Little Nature. Little Nature is the name of the four miniature landscapes shown at the Spazio Rossana Orlandi designed by Aldo Cibic with Cristiano Urban and made by De Castelli. “There is always a pleasure, almost infantile, when I see realized these objects in which a small but intense piece of nature is inserted into a landscape in miniature, designed and constructed rationally. It is interesting the type of feeling that this composition produces because it is as if it creates a suspension, a tension, a fleeting reflection that for a moment carries you away with it.” Explained Cibic.
