Research, innovation, product culture and experimentation are the founding values of the Foscariniphilosophy, addressing a multifarious public, through innovative forms and channels, with initiatives linked tointerdisciplinary fields.This vision is expressed to the full in the company's presence in Venice, where Foscarini lamps offer acontemporary reinterpretation of the historic venues of la Biennale di Venezia. Light installations with anunmistakable presence and a strong evocative effect, disseminated across the Arsenale and the Giardini, confirmFoscarini's ability to put together sceneries, create atmospheres and arouse emotions even in contexts andsettings of significant sizes.On the occasion of the 55 th International Art Exhibition – la Biennale di Venezia, the second floor of theArsenale bookshop houses the Foscarini relaxation area with an original photo exhibition. Twelve largecanvases reproduce the pictures commissioned by Foscarini from world-famous photographers forINVENTARIO magazine, an independent publishing project - promoted and supported by Foscarini - which relieson original critical contributions to shed an enlightened and free light on the design, architecture and art scene.Massimo Gardone, Max Rommel, Moreno Gentili, Lena Amuat, Emmanuel Mathez, Gionata Xerra haveimagined and set up lots of different sets, each time starring one of the models in the Foscarini collection. Theresult is a gallery of original portraits, where the lamps enjoy an entirely unprecedented dimension, which is bothsymbolic and unexpected.The bond between Foscarini and the art world is part of a far-reaching vision, which this year takes concreteform in the opening of the Foscarini Brera Space in Milan and the Foscarini Soho Space in New York. TheseSpaces are not mere showrooms, but rather places which are open to creativity, designed to tell stories andconvey emotions, which will continually house site-specific installations devised by artists and exponents from theinternational creativity scene. Such as Attilio Stocchi, who for the opening of the Space in Milan devised hiswork entitled SEME/SEED, and Stefano Arienti, who prepared an unprecedented installation for the Space inNew York focusing on the theme which is dear to him, namely “Algae”.June 2013www.foscarini.comPress Relations ItalySilvia Rizzi >communicationsTel. +39 02 95330512info@silviarizzicomunicazione.comPress Relations WorldwideFoscariniTel. +39 041 5953811press@foscarini.com
