The ARCHIVOLTO EVENTS, exhibition space in the manner of Micheli

The Archivolto, publishing house, bookshop and gallery, opened in the Fuorisalone 2010 a new exhibition "The Archivolto Events", permanent work designed by Simone Micheli and made possible thanks to significant contributions from Samsung Staron ®-in the guise of business promoter, along with important partners. The project envisioned by the volcanic interior architect as a manifesto of expression and content related to "present-future", characterizes the space through a clever use of the sensory qualities of Staron ® solid surface. The Archivolto Events in the imagination of its creator is a place of intensified sensory living every day, all year, a major cultural project that can excite, impress and enhance any experience making it unique. It 'a place smoothly and continuously that it intends to express a message of unity, sharing, interaction, fusion of thought, matter, form and function. The first exhibition "Staron ®, simply amazing" housed in the new space has Archivolto Events attended by famous designers such as 5 +1 AA, Simone Micheli, Denis Santachiara, Claudio Silvestrin, who discussed the theme of the use of extreme Staron ®.

Exhibit Space

Simone Micheli speaks so

This exciting project permanent work of interior design, comes to life and is materialized by the intuition of its two founders and supporters, the architects Silvio San Pietro and Simone Micheli. "After the first few chats with architect Silvio San Pietro, founder of The Archivolto, or what the new space from the functional point of view, everything was clear in my mind. I created a candid friend to the historian cells capable of emotional exalt and extol, flashing, relax and get excited by new contrapuntal passages formal and functional concave and convex, through a dynamic use of light. The space that I created, imagining it as a living organism, has set as its main objective to enhance perceptual experiences and recommendations, by leveraging its strong expressive properties and content. It 'a fragment of space' involucrato 'regarded as an ode to the city to come. A strong new permanent sign for Milan, which I love, for Milan is transformed and dreams of the future. "

As this project consists of Micheli

On entering the new space is a clear desire to project the viewer into a dimension metropolitan imaginative definitely turned towards the future. It is the emblem door that awaits us when we decide to cross the threshold that separates us from the inside. A plane solid surface, carved like the access area of ​​a space ship, ending on the high side with a deformation of the surface, sucked inward as space-time anomaly, a kind of black hole, instead of absorbing with its immense gravitational power light, emits a glow far, ever-changing color that seems to come from a mysterious other dimension. The door, whose handle is a long vertical incision on the floor spotless, through a slot in the glass, parallel to the cutting of the handle but placed in an asymmetric position with respect to it, allows us to glimpse the inside. In the middle, between the two vertical slits, an incision in low relief, "The Archivolto Events + The Archivolto Editions", elegant and discreet. An essential solution, this door, or rather the gate entrance, which heralds the story of interior space, a solution of extremely clean and clear without a formal renunciation of the material plastic expressiveness.

Display Case

The interior design addresses the problem of the relationship is always on exhibition / display work, resolving it with a delicate balance. The interior does not arise predominantly, and never assumes the role of protagonist of space but at the same time there is no lack of strong characterization and create episodes able to interact and celebrate the works to be accepted. Once inside the lobby we are immersed in a soft white world, made of sinuous walls Staron ® solid surface that are generated from the stairs down to the exhibition gallery to become a real array of architectural space, first, fluid lining the perimeter of the entire room, then. A door that seems to laser cut, almost to death in snow-white baffle placed in front of the entrance, reveals a discreet access to the local offices. A large LCD screen, framed by a master key asymmetric mirror, enriches the experience of synaesthetic space already amplified by the changing of the light projected from the LED RGB color changing place in the extrados of the surface deformation, externally concave and internally generates a language, a protuberance that extends organic plastically toward the center of the space. The lunar surface of the floor with soft reflections, without cuts or leaks, obtained by spreading a layer of cement mortar and resin flowing fluid, salt on the walls left uncovered by the solid surface coating, comes down the stairs to cover, in its totality, the floor of the gallery and the adjacent side rooms. The large exhibition hall basement, whose walls are completely covered with solid-surface, is an interactive space, capable of stimulating the sensory capabilities of users and enhance the quality of accommodation. Metropolitan fluid arabesques, geometric shapes borrowed from digital printed circuit boards, still made solid surface, chasing each other on the ceiling, and underlined by LED RGB linear color changing lights that follow the profile, the walls come down on them opening slots, soft, deep , sinuous, designed to accommodate works and creations on glass shelves, illuminated by LEDs, arranged on the sides of the display niches. On the opposite wall, punctuated by window openings flush with the road redesigned from the solid surface coating, alternate capable LCD monitor embedded in the wall, with their media content, shoot out of lights, colors, images in rapid succession, and additional windows, for temporary exhibitions, always drawn with an emptying of the material, the excavation of the wall in solid surface. The windows, which on the short side of the lounge open directly onto Via Marsala, themselves become more windows for the display of goods or works of art visible in this way, both from within and from without.

Three pillars of the existing square concrete, coated mirror according to the three-dimensional geometry of an irregular and faceted prism, triangular surfaces decomposed into oblique, three totem macro crystalline concretions become reflective, capable of fragmenting the surrounding space, and then reassemble the destrutturarlo, following a procedure almost Cubist, in a single unified vision, dream and kaleidoscopic. The adjustable halogen spotlights, concealed in the ceiling, with very narrow light beam, generating targeted lighting and attentive but never predictable. Theatrical light beams to create memories and emotions, they vibrate the material, make it alive and kicking, dramatize and enhance the exhibits, the walls, kaleidoscopic columns. Through the suggestions of color lights, video presentations, the white, virgin, smooth wall surfaces, the thousand facets and suggestions of unconventional reflections, The Archivolto Events becomes a space where you can celebrate a history of architecture and intelligence becomes a meeting place, and comparison of artistic and cultural expression. Every single design gesture is intended to create a unique and extraordinary perception of a space within which to tell a story attached to the present-future, suspended between the architecture, fashion, design, culture and human limbs. The entire procedure creates a strong interaction between a container capable of expressing strong contemporaneity of attention and become a catalyst for those who are eager to seize emotionally and physically an architectural fragment of the future, and the works contained, the dreams expressed by infinite intelligence , related to the size of a renewed do.
