It\u0092s a swing-sculpture, the actual result of material research. The main elements of nOlita are rope and movement, merged together in an out-and-out artistic work (which is also a massive piece of handicraft) made out of 35 meters of rope. The only thing that makes it a design item too is its function.","testo_a":"<p><strong>Matter is certainly a leading feature of your work. Which are your favorite materials and why?<\/strong><br \/>I mostly work with steel, as it allows a lot of possibilities : it can be cut, rolled, welded, painted, etc&hellip;<br \/>I also employ EPDM, normally used for joints. I love its sensual touch and its matte black color.<br \/>The last material I&rsquo;ve been exploring is rope. The first rope peace by me is <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.the-interiordesign.com\/en\/design-data\/nolita\/2120\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Ingrid Sol Leccia\">nOlita<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you think will be the material of the future in terms of art?<br \/><\/strong>There is no just one material that will be the leading choice for the future. Every day we discover new ways to transform and re-use the very same materials, especially those belonging to industrial production.<\/p>","testo_b":"<p><strong>How thin is the boundary between sculpture and design?<\/strong><br \/>I personally don&rsquo;t believe in tags: to me such boundary is really thin and fluid. The only thing that separates art and design is the function of the final piece, as most of the time a design item has a specific function.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there any difference between a male and a female sculpture? has your work been influenced in any way by your gender?<br \/><\/strong>Unlike me, female sculptors rarely employ metal, however my works has often been defined very feminine, and that&rsquo;s because my approach towards materials aims at flexibility, lightness and poetry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tell us about your swing exhibited at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinteriordesign.it\/en\/showroom-tid.php\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"TID showroom\">TID showroom<\/a>.<br \/><\/strong>nOlita is my latest creation.
