The Brera Design Apartment of Zanellato Bortotto at Fuorisalone 2025
A line crosses the various environments: sometimes it is more clear, other more nuanced, it can follow the sweet profile of a sand dune or the irregular slope of a volcano. Are the different horizons that Giorgia Zanellato And Daniele Bortotto they decided to bring with them between the rooms of the Brera Design Apartmentproject-manifesto who have created with the collaboration of several companies, including Bolzan, Artecasa and Botteganove, main partner of the event.
« Try to look for the word ‘horizons’ in your phone, you will be surprised by the quantity of images you will find, » the designers suggest while accompanying us among the rooms of the apartment on the third floor of a early twentieth century building of Via Palermorevealed a few days in advance of the beginning of the Design Week. « Looking at the horizon, photographing it, is something that we all do without almost realizing it, we started from a series of images to give new life to the space ».
Open only by invitation during the Fuorisalone and by appointment from 2 to 25 May (info@brerdesignation.com), the Orizzonti project It is a cross -section on the work of the two creatives, founders Studio Zanellato Bortotto, who draw on their newspaper e reinterpret the various environments starting from a series of landscapes, Photographed during travel or fixed in the memory, reworking them in the form of furnishings, finishes or coverings. Thus, the movement of the Venetian channels can create a wooden furniture with a wavy surface, the ‘Barene’ they become a wall covered with small tiles and the ‘Caìgo’, The dense fog typical of the lagoon inspires a wallpaper with impalpable shades.
And from the city of Veniceplace of the heart, the gaze moves to other horizons: the countryside in the summer photographed by Luigi Ghirri with the greenish yellow of the grass burnt by the sun inspire the entrance, i Fire sunsets of Namibia that we find in the bedroom, i Lunar landscapes of Etna who decorate the walls of the bathroom and, finally, the corridor wrapped in the deep blue which represents the view from a plane in flight, with a bright portal that symbolically opens towards another dimension.
To complete the rooms, a series of Books, objects and souvenirs that Giorgia Zanellato and Daniele Bortotto chose among those present in their home, together with the works of art of contemporary artists such as Giuditta Verdrame, Laura Sans Gassó And Francesco Pedrini and a beautiful selection of pieces from Luisa delle Piane Gallery. Between sculptures by Andrea Branzi, Ingo Maurer and Lisa Ponti, there is our favorite piece: the arc en ciel lamp Of Andrea Bellosi. Could a rainbow projected on the ceiling be missing from all these skies?
