...naturally audacious in its latticework,
which resembles precious lace, skillfully
constructed to evoke ancient historical scrolls
but with a contemporary anarchic lightness,
Gothik A is a collector’s piece,
created by Ferruccio Laviani particularly
inspired. It interweaves voids and
memories, utopias and reality:
corporate realities in which wood plays such
an authoritative role that it gives the story
the poetic filigree of a fairy tale.
The creative collaboration with the
company in the piece makes the material
a living exercise ground, lightening it to
the point of making it a sign, in a subtle light
where shadows are barely discernible,
but it does not stifle, rather elevates,
the desire for that thread of material,
in following its intrigue and course.
The circularity of being is the end,
in the satisfaction of the senses,
for a “beauty” that arises from close
encounters that seemed impossible.
