BUT WHERE HAVE THE INVENTORS GONE? LORENZO DAMIANI |

Lorenzo Damiani / Piega / 2007 / SELF-PRODUCTION |
Handle made out of chrome-plated brass pipe by mechanical bending. Part of a set that includes a bar; 14 x 6 cm. With the «Piega» («Bend») handle Damiani emphasizes the poetics of the gesture, visualizing in the object the «effort» made to bend the pipe. The «squashed» profile that derives from this, usually considered a defect, is assumed as the object's aesthetically characteristic element. In addition, the form that is «automatically» generated turns out to be just right for the positioning of the thumb on the grip. |
