Xenia

Artigiano: Figini furniture
dal greco, riassume il concetto dell’ospitalità.
Partendo dalle mani aperte, come simbolo più alto di ospitalità, “Xenia” si pone come un oggetto la cui volontà principale e’ Accogliere, Ospitare e Porgere, in ricordo di una società che ormai non esiste più, e in attesa di ritornare ad un mondo capace di aprirsi all’altro accogliendolo nella propria vita, quale altro momento, se non a tavola, intorno ad un tavolo, si può godere della convivialità?
In questo progetto si è voluto eliminare angoli e spigoli, tutto in nome della curva e del cerchio, curva che abbraccia dolcemente e che fa sentire al sicuro, cerchio che rende il conoscersi un momento privo di classificazioni e il tavolo, come una livella, mette tutti, con semplicità, sullo stesso piano.
