Henge Book #19
Each of us lives in perfect balance between two
opposite poles, the need to stay, seeking stability, certainty
and reassurance, and the desire to leave, to overcome limits,
to go beyond any custom to constantly search for new stimuli.
Origins are never erased. It is essential, at least for a moment,
to turn back and look gratefully upon the work of the past
years, at the heads and hands that pursued the same goals,
recognizing and reconfirming the path. Despite a crazy race
behind you, it is finding that the signs of your passage, ideas,
concepts and objects remain, surviving the changing times
and fashions as if they were a premonition. Nevertheless, it
is a great privilege to look ahead, exploring the unexpected
and unsuspected, moving beyond national identities.
In various parts of the world, we see the living
environments that will welcome our products, sets that change
while tirelessly pursuing new combinations. On the one hand is
the interpretation of lifestyles, recognizing the functionalities
and evolution of taste, the sense, the application of design
thinking. On the other is the work researching more deeply
the great world of Italian craftsmanship, the sense of dexterity
and material potential. It is studying the enhancement of
nature where elements are inextricably linked to one another,
imbued with the typically Italian way of thinking that makes
us unique in the world.
