Ananas Multicolor
Located in Milano, IT
“Il filo conduttore dell'ananas multicolor è la policromia come approccio all'insegna dell'eclettismo e della contaminazione tra artificiale e naturale.
L’ananas multicolor è un simbolo portafortuna che genera un mondo curioso e ironico sospeso tra realtà e finzione.
L’ananas e multicolor è stato realizzato con diverse tecniche e materiali ed esposti in importanti mostre e installazioni:
"Portare colore alla vita”, Newcastle, Sage Gateshead (2013); “Design+Sensibile”, Milano (2018); “Policromia”, mostra personale al palazzo Reale di Santo Domingo (2019).
Massimo Caiazzo (Napoli 1966) è un esperto di progettazione cromatica, che affianca all'esperienza accademica la progettazione “sensibile” della luce e del colore nei settori dell’architettura, del design, della moda e della comunicazione. Presidente di IACC Italia, sede di International Association of Colour Consultant, fondata nel 1957 a Hilversum e citata dalla Fondazione Munsell tra le quattro migliori scuole di colore del mondo.
Docente a tempo indeterminato di Cromatologia presso l'Accademia di Verona dal 2003 al 2015, tiene corsi sul colore nella progettazione presso alla SPD (Scuola Politecnica di Design Milano), alla Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) e alla Domus Academy di Milano. La sua formazione sul colore è iniziata all'Atelier Mendini di Milano (1990-2006), dove ha fatto parte del team guidato dal designer e artista Alessandro Mendini, maestro della policromia.
Allievo di Frank Mahnke e di Narciso Silvestrini, ha seguito i loro insegnamenti sulla natura interdisciplinare del colore e sull'importanza di condividerne la cultura per renderla una risorsa per la riabilitazione del nostro ambiente costruito.
Nel 2021 è stato nominato testimonial del Design Italiano nel modo ed è stato scelto come oratore principale di Color Impact, all’Università di Yale, la più importante conferenza internazionale sul colore dedicata all’ambiente costruito. Ha pubblicato con Silvia Botti il best seller “Abitare i colori” per Vallardi Editore.
AMBITI DI PROGETTAZIONE CROMATICA, ART DIRECTION E DESIGN

- Nautico: Cantieri di Baia (2002); Claus Loewe (2015)
