Eclecticism and the search for balance in the new Visionnaire collection
May 9, 2018
The new leitmotif that Visionnaire is focusing on in 2018 is 'Breathing', which is, in fact, an essential condition of every transformation.
The meticulous search for balance between form and matter, between past and present, takes us into a world of symbols and meditation. Matter, like a diaphragm that oxygenates the space around it, is embodied in metal, wood, marble surfaces and is realized in stone, leather, wool and raffia, creating a sense of natural harmony without anything superfluous.
Loyalty to the tradition of handmade craftsmanship is still a hallmark of Visionnaire: complex technical elements are organically woven into the individuality of each item in the collection. However, if previously the company drew inspiration solely from Italian culture, this year the brand's creative ideas are enriched with refined motifs from the East.
The colour palette reflects shades of earth and wood, putting nature at the centre of attention. Elements of bamboo, a symbol of rebirth and energy, enhance the effect.
The space in which the new collection was first shown was a loft of approximately 900 m², consisting of 15 rooms. The eclecticism encompassed all areas of the interior design: from the architectural space itself to the smallest details of the finishes.
This year, the already illustrious team of designers - Alessandro La Spada, Mauro Lipparini, Giuseppe Vigano, Fabio Bonfa, Maurizio Manzoni, Roberto Tapinassi and, of course, Steve Leung - was joined by Roberto Lazzeroni, Marco Piva and Armando Bruno.
