Brooklyn based Architecture firm Snarkitecture have partnered with quartz manufacturer Caesarstone to unveil Altered States.
As it is the year of Eurocucina, this year’s collaboration explores the core theme of the kitchen island..
Jaime Hayon revealed a collection of fantastical furniture pieces, imbued with his trademark whimsical style, in an installation titled ‘Stone Age Folk’ exhibited within the historical backdrop of the Palazzo Serbelloni.
Described by Hayon as a ‘combination of ideas, from folklore to fauna to colour to material to stone to furniture’, the ambitious collection’s abstract features and patterns are intricate adaptations of Caesarstone’s fine marquetry, yet again pushed to its creative limits.
Caesarstone presented Islands, with an interactive installation focusing on food and dining within the domestic environment at the 18th century Palazzo Clerici, in Milan’s Brera District.
They teamed up with London-based design studio Raw Edges Design Studio, UK, – to create a collection of seven living islands that offer both a new take on the materials and an innovative interpretation of the domestic space.
