This installation represents the encounter between cultural heritage<\/strong>, craftsmanship<\/strong> and innovation in design<\/strong>, celebrating the union between ALPI's mastery in wood<\/strong> treatment and the cultural and creative approach of Burks' studio. \n<\/em>Inspired by the ancient textile traditions of the Kuba Kingdom<\/strong> in today's Democratic Republic of Congo, the collection translates the geometric patterns and craftsmanship of raffia fiber<\/strong> into sophisticated wooden furnishings<\/strong>. Through ALPI's Legacy Collection<\/strong> , the project revitalizes the texture, color and grain of rare wood species such as ebony<\/strong>, teak<\/strong>, wenge<\/strong>, rosewood<\/strong> and zebrawood<\/strong>, reinterpreting a cultural heritage at risk of extinction. \n<\/em>The project stems from in-depth research on Kuba culture and materials, culminating in a week-long workshop in Kinshasa with contemporary artisans. The experience was documented in the short film In Search of Kuba<\/strong>, which tells the fusion between tradition and innovation. Vittorio Alpi, President of ALPI, underlines how \"The Lost Cloth Object represents design as a cultural practice, where wood becomes an expressive language and tells new stories\".<\/em> ","testo_b":"The installation at Design Miami includes an organic platform with decorative furniture<\/strong> such as swinging stools, ottomans and curved panels that pay homage to Kuba graphic abstraction<\/strong>, combining the radical creativity of Italian design<\/strong> with diverse cultural perspectives and material innovation<\/strong>. Glenn Adamson, curator of the fair, defines the project as \"an extraordinary example of fusion between pattern and mastery in wood treatment\".\n<\/em>ALPI, founded in Italy, is a leader in the production of ALPIlignum veneers<\/a><\/strong>, industrially recomposed wood but with a strong artisanal character, 100% FSC\u00ae certified to ensure sustainability<\/strong> and responsible origin. Thanks to the combination of research and development<\/strong>, advanced technology<\/strong> and attention to detail, each ALPI surface is reproducible and durable over time, maintaining high safety standards (Bs1d0 and IMO-MED certification). \n<\/em>Stephen Burks Man Made and ALPI demonstrate how contemporary design<\/strong> can dialogue with the global cultural and artisan heritage, creating unique and innovative<\/strong> furnishings<\/strong> capable of telling profound stories through noble materials such as wood. This collaboration marks a significant moment in the international luxury design<\/strong> landscape, merging aesthetics, craftsmanship<\/strong> and sustainability<\/strong>. \n\nINFO\/PHOTO COURTESY: Francesca Formenti \u2013 Camron Global","foto_articolo":[65480,65482],"guest_o_libero":"","prezzo":"","chiara":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65484","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1594"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=65484"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65484\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":65681,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/65484\/revisions\/65681"}],"acf:attachment":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65482"},{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65480"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/65480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=65484"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=65484"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theinteriordesign.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=65484"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
