MINGARDO srls via liguria 3, 35043 Monselice (PD) – P.IVA: 05095320288– C.F. 05095320288 – www.mingardo.com - [email protected] Milano Design Week 8 - 14 April 2019 Press Release Mingardo presents Diorama The brand showcases new domestic harmonies with new author's collections and a special installation Mingardo is the brand that combines the most avant-garde, contemporary design with the excellence of craftsmanship of metal. Under the guidance of Daniele Mingardo, who has been in charge of the Mingardo project since 2013, and the art direction of Federica Biasi, high-end design and manufacturing skills meet to create exclusive collections with minimalist and contemporary aesthetics, in numbered editions. In the heart of Brera district, in via Solferino 11, the installation Diorama, developed by the creative studio AIM, showcases the new Mingardo collections with a concept that invites to rethink the natural perception of domestic spaces to create new points of view, with the aim to respond to the continuous demand for change and innovation. The installation aims to reveal how the perception of the domestic environment is an ever-changing concept, defined by the architectural space but, above all, by the elements that compose it. Through the creation of unique environments, micro-worlds to explore, the objects become protagonists and create evocative scenarios, taking the visitor into a constantly changing path. The path of the exhibition is developed in different areas: Welcome, the space in the calm tones of blue, that expresses the balance between colors, shapes and fabrics; Foyer, which plays with the perspective created by the mirrors to enhance the architectural container; Living, the space that through neutral tones and strong geometries manifests the elegance and privacy of an intimate place; Boudoir, where fabrics create harmonious movements and give flexibility to the environment. Inside this installation frame, Mingardo exhibits the most iconic pieces of the brand along with the new proposals. The novelty products, with essential features yet a strong attention to details, enhance the quality of the materials without sacrificing the aesthetic result. The flexibility of steel and brass stands out in the Bendy shelf designed by Studiopepe; the classic industrial tubes meet the refinement of oak processing techniques in the Innocent modular system by Gio Tirotto; the Shirudo tables by Elisa Honkanen reveal a new way of conceiving metal, soft and playful; and lastly materials, finishes and special processing methods culminate in new sculptural perspectives in the Elephant console and the Rondò mirror designed by Bernhardt & Vella.
