Paola Pivi, 2022
Milano, a piece created by Paola Pivi in collaboration with More-So, appears as a multi-coloured stack of abundant velvet mattresses, with the upper section suspended in space. A playful and magnetic presence of brightly coloured velvet of captivating silkiness, a surprising shape that allows entry, and majestic proportions. Milano is a work of art that functions as a piece of design, activated, and lived through human experiences happening inside it. The space between two coloured halves, which can be crawled into, is broad, comfortable, soft and smooth, while at the same time being new, odd and narrow. A personal environment surrounded by the primary colours blue and red where we enter a new place. It’s an exclusive place imagined by Paola Pivi and designed as a wide-open, empty passageway that we are free to fill or contemplate in our daily home life.
Paola Pivi’s Milano was exhibited for the first time in April 2022 in the personal exhibition Paola Pivi: I Want It All, curated by José Carlos Diaz at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh, USA. This piece was manufactured by Moroso in Italy, in consultation with the artist and in collaboration with Perrotin New York.
The pictures are for reference only.
