Matter and Shape Paris with Very Simple: Kitchen
For our debut at MATTER and SHAPE, the Paris design salon, we present Gioielleria together with Very Simple: Kitchen — an exhibition concept conceived by the design duo Finemateria that explores the aesthetic value of industrial beauty as both research and expression.
At the centre of the installation is the Very Simple: Kitchen system, transformed into an elegant stage hosting ten elements, taps and technical components selected from our catalogue. Removed from their usual context, these parts are presented as precious artefacts — industrial jewels that reveal the hidden complexity and precision typically concealed within everyday products.
An integral part of the project is Gioiello, a previously unpublished collection of stainless-steel objects designed by Finemateria, marking our collaboration with Very Simple: Kitchen. Developed around shared values of metal craftsmanship, precision engineering and formal research, the collection translates the know-how of both companies into a series of sculptural tableware pieces.
Gioiello comprises eight objects for the mise-en-place, generated from research into the two-dimensional graphic language of lace and decorative embroidery found on early-twentieth-century table linens. These ornamental patterns guide the laser cutting of the steel plates, giving shape to multi-purpose trays, raised centrepieces, fruit baskets and a butter knife. Conceived for sharing, the objects encourage collective gestures and moments of exchange at the table.
We will be glad to welcome you at Booth T25.
