Antonacci Falegnamerie with Fabio Mazzeo Architects at Salone del Mobile 2024
In an era where authenticity and originality are emerging priorities in contemporary design, Antonacci Falegnamerie – with Fabio Mazzeo as Artistic Director – presented an unprecedented fusion of tradition and innovative design at the Salone del Mobile in Milan. This event marks the debut of “ANAMORPHOSIS – Revealing Beauty”, a testament to the art of tailor-made carpentry interpreted through an ultra-contemporary lens.
The “ANAMORPHOSIS – Revealing Beauty” concept showcased a reality where architects’ imagination takes shape in the skilled hands of Antonacci Falegnamerie artisans, a company with solid experience in wood processing and high-end contract furniture, to realize the most ambitious and personalized projects. The “ANAMORPHOSIS – Revealing Beauty” exhibition paid homage to “made in Italy,” to creative quality, attention to detail, manual skills, the heritage of experiences passed down through generations, and the ability to create a network of high-end artisans capable of tackling any challenge worldwide.
The close collaboration between Antonacci Falegnamerie and Fabio Mazzeo Architects has given rise in time to unique, complex, and intimately tailored creations. Therefore, the installation designed by Fabio Mazzeo is a vibrant new aesthetic experiment, a juxtaposition of deliberately dissonant compositional motifs, where contemporary fragmentation emerges from surfaces covered with rigorous classic boiserie in a counterpoint of materials, textures, and decorations that impress and captivate the gaze. Particular emphasis is on the evolved and precious finishes that Antonacci Falegnamerie achieves through the boldest design experiments.
An elaborate setup to welcome visitors, leading them into a bewildering kaleidoscope of colours and materials whose images bounce in the multiple reflections of mirrors (technical partner Geovetro) as if they were frames of the story of Antonacci Falegnamerie’s construction skills. Once again, Fabio Mazzeo created a unique scenography that incorporated all the components and functions of a space, going beyond mere architectural design to also conceive all the furnishings that animate it, through a play of formal references, chromatic contrasts, and mutable geometries.
The lighting was curated by Profili, an Italian company that combines tradition and design through innovative technologies, creating tailor-made and exclusive lighting pieces.
“ANAMORPHOSIS – Revealing Beauty”, a three-dimensional architectural creation featuring its bold and contemporary design, showcasing woodworking, from the most traditional to the most futuristic techniques. This project represented the exploration of new frontiers in architectural and interior design, offering a boundless vision for those seeking to stand out in an increasingly demanding market.
