Vestigia
VESTIGIA is a new initiative intertwining the worlds of collectible design and contemporary art. Expressing the deep links between objects, places, and people, VESTIGIA aims to create synergies and support the connection between the world of craftsmanship, Italian designers, and the Tuscan region.
Hosted at the magnificent Villa Marie and curated by designer Jonathan Bocca, the exhibition Design in a Real World is the first project promoted by VESTIGIA.
Design in a Real World celebrates the connection between design and the Tuscan territory, a destination from which many of the participating designers originate, and one historically synonymous with a rich craftsmanship legacy. As evoked by the exhibition’s title, the territory – the ‘real world’ – is contrasted with the constructed, artificial, and often frenetic identity of the city and industrial design. The exhibition, therefore, focuses on a slower, localised, and more reflective artisanal perspective that characterises both the designers’ works and life outside the populated urban centres.
