2195 IMBIAH PINE
Matter, void, message.
In 1967 the art movement called “Arte Povera” (poor art) came into being in Italy. It is a trend based on the utilisation of waste and worthless objects which may be of an industrial or natural origin.
They are materials with no aesthetical or functional quality, which are manipulated to given them an artistic and poetic spirit.
Nowadays the re-utilisation of materials in disuse is commonplace and a mainstream tendency, both in decoration and in architecture.
It is interesting to apply this trend as a starting point for our work methodology.
Re-using, reinterpreting materials and transforming them into visually attractive designs.
That is what we have done with Imbiah Pine.
By manipulating a modest, rather unattractive material and giving it a colour treatment, we have bestowed a strong personality and unquestionable beauty on it.
