The project involved the four windows and the interior of the showroom in via Solferino and the name "Plinthos" introduced the theme of the three-dimensional figures created by Gamper, one of the most original and poetic designers of his generation.

Plinths
The plinths became urban landscapes of different heights and finishes that revealed plays of shapes and colors using tones and surfaces of the Color Collection.

Concept
“I worked on the relationship between the external street and what was already present inside the space, creating architectural miniatures that echo the patina of the great urban history of Milan. The plinth is usually understood as a mechanism for constructing buildings, rather than a support for elevating pieces of art or sculptures, while in this case it becomes the main object of the work."
