SODALIZI TEMPORANEI + I-LIVINGSPACE | IMPERFETTOGALLERY

Within Imperfettogallery, Imperfettolab presents a selection of the most iconic and forward-thinking pieces from its collection, the result of nearly thirty years of research. In this context unfolds SODALIZI TEMPORANEI, where the new collection enters into dialogue with that of Dutch designer Ruud van Oosterhout, whose research revolves around a design in which material, proportions and volumes are meticulously defined, and with Henzel Studio, which through its Collaborations project, active for over a decade, translates works by contemporary artists into the medium of the hand-knotted rug, activating a dialogue between artistic practice and textile form. On this occasion, it presents the preview of RICHARD PRINCE, 1967, a work conceived by the artist in 2013 and now, thirteen years later, introduced for the first time as a hand-knotted rug in an edition of 20. The exhibition is completed by works from Erich Turroni and Verter Turroni, an essential presence that reinforces the central role of art within Imperfettolab’s design approach.

On the first floor of the gallery, I-livingspace is open to visitors, an environment where the narrative shifts scale into a lived dimension. Here, Imperfettolab’s language engages with hand-knotted rugs by Calle Henzel and Olaf Breuning, alongside lighting by Pulpo, ceramics by Bosa imagined by Jaime Hayon, textiles by Innate and olfactory elements by Omatiiq, constructing a tangible vision of living and defining a domestic identity.

Completing the environment are paintings by Marco Neri, which introduce a further layer of interpretation in the dialogue between art and design.
