IN COLLABORATION WITH “ABITARE IL TEMPO”
EXHIBITION HALL 7B
Coordinated by Luca Scacchetti and Stefano Calchi Novati
Emilio Salgari was born near Verona. He dreamed about exotic lands and adventures - travelling merely with his own imagination and talent to send his voice and stories all over the world.As a fine author, Salgari knew how to combine to great effect fantasy and free creativity with research, analysis and pure craftsmanship in the construction of his stories, characters and settings. This exhibition, once again, sees Veronese companies called upon to merge their ancient craftsmanship and quality with the suggestions of contemporary design - even from distant worlds - while always highlighting the richness of local traditions.
This dialectical exchange between local and international realities mimics Salgari's dreams and travels through actual and productive processes. The positive results of last year's edition have culminated in the definition of an even more detailed project that superbly highlights the significant production capabilities of the companies involved: the challenge was to create a full-scale catalogue for the complex contemporary contract market by focusing on the high-end of the market through high-level products, both in terms of quality and in the variety of design. Two suites, a home theatre, a fitness area, a lounge bar, a reception - detailed spaces in terms of both materials and design, which clearly demonstrate the infinite and multiple productive capabilities and the various facets of a local territorial quality, that is evident through its extension and abundance.
The exhibition is organised in collaboration with Abitare il Tempo, and thanks to a contribution from Verona Chamber of Commerce.
