During Design Week 2022, Lea Ceramiche will encourage the public to discover one of the most fascinating and intimate glimpses of Milan, by visiting an installation that extols its paths and perspectives, by Architect Ferruccio Laviani.

Perspectives will come to life in Giardino dei Platani of the Humanitarian Society of Milan: a green area next to the Cloisters of San Barnaba, a stimulating scenario to depict the beauty, opportunities and innovation conveyed by the ceramic material. Along the walkways of this green space, Laviani envisaged a path through ceramics to investigate the kaleidoscopic perspectives that unfold for architecture.

A sequence of ultra-thin interspersed ceramic slabs creates a sort of perspective telescope achieved through clefts that recall natural ravines where the eyes can reach the bottom.

"I devised an installation halfway between installation and land art, recalling Thomas Demand's 'Grotto' material layering, the pages of Stephen Doyle's sculpted books or, again, the contemporary labyrinth of Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh. A different way of experiencing ceramics, combining minerals and nature, architecture and art, experience and visual perception, through the language of the LEA Ceramiche collections." Ferruccio Laviani.
