marco piva: bulgari window display

‘bulgari window display’ by marco piva

in italian designer marco piva’s project for bulgari, one feels that the soft, realistic shapes of the exhibition elements have a clear artistic reference to the portraits by modigliani, with the sublimely beautiful women’s necks and faces suspended in an eternal moment of elegance and expressed through the brilliance of ceramics and thin metallic shelf supports and light sources as if it were molten gold.

the materials selected for the window dressing are metals, woods and ceramics embellished through the use of refined techniques, the result of a millennium of unequaled craftsmanship made current with the latest technologies. tubular elements supporting the lamps and the shelves are made from a special aluminum alloy whose surface has been treated with a finish of sparkling gold, the gleaming color of luxury and class.lacquered wood has been used to create the shelving to reflect and diffuse the light in the exhibition space.
