Atelier(s) Alfonso Femia AF517

Digressing and contaminating: words with matter, meanings with signs, art with design.

This is the path taken by Alfonso Femia and Arthur Simony in the reinterpretation of the fabulous “Cobra” lamp 50 years after its creation based on a design by Elio Martinelli; in the suggestion of the “Vortici” wallpaper for London Art; in the magnetic wave created for the 3rd edition of the Pisa Architecture Biennale “Tempodacqua”.

“The hand is what is closest to our heart and it is guided by an instantaneous dialogue between mind and soul. The hand, when it writes or draws, opens doors to imaginaries and realities that merge, guide us, disorient us, and that accompany us into the world.
Three words - love, realism, imaginary - three words that belong to me but also to many others. I thought they could create vortices thanks to Arthur’s hand, and accompany us, in our secret intimacy, in our imagination, in our reality of love.” Alfonso Femia
