Bitossi Home is a Bitossi Diffusione brand, created in 2007 in Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany. The education and attitude to design have converged into the current collections featuring aesthetic sense of shapes, harmony of colours and an inclination to simplicity, as well as elegance and good taste.
Today Bitossi Home confirms its trend to create a complete and coordinated style as far as table setting up is concerned, capable of telling the beauty of its land where nature, tradition and cosmopolitan spirit coexist. A constant quest for ideas that can combine ceramic material, glass, wood and new materials is the brand’s strong point.
A celebratory, playful, sexy collection created to ask the viewer to scratch at a surface and to take delight in a secret which lies beneath. Michael thinks about the complexity of surfaces and what lies beneath them. Using wallpaper – a surface covering – as a medium and adding an interactive element to it, Michael invites viewers to consider that interaction informs understanding.
Kate McLean, an artist and designer, creator of smellmaps of cities around the world. I focus on human perception of urban smellscapes – rendering it as “eye-visible” through mapping. While the visual dominates and the digital distances, I believe we should re-connect with our sensing selves so as to relate to where, and who we are. I find the sense of smell intriguing, elusive and ephemeral… and that is of itself captivating and worthy of study.
Smells form part of our knowing, but are elusive, often disappearing before they can be described pinned down. Smell perception is an invisible and currently under-presented dataset with strong connections to emotions and memory. I am part of a small but growing number of innovative practitioners committed to the study and capture of this highly nuanced sensory field.
