INTERNA_MENTE

INTERNA_MENTE, an installation with which Materica is participating in Milan Design Week 2023 for the first time, is an immersive experience through which the Venetian company describes its alchemical ability to transform matter with exciting and unexpected aesthetic effects. The work, with the design of Tiziano Guardini and Luigi Ciuffreda, will be exhibited in the spaces of Alcova in a former cold storage room that has now become an evocative capsule of mirrors.
The interior of the installation will be entirely covered with metallized MDF sheets, so as to be mirrored, and worked with ever-changing oxidation and coloration, thus creating a kaleidoscope of continuous refractions. The play of reflections, enriched by the multiple color effects, envelops the visitor by infinitely expanding and dilating the dimensions of the environment. It is an instantaneous disconnection from the rest of the world, the access to a suspended, intimate, and protected dimension, where you immediately encounter a mysterious figure that tells other aspects of Materica’s transformative ability. A form that seems to come from an indefinite horizon, molded in resinated polystyrene and totally metallized and mirrored like the entire installation. The metal wire follows its sinuosity and enhances its sculptural plasticity.

Materica is a company active in the world of design, architecture, and luxury. Its core business is metallization, i.e. the fusion of metal wires on different and heterogeneous surfaces. Thanks to its forty years of experience, it is recognized as an ideal partner and leader in metal coatings, thanks to which it enhances its customers’ objects with the quality and precision that have always distinguished it. Materica is also a unique reference for the complete realization of a project, since it is able to supply the finished product to its customers from a simple digital file.
