CAMBIO BY FORMAFANTASMA
Cambio is an ongoing investigation into the extraction, production and distribution of wood products by the Italian designer duo Formafantasma.
Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rebecca Lewin, in Italy with Cristiana Perrella, the exhibition analyzes the supply chain of the carpentry industry, one of the most impactful production activities both in economic terms than ecological.
This multidisciplinary exhibition highlights the crucial role that design can play in our environment, and its responsibility to look beyond the edges of its borders. The future of design can and must attempt to translate emerging environmental awareness into a renewed understanding of the philosophy and politics of trees that will encourage informed, collaborative responses.
For the exhibition in Prato, the reflections conducted by the original project will be the subject of new combinations and further suggestions, such as the comparison with Giuseppe Penone's long-term research on trees.
Until October 24 at Centro per l'arte contemporanea Luigi Pecci!

THE MOTLEYS BY BRIGHT POTATO
Created by London based design studio Bright Potato, The Motleys are a collection of playfully recognisable characters that are designed and precisely crafted to be beautifully simple and bring joy and fun wherever they go. From the spiked hair of the Punk to the pointy hat of the General, the full collection of 20 individual characters are beautifully designed with gorgeous details that give a unique personality to each one.
These cute characters are not only environmentally sustainable because they are made completely from solid hardwood, but for each Motley sold the creators will plant 5 trees to offset the material and resources used to produce each one. Adding to these impressive green credentials, the Motleys only use renewable and recyclable packaging material to deliver each one.
The cleverly designed collection uses magnets to connect the pieces of each character, bringing endless fun to each in assembling and disassembling, but also offers even more fun when exchanging different parts from completely different characters.
As a collection of characters representing the variety of human cultures, the Motleys celebrate diversity and promote respect between all people. Amazing!

AXO IN FABULA BY CAPPELLINI
During the last Milano Design Week Cappellini launched AXO IN FABULA, the project that investigate the theme of socio-cultural regeneration through Elena Salmistraro’s imaginative and surreal language.
The company presents AXO, a funny salamander, shifting in appearance and with an extraordinary ability to regenerate itself.
AXO is a rag doll, such as those of the past which were sewn by grandmothers reusing, re-assembling and regenerating pieces of fabric giving life to unique pieces. Then and now, the rag doll preserves a message of environmental sustainability enriched today as a social value: AXO, in fact, was born from the collaboration with the Cooperativa Alice, promoter of "Ethically made in Italy", the first made in Italy supply chain guaranteed by WFTO (World Fair Trade Organization), together with Il Laboratorio based in Quartoggiaro and Fiori All'Occhiello in Baranzate.
AXO IN FABULA is the result of an exciting choral project focusing on the impact of the textile industry on the environment, but also the importance of the re-inclusion of women and fragile categories in society, to offer them a new opportunity for life and a rebirth. An installation of abstract works defines the path inside the Cappellini showroom, telling the genesis of the project and its concept of change and regeneration. It is a journey through sculptures also made of fabric immortalizing the moments of AXO's growth, from birth to transformation, from its being a fabric-cell to becoming a dream-doll.
The path towards rebirth goes on in the Cappellini showroom also through the reissue of iconic pieces and new products. Among the big names comes back Jasper Morrison with his San Siro: an armchair with a precise design, rigorous shapes and perfect proportions, renewed with new upholstery. Morrison also exhibits the iconic and versatile collection of Tate chairs, offered with new finishes and upholstery and also a remake of the elegant Day Bed, the first product presented by the English designer for Cappellini together with Thinkingman's chair, revisited for the occasion in a light gray velvet and black nylon according to the most contemporary haute couture trends.
Reinterpreted in a new natural finish there is also Hiroi, the essential seat designed by Cyril Dunděra &Matěj Janský both for the home and public spaces. New shades give new life to the two-tone sphere Cord Lamp by Werner Aissingler; the Litos sofa by Sebastian Herkner is enriched with corner and terminal elements allowing the creation of new and wide configurations.
The set-up is completed by some iconic creations of the brand such as the very thin Vendôme table and the small Gong tabletop by Giulio Cappellini, the Riga desk by Marc Newson and the sinuous Side1 designed by Shiro Kuramata. There is no shortage of projects perfectly interpreting the theme of transformation such as the soft and multifaceted Lud'o armchair by Patricia Urquiola and the Marfa seat collection designed by the Cappellini Design Team.
