Alda
Fendi and Raffaele Curi show how simple containers like houses can be transformed
into works of art, masterpieces of design and furnishing, while retaining
their residential context and artistic inspiration. Bang & Olufsen amplifiers
which envelop walls and ceilings, brightly colored chairs in compositions
inspired by Pop Art, using Parentesi lamps by Flos to illuminate rooms and
particular areas. From Milan to Capri, Alda Fendi's houses become permanent
installations. And the scenarios are the most beautiful views of the various
locations: Milan's famous gothic spires, the ROman Forum or the deep blue
sea, a continuous dialogue of art and beauty between interior and exterior
design.
