In 2003 designer Maurizio Galante teamed up with trend forecast analyst and designer
Tal Lancman, to form INTERWARE. Their crossover vision
transverses the different design disciplines, from fashion to furniture,
interiors, lights, food, architecture and gardening. As the duo moves freely
between disciplines, they revisit domains equipped with new understandings,
insights and observations. The process results in a multi-faceted concept, with a subtle
balance between the pragmatic
and the irrational. The team follows
all steps of design and production, from trend research, to all aspects of
marketing, including definition of brand image, strategy, communication,
packaging, and presentation.
Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman have curated
several design exhibitions, and in 2003
have been assigned design curators
for MUDAM, Museum of Modern Art
Grand–Duc Jean, Luxembourg, conceptualizing and collaborating on content
selection for the museum's store and restaurant, researching and collaborating
with artists, designers, and artisans, and developing installations for special
events.
Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman have presented
their work and installations at MUDAM Museum of Modern Art Grand-Duc
Jean, Luxembourg, Fondation Cartier pour
l’art Contemporain, Paris, MOMA
Museum of Modern Art, New-York, and Pitti
Immagine - Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
