, Unfolding means to reveal, to
open up. And so, inevitably, to tell: to explain oneself, in the
double meaning of someone who explains oneself and, little
by little, unfolds.
At no time in history has the pursuit of form resembled
the art of dowsing as it does now. Form is not a science, yet it
is more than simply a matter of taste: exploring form entails
a detailed and committed approach akin to listening intently
to the earth, in search of something rare and necessary to
reveal, unfold, explain. Carpanese Home finds its essence in the
harmony of inviting and gentle designer forms, embodying
a generosity that encourages one to look to the future with
optimism and to return to a time when making space and
explaining genuinely meant aiming for the stars.
The pieces in the Unfolding collection convey
a clear and unmistakable message: there is still a way to turn
chatter into dialogue, noise into sound, an interior space into
a screenplay, contact into intimacy, and the future into
a promise.
