TURANDOT

IL MONDO È PIENO DI PAZZI INNAMORATI

MAKING IDEAS TANGIBLE — COLLABORATION

The exhibition, conceived by Gumdesign for the Centenary of Turandot, takes the enigma as a generative principle, translating the language of music and stage into a grammar of materials, forms and relationships.

THE PROJECT

The project developed three woven masks, each conceived in dialogue with a marble vessel. The woven structures translate the enigmatic character of the masks through line, light and transparency, while the natural materials create a dialogue between the solidity of stone and the lightness of weaving.
