Event: Ostia Antica

Ostia Antica 2024

"[...] I mention the NIKE lamp by Enzo Catellani, a bedside LED lamp inspired by the Nike of Samothrace. In this case, the reproduction is not very faithful to the original sculpture's details. Although the design is poetic, it had to accept a significant simplification compared to the original housed in the Louvre in Paris. With current technologies powered by Artficial, that allow authorized scans by museums and secure file storage, it will be possible to develop a new line of objects and furnishings faithful to the originals, reinterpreted with a functional approach."
Ely Rozenberg, Design Professor at Holon Institute of Technology

"From Slide's Venus and David-inspired pieces to Artficial's artclones, design now explores classical forms through modern materials, allowing art's essence to live within the dynamics of contemporary spaces."
Ubaldo Spina, Giornale dell'Architettura "Design" Editor in Chief

"Classical art, revered for its iconinc form, has been transformed through ironic and provocative reinterpretations - lacerations, integrations, and colorations - reflecting designers' strive to reconcile tradition with modernity."
Ubaldo Spina, Giornale dell'Architettura "Design" Editor in Chief
