Fabrica will participate with the installation Imaginaires at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF) of New York.
A large table will host natural, surreal landscapes in which simple, handmade ceramic pieces representing the plant world and sophisticated blown-glass objects will merge with electric systems to create a new perspective of reality. Thus, an electric plug generates leaves or flowers, or a cabbage becomes an integral part of an interactive clock (www.exquisiteclock.org) in which the numbers meet in nature. New York’s extraordinary skyline provides the perfect backdrop for Fabrica’s young artist-researcher’s inspired design vision.
