“A chair is a chair is a chair ”
Saba + Antonio Marras x Salvioni
“A chair is a chair is a chair ” is a site-specific installation designed
by Antonio Marras in collaboration with Saba for Salvioni Milano
Durini and inaugurated Thursday February 13th. An invitation
to conceive a space where people can interact with objects in a
unique way.
The “faces” of Antonio Marras accompany the visitors through
an imaginary journey of discovery, symbol of harmony between
company, artist and space, but also of a certain lightness and color
poetry, distinctive traits of Saba and the artist.
Through this project the idea of the lack of boundaries is explored,
a characteristic of the contemporary world where the unfinished
allows for freedom of transformation and it can all be synthesized
in the word dream. The dream as an element of synthesis of the
infinite possibilities of contemporary living.
During the opening night the store simultaneously transforms
into an intimate site and public space, a cinema and a theatre.
Marras and Saba in collaboration with Marco Angelilli, stage a
theatric scene loosely based on the film “Gruppo di famiglia di un
Interno” by Luchino Visconti. Upon their arrival to discover “A
chair is a chair is a chair ”, the public transforms into an audience
between a living room and a bedroom, where Ferdinando Bruni-
Burt Lancaster reads poems that envelop the unexpected “mènage
à trois” with romanticism.
