>> A tavern at no cost

Filling a space with objects it already had but with a new reconfiguration to give it a new identity and morphology.


In the summer of 2017, looking at an old garage, I realized how little that space was valued and, at the same time, how much "richness" was found inside. So I decided to design a "zero cost" tavern. The motto "zero cost" accompanied the entire cycle of realization of the room. Having agreed on the style of the environment, I aimed at a formal consistency of furniture, trying to minimize waste. I therefore used the "ready-made" technique to give new identity to those objects that would otherwise have become garbage and, at the same time, to satisfy practical needs. In other words, to fulfill the conceptual image of "tavern" (created in my mind), some elements were missing, so I used others, in order to create the "missing pieces". Vice versa, other objects would have seemed too much in the new environment (this is the case of the demijohn represented on the side), so I gave them new functions and identity, with the intent not to throw them away and make them aesthetically pleasing and consistent with all the other pieces of furniture present.
