MILAN DESIGN WEEK 2023

AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE

OF MATTER AND COLOUR

The Art of Tiles was the name chosen for the exhibit featuring the top brand Fioranese at Milano Design Week 2023 (17-23 April, Via Solferino, 11, Milan).
A prestigious flat in the heart of Milan’s Brera district became the setting to host a unique story of ceramics made of light, alternating textures and colour, designed by Alesssandro Pasinelli Studio. A tactile and visual itinerary guided us from room to room to discover dreamlike and muffled spaces, filled with soft curtains and fabrics that form a soft ’skin’ around three-dimensional volumes covered with innovative ceramic surfaces, adding more appeal to the space.

On the occasion of Milano Design Week 2023, Coem accompanied us on a curious trip through space and time that runs from the rooms of the third-floor apartment in Via Solferino 11, encouraging us to reflect on issues regarding contemporary design and artistic tradition, highlighting the hallmark elements of outstanding ceramics.

A NEW TILE CONCEPT

SPECTACULAR HYPNOTIC EFFECTS

The Art of Tiles hosted a preview of Moiré, the first collection resulting from the collaboration between Coem and Alessandro Pasinelli that was launched with the intention of creating a large format with a graphic, contemporary and decorative surface with a special marbled effect. The term moiré in fact denotes a pattern of interference, created in this case by two identical superimposed grids that are slightly shifted at different angles, then developed further combining three colours for each nuance.

The surface created has an original texture, similar to moving waves, which appears to our eyes as a third different texture with a fascinating design, which makes us reflect on how easily our eyes can be fooled.

THE NEW COEM COLLECTION

OPTICAL INTERFERENCE OF SIGNS AND COLOUR

The collection consists of 6 colours in warm and cold shades in sizes 120×280 cm with a thickness of 6 mm. Each slab has only one face and is ‘seamless’ to facilitate laying and composition. The unusual optical effects create elusive tone-on-tone patterns that make the surfaces vibrate with delicate elegance, blending harmoniously with space and modifying its appearance and perception to create suggestive atmospheres.

MOIRÉ INTERIORS

DIFFERENT CONTAMINATIONS THAT TOGETHER WORK WONDERFULLY

Moiré is at its best when used to cover large surfaces because of the infinite graphic movement that can be generated through the combination of slabs. The collection is particularly well suited to hotels and catering establishments where it can best express its visual appeal and practical characteristics. Such examples include floors and walls in hotels, shops and public premises. In the home, on the other hand, Moiré is ideal for covering portions of walls and buildings in combination with plain-coloured backgrounds or with stone and concrete.
