reintroducing the mirage collection
BY STUDIOINTERVALLO
The world has always been a changing landscape, evermore challenging to navigate as societies evolve and become more complex, not only in it’s tangible structure, but also sociologically. We as citizens often find ourselves in a world where we need to be agile and able to adapt on a dime. All this can sometimes leave us feeling that the very ground we stand on is moving, like the shifting dunes of the Sahara desert or the seas flowing across our blue planet. So where do we find a foundation on which to anchor ourselves so as to not aimlessly drift through the world?
One place is in nature itselves. Looking to the monolithic mountains, ever imposing, ever anchored. It’s from the mountains that the materials of the Mirage collection originate. A series of monolithic marble centerpieces available in four different stones including the famous Carrara marble, carved from the same mountains once visited by Michelangelo himself during the Renaissance.
The Mirage collection offers us a focal point securely anchored by its own weight. Cut from a single piece of marble, studiointervallo meticulously carves out negative space adding a lightness and a softness to the pieces, allowing light and shadow to play together.
We recently had the pleasure of shooting three pieces from the collection producing a shoot we named In a New Light playing on the notion of ancient materials vs a modern world, showcasing the beautiful marble pieces against a brutalist concrete backdrop only disturbed by the presence of a sharp shadow - inorganic in its appearance, imposing in its contrast.
The Mirage Collection is an exclusive offering by Galerie SORS. Each object is signed, numbered and engraved with ownership provenance.
Founded by Andrea Ghisoni, the studio pursues the perfect blending of essential lines with the brightness of the shapes and the nobility of true craftsmanship; the overall goals would be to just make people happy. Studiointervallo is in Corneliano Bertario, a small village near the flood plain of the Adda river.
