About the Item

The research project dedicated to Play with fire enamel on copper, realised by Incalmi together with the Treviso-based studio Zanellato/Bortotto, presented at the last exhibition of Doppia Firma, the Fondazione Cologni project dedicated to the dialogue between high craftsmanship and design during the Milan Design Week, Play with fire is the name that Incalmi and Zanellato/Bortotto have given to their joint research on fire enamel on copper, a decorative technique made great by masters such as Ettore Sottsass and Gio Ponti. As simple to describe as it is complex to achieve, it consists of subjecting a copper object covered in glass powder to a high-temperature firing to make it acquire unexpected colours and brilliance. The complexity lies in the unpredictability of the result, due both to the use of fire - unpredictable by nature - and to the fact that the knowledge of this technique in the field of object making has been almost completely lost, kept alive only by a few enthusiasts. The pieces created by Incalmi and Zanellato/Bortotto - the Specola lamp inspired by astronomical research, to which plates, handles, hangers and wall sconces are added - are characterised by abstract explosions of colour and vibrant hues, all the more fascinating when one considers that they are born from the combination of the skill of the enameller's hands and the unpredictable action of fire. As Annalisa Rosso writes in the volume presenting the project Play with fire, published on the occasion of the exhibition Doppia Firma: "Chronometer in hand, (literally, because a few fractions of a second make all the difference in the reactions of a piece of copper covered in glassy powders cooked in an oven at over 850°), the designers and craftsmen reinvented the process together, advancing by empirical evidence". Incalmi has been working on enamel on copper for some time; the aim is not only to recover a lost technique, but also to produce high-end pieces that are repeatable in size and colour, where the uniqueness lies in the craftsmanship.
