HOTEL CHIMERA - Ceramic work of art by FLORIM stone
finishes > Wall tile-stone-brick
Description
A variety of elements of different origin and nature which, combined together, create a unique ceramic work of almost 20 square metres that reinterprets the ‘Hotel Chimera’ illustration. An original artistic expression consisting of a puzzle of 80 different fragments, each one a work in its own right, a piece numbered and signed by hand, one by one, by Elena Salmistraro. For Milan Design Week, CEDIT is presenting a capsule collection that is highly expressive and symbolic – distinctive hallmarks of the Milanese designer –, as well as being beneficial for society by supporting a social sustainability project. The first ceramic company to be a Benefit Corporation and the only one in the world to be B Corp Certified, Florim sustainably strives to benefit both the planet and the community by carrying out concrete actions, including of a humanitarian nature. Through this work, CEDIT, a ‘made in Florim’ brand, communicates a charitable message that sums up its core values – Culture, Ethics, Design, Identity, and Talent – in line with the Group’s corporate commitment. The revenues from the sale of the individual pieces of the work will fund an inclusive project to aid access to the world of art and mainly aimed at blind children. The ceramic work designed by Elena Salmistraro reprises – both graphically and symbolically – the theme of the installation created in 2020 in Spazio CEDIT. Just like the Chimera – whose body in Greek mythology was composed of parts from different animals – this 480x400 cm work is made up of 80 different 40x60 cm ceramic elements that together reinterpret the ‘Hotel Chimera’ illustration, presented this time by the designer in two new colours that divide the design into mirror-image halves. The result is a large jigsaw puzzle made up of unique pieces. “The Chimera project is perfectly placed between art and industry. And with greater strenght in this opportunity, the Hotel Chimera installation opens to the outside, breaking up into slab/painting and becoming the perfect filter between imagination and reality." – explains Elena Salmistraro. During Milan Design Week, the reproduction of the work (which accurately replicates the original design and size) features in the installation of the same name at Spazio CEDIT in Faro Buonaparte 14. The installation, located in the pedestrian area in front of the showroom, is very striking: the ‘Hotel Chimera’ work is framed by a temporary structure and bordered on the ground by signs that recall the
