Federico GRECA SD Chair Coated fabric and wood Limited edition of 10 pieces. Year of design: 2024 H75 W48 D52 cm Studio Greca When encountering Federico Greca’s Move collection, one’s first instinct is to run one’s fingertips over the drape of the coated black fabric covering the pieces, so glossy that it appears liquid. Combining echoes of the Renaissance with references to various aspects of contemporary culture, this furniture collection was born of an intuition: whilst moving house, the designer noticed how all the furniture and objects, wrapped in cellophane for protection, took on a neutral and almost abstract appearance, suddenly becoming a pure form, an essential design. The pieces in the collection (tables, chairs and a mirror) evoke this precise moment, which is both real and symbolic. The uniqueness of the final piece is the result of an experimental production process involving in-depth research into materials and object creation, aimed at recapturing the power of the initial inspiration whilst ensuring the durability and impeccable craftsmanship of the range. Particular mention should be made of the excellent results achieved in the application of the complex and consistently original textile covering, as well as in the construction of the coffee table’s frame—which appears unstable only at first glance—and the stool, which highlights the ironic aspect of the entire project. What looks in every respect like an industrial metal bin, with its black bag sticking out, is in fact a bar stool designed down to the smallest detail, from the joinery to the light reflected by a small mirror concealed beneath the lid. An interesting detail: each piece in the Move collection comes with an identification label – just as one would find during a real house move – which in this case contains essential information about the collectable piece. It is a balancing act, both in the reality of the objects and in the underlying theory, where the philosophy of form meets the ethics of function, and where refined Italian craftsmanship – here, exquisitely Piedmontese – becomes a universal language precisely because of its distinctive tension between past and present, which is typically local. The result is an intimate, evocative and captivating aesthetic experience, the meaning of which is destined to be recognised even by people who are far apart and very different from one another.
