Studio Lievito and
its versatile kitchen accessories Elementare has been selected by Triennale of
Milan to be part of Under 35. Italian Design, an overview, more than a simply
exhibition, on contemporary and Italian design on display in New Delhi during India
Design ID from 16 to 19 of February.
The exhibit through 100
works by 27 Under 35 Italian designers wants to underline how contemporary
design is to be found in a decidedly different model from the one that
dominated in the age of the ‘Masters’. In those days, design culture aimed to
create finished, functional products, whereas today – in what has in a certain
sense become a ‘mass profession’ – design generates processes more than
products, and appears primarily as a form of self-representation of the
designer’s ability to imagine, create and innovate.
Elementare is a perfect example of this new attitude. The marble kitchen
accessory acts as an invitation to experiment with food through many different
gestures. An object of real design
strictly related to that universe of food
which has seen ncreasing its role of social aggregator during the last
years.
