Alessandro Mendini
– Granada – Louisiana - Ferrara
“Ferrara, Granada, Louisiana are
mosaic patterns based on three decorative motifs with geographic references to
specific cultures. The three designs and their colours are clearly reminiscent
of Italian, Arab and Nordic atmospheres and rhythms. All signs originate from a
classical idea of the ornament”

Ferruccio Laviani
– Arzigogolo – Albert Yellow – George Grey
“The two collections have very
different references: the first one has the typical Post Deco graphic sign of
the 30’s and 40’s, something between André Arbus and the early Gio Ponti. The
second collection is inspired by the weaving of fabric, that, because of his
structure made of weft and warp, is very similar to the grid of a mosaic.”
Ferruccio Laviani
