Supaform Chaise Longue from "Hidden Entourage" Collection
By Supaform
Located in Florence, IT
Russian designer Maxim Scherbakov‘s new exhibition at Rome’s Contemporary Cluster gallery, he pushes that idea to the extreme: What if design could be all about emotion, and little else? His barely functional pieces, and his general conceit, feel uncomfortable at first — we’re not sure we want to live in a world where design is purely an aesthetic indulgence — but in an era when furniture is increasingly difficult to distinguish from art, it does feel in some ways like we already are. And the ornate backdrop of the gallery’s home, the 14th-century Palazzo Brancaccio, serves as a potent reminder that it’s possible we always have.
Maxim Scherbakov, who works under the studio name Supaform, says that he developed the new collection “as a result of a careful visual search for the frontiers of comfort,” seeking to celebrate “beauty for no reason,” he says. His floor lamp has no bulb, his coffee table is too bumpy to hold a glass upright, and his desk has trick drawers and a gap in the middle where its writing surface should be. Yet his various seating elements look no less functional than, say, Rick Owens’s, and Scherbakov has a compelling raison d’etre: Also a longtime painter, he pulled all of the works directly from his canvases, making them a literal elision of the two-dimensional realm and the three. If he can celebrate fantasy and feeling in one of them, he wondered, then why not the other?

Rare Studio BBPR for Olivetti ‘Spazio’ Sideboard in Green Coated Steel
By Olivetti, Studio BBPR
Located in Waalwijk, NL
Studio BBPR for Olivetti, 'Spazio' sideboard, coated steel, plastic, vinyl, Italy, design 1959/60, production 1960s
In 1954, Olivetti, the Italian office equipment manufacturer, hired BBPR to design their New York showroom on Fifth Avenue and to create their first series of office furniture, called Spazio (1959/60). This line included chairs, shelving, cabinet systems, and desks, just like the one shown here. It won the Compasso d'Oro Award in 1962. The cabinet contains compartments with drawers secured on both sides. The top is furnished with dark brown vinyl which adds a sturdy touch the overall industrial appearance.
Studio B.B.P.R. was an Italian architectural partnership founded in Milan in 1932 by Gianluigi Banfi (1910-1945), Lodovico Barbiano di Belgiojoso (1909-2004), Enrico Peressutti (1908-1976) and Ernesto Nathan Rogers (1909-1969) who had studied at the Politecnico di Milano. B.B.P.R. was thus an acronym formed from the first letters of their family names. The architects found each other in their opposition to fascism in Italy in the 1930s and 1940s during Mussolini's autocratic regime. The architects therefore believed in developing a style that would have no references to contemporary politics. During the Second World War, they all joined the resistance. However, Rogers, a Jew, fled to Switzerland and both Belgiojoso and Banfi were deported to the Mauthausen concentration camp in Austria, where Banfi died in 1945. Despite the immense loss of Banfi, their architectural practice continued in the same name as before after...
