EXHIBITION

BOLOGNA , ITALY / LIPU / Art Fair

Bologna, January 2011: LipanjePuntin Arte Contemporanea is proud to present Antonio Pio Saracino recent work the Ray Sofa.

The Ray Sofa is an exploration of the structural components found in the natural world and the ways in which they can find expression in design.

Each “sofa” is constructed with a cellular assemblage of multiple strips of rubber foam and then coated with an elastic polymer skin.

This chair exists as a visual contradiction – it looks as hard as a gemstone, but in fact, it is soft and comfortable. When viewed from above, the Ray Sofa is reminiscent of a composition of pixels and also resembles the way crystals are formed.
