Famìglia - family in Corsican,
is a construction that took hold after Pio's birth.
His arrival redistributed the roles of all the members of the existing family.
A couple becomes parents, a mother becomes a grandmother.
If the family is a kind of house, with its foundations and load-bearing walls, the arrival of a new generation is an addition to it. A floor is added. It is a pivot that upsets the existing balance until a new balance is created.
Famìglie consists of form frames, they are its foundations. With the help of a cabinetmaker I chose to cut the frames from birch plywood; plywood for its lightness and birch for its tight fibres which ensure great dimensional stability.
The family is a complex fabric, on the border between the innate and the acquired.
It is a second skin.
I chose a linen fabric with a more pronounced weave than a cotton fabric to symbolise this skin that changes from generation to generation.
It is these successive elevations and moults that create Famìglie.
Famìglie is made up of free forms, hand-drawn frames, cut, covered with canvas and assembled into totems. Each form is a milestone.
Superimposed on each other, the personalities take shape.
