NARRAZIONI INTRECCIATE
In occasion of Fuorisalone 2024 the designers Draga & Aurel enter Visionnaire’s Wunderkammer with an intertwined narrative: a game of role exchanges between art and design, where the power of colors and painterly gestures illuminates the walls guiding the immersive journey among collectible design objects.
In a special edition, the Aries armchair is upholstered with a new woven fabric that reinterprets Aurel K. Basedow’s paintings. In the Muse screen, Aurel’s painting is composed and decomposed: the layering, dear to the artist in his creative process, is entrusted to a play of printed organza that in movement seems to reproduce the gesture of painting. Research is a fundamental aspect of Draga & Aurel’s creative journey, and for this project, they revisit two of their iconic pieces with interweaving new materials. The Lego console is reintroduced with a marble top associated with metal, replacing the concrete used in the previous model, while the Elysium table shows contrasting geometries and refined textures. Completing the installation is the Tessa room divider: a cascade of colors that seem to dissolve among interweaving geometries, lights, and transparencies.

Designer
I worked for a long time as a textile designer in fashion, and fabrics are my first love: it was natural to imagine bringing Aurel’s works onto fabric, so powerful and with kinetic force.
