Discovery by Bax from italy
designer's own words:
Curiosity is the desire to know more but also something that can make you wonder. Furthermore curiosity can also be considered an antonym of fear; whenever we approach something new being curious we are more open and we accept more what's different and we try to understand it; in contrast being fearful maybe it will protect ourself but also closes our mind to what's new.
Living in a totally global world this fear could realize itself in the relationship between nations, instead if we could regain and broaden our curiosity we could understand each other culture in better way and live more peacefully.
The Discovery project is thought to address this issue and it's designed in a way that also people on a wheelchair can use it; the handles and a lever makes it easy to use also for people with a reduced hands mobility. Moreover it's an eye that will let you see beyond what's obvious, all the curtains that usually are in front of us; a window that will open everyone's eyes to the world and will bring you miles away even if you cannot travel.
These visual suggestions will leave the viewer a pulse to know more, to question himself about what's unknown, to travel and discover how beautiful and worthy to protect is the world where we live in, to respond their curiosity while provoking more and more curiosity.
