Design Week 2022

• DESCRIPTION

  Metal-morphosis is the collection of a unique series of artistic plates in copper, brass, calamine, oxidized steel with infinite and sometimes indefinite colors, with textures in which inspirations, emotions, meanings converge: works of art. At Design Week 2022, the Water concept of the dOT in Brera was interpreted by Planium through the tactile and sensory characteristics that metal generates with its synaesthetic references, like a liquid (like water). From a scenographic point of view, there were two pillars of the exhibition, which distinguished the brand among the various installations.

  By Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman the design of the lunar gallery paved and clad in oxidized Stainless Steel inspired by selenic cartography has given great charm, making it a real perspective scenario, but also of transit. With its chromatic nuances in shades of gray, this “precious casket” has left subjective perceptions in everyone, also referring to its own dimension of space and time.

  WAVE11, made up of almost 200 finely worked oxidized brass and copper sheets, represented of this the figurative sense in what Maurizio Galante describes as follows:
  Time and Energy are the fundamental factors in this experimental project, a project that tends to tell the transformation by fixing its moment ... what the Japanese call 'MU', a moment so close to nothing that it becomes everything.

  The work is then linked to water through the theme of the wave. An artistic creation with a strong golden accent and in open contrast with the colors of steel. Particular was also the emphasis given to the "exit" path from the gallery, with front frame LED lights and studied as in a photographic set. The installation wanted to resume the perspective sequence of the colonnade of the loggia in which it was exhibited, with a structure consisting of 8 consecutive portals of increasing size, through which the light filters in an emotional way, through luminous cuts of 2 cm.

  Also part of the new Metal-morphosis collection are the MAVI Calypso Tapestries by Işıl Çağatay: oxidations of copper and brass that are inspired by Mediterranean marine colors and cartographic maps of the planet. Blue or coppery streaks with pale yellow, green, blue, brown, brown inserts linked to the colors of the earth. These “canvases” accompanied the Planium stand sideways, exalting themselves with their bright colors especially after sunset.                                                                                                  Once I have determined the technique I apply, I let the slabs be free to naturally oxidize and only then do I intervene to highlight and interpret some points, some shapes and shades. It is always a discovery how to find objects at the bottom of the sea that become small treasures in the light of the sun.
