The Echoes series are living furniture for outdoor life made of the Viral Nature biosynthetic material.
We are used to the idea that a ruin is either something it has to be taken care of or something it has to be demolished. Decadence has always been considered a negative condition. What if we could actually design things to purposely become dust? Turn decadence from problematic into auspicable. The aesthetic of the pieces echoes past civilizations: as ruins they perish and crumble, but differently from usual ruins, these are meant to decay and peacefully return to the land. Seasonal objects, they can be destined to parks, natural reserves, or gardens. Every piece of the collection is inspired by artefacts and architectural elements of past civilization that have dominated Sicily throughout history. Their shapes are fascinations from a blurred cultural past.
The objects of the Echoes series behave and interact like living creatures.
Because of their ability to produce life, the audience instantly creates an emotional connection with them, the objects are treated and cared for by the user as animated beings.
The Echoes series foster behavioural change through the generation of sympathetic feelings. These artefacts interact with the human participant through an exercise od eco-consciousness and empathy.
