replay and the fondazione claudio buziol presented the project ‘unbroken’, an istallation produced by two young designers of zaven, marco zavagno and enrica cavarzan, who founded the studio in 2004 in marghera, venice. zaven carries out research into the crossover between communication, design and art, creating projects for graphics, product and exhibition.

unbroken is a design collection produced using 3M scotchcast™ plus technology–fibreglass material used in orthopaedics as an alternative to traditional plaster, now applied to design by unbroken. the project starts with pre-existing forms and provides a new version and vision of them. it blends, unites and covers available objects, which are then removed, leaving the visible traces. unbroken is a metaphor for the invisible man, a man without content and an object without structure.
