Reinterpreted with a contemporary look, Studio Irvine and Massimo Nadalini have created new projects using the M+ Mosaics historical collections.
Confetti, A-Maze and Freckles are the newly-interpreted mosaic collections that further the goals of M+ to explore new materials, shapes and dimensions, collaborating over the years with important names in the world of design. These new creations are part of a larger project – Reworked – dedicated to a reinterpretation of M+ Mosaic lines. Through Reworked, M+ entrusts its traditional materials to different designers, in which each designer is called to reinterpret them and to use them to create new graphic compositions.
CONFETTI, design Massimo Nadalini
“The richness of the range of colours and the materiality of the mosaic pushed me to play. I started from natural chromatic bases and imagined to insert colour segments”. This is how Massimo Nadalini, designer and art director of M+, presents his line CONFETTI. CONFETTI consists of 4 sheets, enriched with segments of different shapes and colours. The random laying of the same sheets forms a seemingly random pattern that is, in fact, the result of an organised chaos.
A-MAZE, design Studio Irvine
A-MAZE designed by Studio Irvine starts from research on ancient Roman decorations. A composition of chips rich in history that allows a regular or random pose depending on the desired effect, thus creating real visual mazes.
FRECKLES, design Studio Irvine
The seemingly random and irregular composition of chips finds its full expression in FRECKLES, the other collection from Studio Irvine. At the heart of the project there are the small coloured fragments set on a monochrome base. This detail emphasises the modularity of the mosaic and defines the very character of FRECKLES. A slight rotation of these fragments is sufficient to give the composition a random effect.
