Bolon’s ecodus becomes woven under the fantastic migration

Every year, Milan Designer Sunday It becomes a gate for a fantastic land in which design, belief and material experimenting collide. The city turns into a fever of dreams of sensitive installations, and every lines blurring between reality and imagination, art and functions. In this landscape similar to sleep, the Swedish brand is woven design BolonIn cooperation with multidisciplinary designers Luca Nichetto and Joann Tandiscovered Exit – Theater installation that remagters Bolon’s floor as a surreal journey of texture and transformation.

Appointed within a historic Milan house that was once operated as a textile factory, Exit found himself in a custom home. Today, the building belongs to the, who now dreams of their fantastic works surrounded by original pike, frescoes and baroque blossoms. Much like her creative direction for window displays and fashion sets, Exit develops with careful details. “In the landscape, solo works was so much fun to create a duet,” says tanned. “While we work at different fields, Luka and I found a common basis in our mutual interest in the feast and monsters. It was a creative process that was a creative process, and Carte Blanche encouraged a lot from Bolon and great by great conversation and laughter.”

Using Bologle Climatic Nutral Municipal and Floor – made of 68% of waste material – Tan and Nichetto created anthropomorphic beings and sculptural landscapes that feel withdrawn from the parallel world. “Exit celebrates the art of meeting, changes, evolution; Two visions – Joann’s and mine – intertwining for the first time, thanks to Bolon, who made it possible, “says Nichetto.” The installation fully reflects my idea of ​​narration through objects and spaces, the possibility of expressing power and potential material and that something is deeply related to my work and provide him with life. “

The space is divided into two areas. One side invokes coastal forest, where Bologna woven surfaces grow organically from the country in rich textures. Records for legs and cancer-like creatures crawl over geometric floors, on their migrations. Segmented, the snake digit appears and disappears again – its slow movement resonates the creature that moves through the water.

The other side is transferred to ease. Here the essential shades and floating forms evoke dreamily calm. Flamingo-similar beings that are above and below, their elongated, puppet noses leading to visitors to the outside yard.

In his center, the pond becomes a vacation place for the winged snake – a mythical creature from Mexican folklore, which, accidentally, found his way into thin creation.

Although the installation stunned at first sight, its magic lives in detail. Bolon’s woven material is hand-cut with precision, and then folded and carved into wings, tails and torsos. The gold bars were bent in spindles of legs and antennas. Each element is a testament material mastery – and Bolon’s current mission “Transforming woven floors in an art form that mixes aesthetics with sustainability,” how I noticed Marie and Annica Eklund.

If there was ever any doubts that the floors could cross the floor, Exit She rests him to rest – proving that it’s a material, when she was driven, he can tell stories, shape, and to translate us somewhere brand new.
