How did a team of Italian designers from 13ricrea produce creature comfort for the living room from old PVC nautical equipment? A German sculptor and his ‘Fat Chair’ were an inspiration.
“Joseph Beuys was a great artist,” says designer Ingrid Taro. ‘”He really pushed through a new concept about materials, the idea that nothing is trash. It’s a simple suggestion that nature gives us every day.”
It took exactly 13 meeting and a lot of talent from Ingrid, Angela Mensi and Cristina Merlo to recreate furnishings from industrial nautical scraps. Thus their company name: 13ricrea.
