Deanna Comellini’s vision of the rug as a “home”<\/h1>\n<\/div>

Deanna Comellini \u2013 designer and G.T.DESIGN’s art director \u2013 has joined the Design Re-Generation<\/strong> collective at the Fuorisalone promoted by Interni<\/em><\/a> at the Universit\u00e0 Statale in Milan with the ‘Unit\u00e0 Abitativa<\/strong>‘ installation.<\/p>\n

The annual core event of Milan’s Design Week gave tribute to Deanna Comellini’s artistic contribution that goes beyond product design.<\/p>\n<\/div>

In Unit\u00e0 Abitativa<\/strong> (Living Unit), located in the arched portico at the university’s Cortile d’Onore<\/em>, Deanna Comellini<\/em> explores the concepts of living and displacement.<\/p>\n

Looking at textile design as one of the most ancient technologies known to give shelter to humans, the designer imagines the rug as an object turned into a \u2018Housing Unit\u2019, a place of comfort, re-generation and rootedness.<\/p>\n

In a fast-paced and conflicted world, the rug becomes once again a connection between man and earth, a foundation on which to build a home.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The installation showcases Luoghi<\/a>, G.T.DESIGN’s lightweight wool rug collection.<\/p>\n

Three statuesque figures wear the rugs as embracing and protective custom-made ‘outfits’ that become a symbol of modern nomadism. As a result of Deanna Comellini<\/em>‘s pioneering research in materials and rug design techniques, Luoghi<\/em> is made following the principles of high craftsmanship and an artistic approach to product design.<\/p>\n

The rug is hand-painted on both sides and features a modular system of hand-stitched sections that can be combined to make one-of-a-kind pieces.<\/p>\n

In the installation’s background, the abstract and reflective Kama Campi di Gravit\u00e0<\/a> rugs act as emotional gravity centers for our sensory needs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
