Fuksas object

This companion book to Fuksas Buildings features the works by the studio focused on product design, interior design, scenographies, furniture and jewelry. Perhaps the less known aspect of Fuksas work, their product design emphasizes a natural condition in changing scales, materials and uses. Research is also very present behind every piece. Richly illustrated projects such as the Armani stores, the Alessi collection and the furniture for Haworth Castelli, among many others.
"I would like to start by observing how the design made in the Fuksas office takes its character from combining and contrasting two distinct types of poetic expression: abstract and narrative in Doriana Mandrelli's approach, and intuitive and textural in Massimiliano's. Brought into contact, these two all-encompassing means of seduction produce a world of objects that are autonomous and original, when compared to the standard procedure ingrained in the logic of Italian design.
Mandrelli and Fuksas's design originates in the collision and encounter between two forces that have entered the design profession from experiences far removed from design, and it is precisely this procedural unconventionality that lends the objects their character." Alessandro Mendini (text from the book)
