19 photo: Enza Tamborra photo: Enza Tamborra A Charming Interplay Of Reflections Via Alemagna Milan The exhibition project originates from the client's specific requirement of creating an exhibition path beginning from water-reactive materials, constituting the past, the present and the future of the company Key materials, such as soda and bicarbonate, both representing the company's memory through its first one hundred years of history, are characterized by the fact that, when coming into contact with water, they react releasing a sequence of bubbles that appear on surface From this particular phenomenon arose the intention to create an imaginary space reproducing the idea of a big water container, streaked with a series of bubbles rising gradually from the bottom straight upwards This fictional landscape is created through a set of acrylic opaline discs, suspended in midair and set out along a progression thinning out upwards The whole lends the entire structure a strong dynamism, establishing at the same time a firm connection with lights photo: Enza Tamborra Project is public!
