The curtain opens and the New Year lights up with sparkling lights, surprising performances and unexpected tricks. The show begins, with a special mood board that we have renamed Shakesphoria – 50% theater (evoked by the name of a giant, Shakespeare), 50% euphoria. And a hint of humility, because none of us dares to compete with the Bard’s genius. Starting with the chosen colors that are certainly not those of Macbeth.
We wanted cheerfulness and carefreeness and this is why for the double backdrop we chose a two-tone wallpaper with pipes and conduits, which seem to reveal to the public all that world behind the scenes that is usually hidden.
And then curtains and drapes that we have heavily employed to reveal the two different scenes that make up our trend. On the one hand, the dressing room with a designer vanity that evokes a pre-show atmosphere, a mix of elegance reinterpreted in a pop key. On the other hand, a golden sofa, an almost caricature throne that reigns in all its splendor.
Tubes & Pipes collection by Wall&decò, design Le Dictateur
To the right and left of our imaginary stage, two versions of the wallpaper from the Tubes & Pipes series, designed by Le Dictateur for Wall&decò: two color moods that define two “rooms”.
Sipario, Quarta Parete collection by Tecnografica
To welcome our imaginary audience we have added a sumptuous drape. Not velvet but wallpaper version: Sipario from the Quarta Parete collection by Tecnografica.
Plaza by Memphis, design Michael Graves
Prop Light by Moooi, design Bertjan Pot
A variety show that respects itself cannot do without its backstage and dressing rooms, where you can find the Plaza vanity signed by Michael Graves for Memphis and made of briar, lacquered wood, crystal, mirrors and brass.
The Prop Light floor lamp by Moooi designed by Bertjan Pot, with eighteen lamps mounted on a vertical support, evokes old stage technical lights.
Discovery collection by Artemide, design Ernesto Gismondi
Boccadoro by Gufram, design Studio 65
Ready to get noticed only when the curtain rises, the luminous circles of the Discovery collection designed by Ernesto Gismondi for Artemide are perfect for work environments, but also to illuminate a theatrical piece.
In every self-respecting living room there is always a central element. In our case, it is the Boccadoro sofa, a unique piece created by Gufram to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Studio 65 that designed it.
Vegaz collection by Seletti
Vegaz by Seletti is a collection that includes 27 luminous letters in lacquered metal, 60 cm high. We used four of them: they are the invitation ticket to our show.
Plissé by cc-tapis, design Cristina Celestino
Fortuny by Pallucco, design Mariano Fortuny
To create an even stronger impact we decided to cut, but only virtually, the Plissé carpet designed by Cristina Celestino for cc-tapis, hand-woven in Nepal. A twirling curtain that gives even more verve to our surreal set.
An open opera to always new interpretations, the Fortuny floor lamp by Pallucco designed in 1907 by Mariano Fortuny, was a revolution for the lighting world, experimenting an innovative indirect light system.
Sea Girl by Seletti, design Toiletpaper
La Vie by Slamp, design Adriano Rachele
Sea Girl, the wall mirror with Toiletpaper frame for Seletti, adds a flirtatious and eccentric touch to any space. Because “more is more”.
Like the delicate tutu of a dancer, the La Vie ceiling lamp by Slamp, designed by Adriano Rachele, is inspired by the Flower of Life, an ancient, mystical geometric pattern.
