Questa prima edizione di REFLECTION. 999 Sopralluoghi sul design fatto ad arte e non di superficie pone immediatamente la domanda: Resistere al Tempo, e qui si apre un baratro. Tanto per iniziare gli invitati, tutti molto noti, non recitano a copione e non amano “ripetere il numero”. Loro, nelle galassie del progetto hanno sempre navigato a vista, più semplicemente e di fatto messo mano a cose mai viste prima che hanno inventato il dopo; anche in epoche minacciosissime del consumismo mai passato di moda. Si sono dunque messi insieme a riflettere sull'enigma, non privo di mistero, di un Autentico di routine. Così ne vanno discorrendo nell'eccellente maniera di non mettersi d'accordo su quasi nulla, eccetera. Come fondale-promemoria le pentole PAN999, che sono il caso, l'enorme interrogativo spalancato da Tobia Scarpa. Le creature dell'immaginazione prendono corpo, diventano cose fatte di materia, oggetti, presenze. Vivono nel mondo segnato dal design sempre in bilico tra razionalità e follia. Il fatto sconvolgente è che diventano pian piano anche compagni di vita. Chi lo sa come andrà a finire questa tappa avanzata sul pensare come fare progetti che hanno senso, tra convenzione e avanguardia. Tra sperimentalismo e futuro. Ora siamo in pieno svolgimento, con il vantaggio di poter ascoltare.

The ability to return to virgin and true shapes. We begin again to talk about the familiarity of beauty and maybe not just about that. Beauty that dig into mystery, like a dangerous and charming adventure which refers to tradition. New inventors always work on the emotion of time and they go above that, on the real and fantastic capability to create something which was never seen before. New inventors always start over experimenting from scratch and taking comfort in nature. They never stop in front of anything. And this is their main and contagious peculiarity. It is a happy moment when we look at something that has the ability to attract us. We need what attracts us. And it is already needed because it strikes at our hearts. PAN999 will come back talking about the poetry of the drawing and the matter, when they join they intensify each other.
