Jacopo Foggini, the master of methacrylate.
Born among his father's industrial machinery and his mother's wax sculptures, Turinese designer Jacopo Foggini experiments with unconventional design, making methacrylate, an apparently rigid and unattractive material, the absolute protagonist. Light transparencies and intense shades of color give life to functional furnishings with a retro soul, capable of defining with precision Foggini's creative style, who signs for Edra some iconic objects, such as the Gina and Ella chairs. Resin is shaped to become art.
Unione di lucentezza e grazia, la seduta Gina incanta sempre per il suo carattere prezioso e ricercato. E’ inclusa nella collezione di sedie progettate da Jacopo Foggini per il brand Edra e, insieme a Ella, è probabilmente la rappresentazione più evidente della sapiente artigianalità del “maestro del metacrilato”. Ogni esemplare, unico e inevitabilmente differente, si basa su un intreccio laborioso di fili di policarbonato, lavorati quasi come se fosse un ricamo. Le sfumature cangianti dei diversi colori disponibili rendono la seduta moderna ed eccentrica, perfetta per arredare gli ambienti domestici.
At first glance, the Sneeze pendant lamp may seem to be made entirely of glass. It was actually created by the designer by exploiting the lightness and total transparency of polycarbonate. Small curvilinear elements merge to create a sensual and original shape. Jacopo Foggini designs lamps that seem to turn into beautiful luminous sculptures.
The A'mare chair, conceived by Jacopo Foggini for Edra, exalts the purity of methacrylate, showing how this material can be simple, linear and clean in its forms, while hypnotic in its substance, perfect for expressing a new compositional language. Water solidifies into precious objects that fully reflect its transparencies and fluid movement, altering its look when lit by sunlight and revealing the imperfections of its surface, left irregular on purpose. Many polycarbonate slats come together to create an iridescent, light and comfortable piece of furniture, perfect for decorating any setting with elegance. Foggini's complete collection also includes an armchair, a bench, a lounger and a table.
