That part of the world that photographers have always omitted from the lens, the other side of the visible, the entirety of what surrounds us: here us what the young artist Pietro Pasolini decides to immortalize, revolutionizing the way in which the spaces we live in are being depicted. Architecture and nature, historical squares and uncontaminated landscapes become scenic of total inclusion, thanks to the use of mirrored geometrical forms especially created and placed by the artist to portray more perspectives. the absence of human presence instigates a sense of deep calmness, characteristic of Pasolini's shoots.

ISLAM+COSMOPOLITAN. CONVERSATION BETWEEN ISLAM AND DESIGN - COLLECTIVE

An initiative of Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq). Curated by Khalid Shafar and Giuseppe Moscatello.
The extraordinary exhibition Islamopolitan arrives from Sharjah, the small emirate to the east of Dubai that was chosen as Islamic Cultural Capital of 2014. Islamopolitan (Islam+Cosmopolitan) is a word coined for this exhibition, which sets out to examine multiculturalism and diversity as well as the need to respect the general context. An ironic approach encourages the local and the global in their philosophies and at the same time explores the tensions between the two worlds. The structure of work and daily life, religion, architecture, rituals and decoration have been interpreted in relation to the present day. Designers of twelve different nationalities present works that take a contemporary look at the rituals of an ancient culture, through the media of furniture, jewellery, photography, video, art, installations, objects, upholstery, carpets, fashion, ceramics and sound. Islamopolitan is a travelling exhibition making its first visit to Europe:
after Sharjah and Istanbul, it will be in Milan for Design Week and for the opening of Expo 2015, from 14 April to 14 May.

Jan Kath, great German designer, is considered avant-garde of the modern carpet eld. Every single creation is a visual and sensorial experience, a real work of art. Kath blends classic elements of oriental carpets with contemporary and minimalist design and at the same time opens new roads, looking back to origins. Spacecrafted, carpets from another world, narrates endless sweeps, faraway galaxies, and unimaginable depth unattainable by human genus, reminiscent of moon landscapes. This collection won the Wallpaper Design Award 2015. Erased Heritage is homage to oriental traditional carpets yet in a brand new interpretation. An ancient, specifically elaborated production technique that delicately “erode” the surface of the carpets, to make them look as if they have been on an house floor for many generations.

When eclectic designers and artists seek in parallel ways to discover a means of bringing beauty into the home that is not obvious and banal. The works of Flavio Lucchini find analogies, correspondences and reflections in the one-off pieces or limited editions of Dilmos, an important Milanese gallery and publisher of extraordinary examples of art-design, or in the luminous sculpture of Slideart. As well as in the precious furnishings of piazzadispagna9, an original blend of gallery and boutique-hotel in the heart of Rome where art and design can be experienced for a short time or acquired for a permanent collection. The exhibition is completed by the visionary furniture of the Mamadorè-Expositore group of designers and the numbered and signed pieces made from solid wood by Hand Artis Fabrica. While the hand-made pieces of Tacloban Prevails use the wreckage left by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to tell a story of courage.
Curated by Gisella Borioli and Lella Valtorta.
With Daniele Papuli, Dilmos, Hand Artis Fabrica, Mamadorè-Expositore, piazzadispagna9, Slideart, Tacloban Prevails, Turelli Studio. Artist Flavio Lucchini.

Getting inspired by LG Hausys’ continuous innovation as well as by their versatility and performing quality of their materials, Wanders tells the story of the products endless possibilities and he does so through a downright sensory experience. Two opposite worlds, the rational and emotional zone, meet and HI-MACS® becomes a piece of art. Marcel Wanders, dubbed by The New York Times as “The Lady Gaga of Design” for his eclectic and never-ending creativity, says: “We have drawn up a space full of fantasy and surprise, where visitors can linger, enjoy and encounter the endless possibilities offered by the range of LG Hausys materials. We applied them in their full potential, from floor to wall, from covering to foil until we got unexpected and surprising results!”
