NATURALIA
A world inhabited by fantastic animals and delicate blooms, the new collection of designer objects by Cristina Morozzi, signed by Fulvia Mendini and Elena Salmistraro.
Naturalia is a world inhabited by bizarre, colorful and amusing creatures, some the result of strange metamorphoses and combinations, others with a simple and delicate appearance.
Beings out of a dreamlike and ironic world together, come to life and make simple everyday objects special.
In the contemporary world dominated by uncertainties, Naturalia becomes an “other” space in which to find a new contact with an imaginative nature, a space open to our imagination.
“Eden and Symbols. A blue moon, a free heart, an iridescent butterfly, a mysterious golden key, two shining stars, a lucky ladybug, a magical beetle, a singing rooster, an enchanted dragonfly, a talking cricket, a queen bee, an enamelled parrot.
Here are the symbols that I drew like on a fairy’s cloak, for this collection of objects, a notebook, a notebook and a clutch bag.
For the scarf and bag, I thought of a kaleidoscopic trail of spatial flowers inside a luxuriant garden of Eden, a small flowery paradise with pistils in bright and delicate colours.”
Fulvia Mendini
“The overlapping of layers, of layers, of elements, just like in Native American totems, evocative and propitiatory symbols, or simple vector graphics experiments, amused me a lot and above all they helped me in defining the shapes and weights, generating surreal and mysterious beings.
Thus were born the FANTASTIC ANIMALS, Tomi, the great moth with horns in the shape of a toucan’s beak, frog’s legs and the body of a beetle, and Matoun, an oblong rabbit with the body of a mosquito, the wings of a fly, the nose of a wolf and the monkey eyes.
But there are many other references and forms that come together and give life to Tomi and Mato, it’s up to us to know how to find, research and unearth them but also, why not, to be inspired and smile.”
Elena Salmistraro
The personal stylistic code of the two artists makes classic figurative typologies special, such as animals and flowers, creating a collection that offers the surprise and value of something new.
