Milan 2013 : Exhibition ‘Plenty of Empty’ at Salone del Mobile

Curated by Nicola Quadri with Marinella Rossi

Mari & Co played host to a wide selection of beautiful ‘Empty’ boxes in the exhibition ‘Plenty of Empty’ during this years Milan Design Fair.  If you were lucky enough to see the exhibit, please let us know what you thought and enjoy this selection of captivating imagery courtesy of Mari & Co.

‘ The rough original features are transfigured, dust and rust have faded away. Empty containers are now the simulacrum of the past, a hymn to beauty.’ 

When gazing them we are involved in a process of reinvention of art, in the ideal set of a factory, an old lathe that Marinella Rossi has remodeled. 

Taste and aesthetics merge, recreating an ideal indoor market of a post-industrial metropolis. A unique occasion to experience a fascinating space-time dimension where memories, ideas, dreams are evoked by rare and seducing dishes.’
