Description
Zan-zo, rare table lamp designed by Marco Ferreri for Fontana Arte
Marco Ferreri was born on 26 February 1958 in Imperia, he graduated in 1981 at Politecnico of Milan, the city where he lives and works.
“Simple but lovely!” people tend to say
faced with some simple-looking novelty.
And we realize that these people see
beauty as something very complicated,
difficult, something they couldn’t do
themselves.
When they see something simple, they
think it’s so simple they could
have done it. So the object is considered
beautiful even though it’s simple.
They’re confusing the simple with the
easy because people who think like that
cannot imagine the work involved in
simplifying, in attaining the essence of
forms. In fact the work it takes to simplify
things never appears in the end result; it’s
a work of removing instead of adding.
The work of adding is easy.
Just add whatever comes to mind: colored
dots, colored lines, colored arrows and so
forth. “What a lot of work!” people say.
The work of removing remains invisible.
What has been eliminated, the
superfluous, the redundant, the repetitive
disappears leaving only the essential.
And what remains has its own meaning,
its aesthetic. I hope people will begin to
say: “It’s simple so it’s beautiful! “
