Craft & Entertainment: Homo Faber 2024 Is Inaugurated in Venice.

It’s a matter of balance and weight. Designing a temporary installation means, on the one hand, taking responsibility for the permanent design of a temporary event, and on the other hand, skillfully maneuvering between three variables: the hosting venue, with its character and configuration; the items to be exhibited, with their own visual and spatial qualities; and the system used to showcase the works, with its own expressive and design scope. Every time, there’s a precise and personal alchemy of possible accentuations to present that complement the context, respect the works, and express a concept. In this sense, the room for Love, understood as Courtship, appears most successful, housing — with the same exhibition mechanism, regardless of the value of the objects — flowers and jewelry made from various materials. The design exercise focuses on the creation of a forest inhabited by different vitrines recalling solutions from the 1950s and 1960s — though not as light and innovative — designed by Luciano Baldesseri, Carlo Scarpa and BBPR.
