FABRICA AT TOOLSGALERIE

Fabrica has been invited by the ToolsGalerie to present, for the first time in Paris, its latest home collections. A large table will host natural, surreal landscapes in which sophisticated blown-glass objects - This&That - and simple, handmade ceramic pieces representing the plant world - Imaginaires - will merge with drawn electric systems to create a new perspective of reality.

 

This&That is a collection of ten glass bells created by Fabrica’s young designers, from an idea by Tak Cheung. Produced by Secondome, each piece combines everyday items, such as a bicycle handlebar, a chimney or cow ears, with the sophisticated beauty of blown glass. Different materials and production processes merge harmoniously to create a new, provocative synergy.

 

Imaginaires is a collection of ceramics produced by Olfaire re-inventing one of the best Portuguese traditions through a contemporary vision of the old "savoir-faire". Presented last May at the New Museum in New York, the collection consists of 15 limited-production objects and merges details of a long tradition of nature-inspired shapes with classic vases and tableware pieces.

Both collections are in limited edition and can be purchased in ToolsGalerie from November 5th, 2009. 

 

ToolsGalerie was created in 2003 as a venue for research and convergence exclusively dedicated to contemporary designers, to promote their work and diffuse it to specialist collectors and to a wider audience, through meetings with designers from different creative horizons and an approach of a field where borders are not clearly defined. ToolsGalerie works with established designers, as well as discovering and promoting new talents, with exhibitions devoted to individual artists or themes.
The gallery’s director Loïc Bigot has recently obtained the 2009 “Designer's Days pour la Promotion du Design” Award.

Claudia Pignatale, Italian architect, thought-up and set-up Secondome, a design gallery and a concept store that now becomes a brand. Born in 2006, Secondome headquarter is located inside Palazzo Scapucci, also known as “Palazzo della Scimmia”, in the centre of Rome. Dually identifiable as a gallery and showroom, this unique space presents a very exciting selection of contemporary design. The best in international design is shown in the gallery and theme exhibitions are renewed every two months. This character marks the important rule that Secondome has: bringing international design to Rome and exporting Italian design and Italian creativity in the world.
