DECORATIVE ART
DECORATIVE ART collection by COLLECTIONAL Dubai
Salvatori
The Village is inspired by Gabriele Salvatori’s wish to explore the concept of home within the context of today’s global society and reinterpret it through the medium of design, whilst addressing fundamental themes of contemporary living. To recreate the rich and diverse structure of a typical village, we invited a select group of designers from around the world to share their idea of home, each bringing their own inimitable combination of outlooking, culture and background. The result is a fascinating and wonderfully eclectic collection of miniature houses, that, like the global village we inhabit, reflect an extraordinary array of styles and approaches. What links them, however, is the use of natural stone, that enduring and beloved material that has been used since time memorial to construct buildings, art and monuments that provide refuge and inspiration for mankind. From the very first rudimentary dwellings of cavemen and women, it has protected and enveloped us, the very same characteristics we still look for today when we choose our home, our haven. Designers such as Rodolfo Dordoni, Kengo Kuma, Elisa Ossino, John Pawson, Patricia Urquiola, Vincent Van Duysen and Yabu Pushelberg accepted our challenge, each contributing their precious and unique interpretation of the concept of home, expressed in a miniature piece of very special and absolutely original architecture. The Village is a natural continuation of Salvatori’s commitment to reinventing the concept of home décor by developing pieces that express “home” as a holistic experience that touches all our senses and nurtures our soul.
Marco Guazzini
Two unique pieces inspired by the pure geometries of the remains of two Yemeni temples from the 7th century BC. The wool marblings, forced to break off in clean cuts along corners, emphasize the objects' three-dimensionality and materiality. A Production of objects in limited edition and unique pieces dedicated to Marwoolus, an innovative material conceived and realized by Marco Guazzini designer. Unique for its nature: it's made of marble and wool, which natural fibers reproduce the typical veinings in a not replicable way.

Gravity Zodiac, designed by Salvatori Design Center, is a homage to the extraordinary capacity of natural stone to transmit an energy that changes with every person with whom it comes into contact. We set about harnessing that in a meaningful way that would resonate with whoever held it in their hands. The result is the Gravity Zodiac collection of twelve spheres, each associated with a sign of the zodiac, its ruling planet, and a stone and, consequently, a particular energy. To accentuate the association with the planets, each sphere was designed to rotate on a bronze base in a recreation of the motion of heavenly bodies. The idea behind the collection is to create a realignment with the energy of the ruling planet by revisiting the different celestial spheres through the characteristics of each star and its corresponding zodiac sign. Collection available in following: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces.

‘A few years ago I saw an acorn vase by Estrid Ericson, produced by Svenskt Tenn. I loved the simple poetry of an object of that nature, growing a single acorn. It was the hope for early spring, especially coming from a country with such heavy and dark winters. I became obsessed with the simple idea of suspending a seed on the surface of the water, submerged. Just the right level for it to germinate, with the possibility of it supporting itself in the absence of soil, allowing it to stand upright; exposed, all in clear view.’ The series consists of seven different models to be positioned over a drinking glass of your choice, each designed to suit a specific seed or stone.
Christopher Duffy
Duffy casts his gaze into the heart of ancient ocean depths to dream up a dramatic Wall Sculpture, creating an Abyssal art piece that instantly put you in mind to stories of a flat earth, introducing the majesty of the deep blue to the interior, and an Abyss that gazes back.
Jamie Harris
Infusion sculptures are made by using the Italian-trained techniques of layering and banding multiple colored bubbles of glass as a way to generate washes of sensuous, painterly color in a kiln-cast solid mass. Jamie invented a process to create these sculptures, beginning by creating the colored motifs as bubbles of blown glass that are transformed into groups of solid-glass, which are finally cast into blocks and carved and polished into the final shape. So much of the fabrication of these pieces is invested in the science of prediction: anticipating how the color of a bubble blown at the furnace will dilute days later when cast as a solid object, forecasting how fields will distort and move as elements are joined in the casting. These pieces are stop-motion reinterpretations of the traditional Italian-glass “incalmo” format, tracking in place the flowing movement of molten glass, capturing the subtle gradation from a whisper of transparent color to a saturated intensity.
