In the heart of your sacred space, there resides a timeless masterpiece—a magnificent wooden Buddha sculpture that whispers secrets of the ages. Crafted with utmost devotion, this ethereal creation is believed to have its roots in the mystic lands of Burma, dating back to the 19th or perhaps even the early 20th century. As you gaze upon it, you'll find yourself transported through the corridors of history. This remarkable Buddha, a harmonious blend of two distinct eras, is a testament to the enduring spirit of artistry. Its features evoke echoes of a bygone era, the Pagan period, a time when devotion was expressed through the chisel and the keen eye of a master sculptor. The small, delicate mouth seems to whisper ancient wisdom, while the wide forehead exudes an aura of profound contemplation. The narrow waist and the gently rounded shoulders and chest reveal the artistry's meticulous attention to detail, capturing the essence of a bygone Burmese sculptural style. Seated in the full lotus position, the Buddha exudes an aura of tranquility that permeates every inch of your room. His right hand gracefully rests upon his knee, cradling a precious myrobalan fruit...

Installazione Policroma di Massimo Caiazzo, un'interpretazione contemporanea e sostenibile di Madre Natura, simbolo di delicatezza che accoglie generosamente tutti gli esseri. Un pezzo unico composto da una scultura stampata in 3D in filo PLA di acido polilattico, (un materiale ecosostenibile derivato dall'amido di mais eco-compostabile) e dipinta a mano collocata su una base in PVC sagomato. Completano l'installazione le riproduzioni di sei diagrammi originali dell'Archivio Mendini stampati su tessuto e montati su basi di metallo. Una straordinaria testimonianza dell'indimenticabile maestro Alessandro Mendini che racconta con poesia la nostra fragilità. Madre Natura è stata esposta al Fuori Salone di Milano nell'aprile 2023 presso la "Fabbrica del Vapore" Nell'ambito della manifestazione Design+Sensibile. Una figura femminile in contemplazione celebra la vita, la sua forza e la sua fragilità attraverso la bellezza di tutti i colori del mondo. 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.
