PIAZZA

Piazza is a tray which reproduces, to scale, the surfaces and geometrical features of the squares of Lecce, the designer’s native town.

Quote
“A tray able to evoke the typical spirit of Italian squares. “I was born in Lecce, a small city halfway between Milan and Africa. I lived there until I was 18 and in my shoes, there’s still the dust of the squares in which I used to play football with friends or court girls. The square was the place where everything happened, it was the meeting place of a pre-mobile civilization. Today I am 51 years old and I am an architect. Age and professional practice are the filters through which I wanted to idealize that place, turning it into a witness of more intimate encounters, the fulcrum of more private gestures. The scale of relationships has changed and perhaps the surface of this square/tray will serve as an amarcord to reflect on our time”.
