“Here is a song from the wrong side of town Where I’m bound to the ground by the loneliest sound And it pounds from within and is pinning me down” (Home – Depeche Mode) A place like home and, at the same time, a fantasy place that projects the client faraway. It is conceived as a display cabinet that uses pure elements in order to emphasize each cloth by creating a contrast with the steel structure. This structure both gives light to the main room and folds against the walls becoming a clothes hanger.
Place: Venafro, Italy Year: 2011 Architectural project: Luigi valente Design Team: Cristian Farinella, Lorena Greco Lighting Plan: Luigi valente, Cristian Farinella, Lorena Greco Photo: Stefano Pedretti Client: Salvatore Gagliane The black color underlines the lighting system and creates a balance with the resins that cover both floor and left wall. Each element is used in order to emphasize the objects shown in it. This makes "Home" a unique store of its kind.
