Designers explore historicist surfaces at A Palazzo Gallery in Brescia
The group exhibition 'Sur' at A Palazzo Gallery in Brescia brings together designers who share a historicist approach to surfaces and materials. Housed in the first floor of Palazzo Cigola, the show features works by Christian Haas, Christoph Hefti, Marlène Huissoud, and others. Haas's table incorporates 19th-century German glass paintings with mirrored surfaces; Hefti's rug 'World Mask' blends Venetian, Tibetan, Guatemalan, and African influences; Huissoud's vases use Murano glass techniques on propolis. The exhibition also references historical design objects like Franco Albini's 'Mitragliera' and Pietro Chiesa's lamps. Curated by Federica Sala, 'Sur' runs until May 10, 2016.
