18 years have passed since Matteo Ragni and I designed the dormouse, that is the small disposable cutlery in Mater-Bi, characterized by the combination of a fork and spoon in one piece.
> After such a long time, it is surprising how much such a small object, created to satisfy a simple need linked to catering and aperitifs in bars, still generates a lot of interest and affection. I discover our Moscardini in the houses where I was a guest, placed in the box of coarse salt or sugar, a dear friend of mine always carries it with him in his solitary cycling ventures, it's nice to know that we can find it in the permanent collection of Moma and Compasso d'oro, and simultaneously use it at a party for what it is objectively: a serving cutlery. The work of Genesio Pistidda, however, generates a new interpretation of Moscardino: its so simple and iconic shape blends perfectly with the ethnic flavor graphics generated by Genesio. The artist redesigns the skin: real tattoos give a new flavor to the object which, losing every bit of the industrial design world to which it has always belonged, regenerates itself in the art world, lending itself to the game of semantic references, the free interpretation of the author and all that the simple visitor will be able to grasp from the surprising and unprecedented encounter between art, graphics and design.
