Giorgio De Vecchi, Giulia Di Lenarda
Jagged and pierced, the chrome-plated liquid surface of the coffee tables extends itself, a play of mirror that reflects the surrounding world. A careful observation reveals more than a mere reflection: a heterotopia transports onto the surface the geological memory of the mountain landscape, the lakes constellation that punctuates the Alpine arc. Each lake is given a number, an indication of the altitude that sets it in relation to the sea, an indication of the logic concatenation that runs through the water cycle – within which architecture becomes a link.
