The Atelier “Space and retail design”, headed by designer Claudio Colucci, offered students in Interior architecture (Bachelor, second and third year) an immersion in the universe of rituals, specifically the one of the Japanese tea ceremony. The sensory aspect had a great importance here: taste, touch, feel, see, hear. How to intensify, multiply, transcend senses ? How to create a poly-sensory experience and a new tasting gesture through a scenario?
Students have created tea houses inspired by the Japanese culture; sometimes playful, sometimes contemplative, but always resolutely contemporary.
Models produced by the students will be exhibited at the Baur Foundation from March 31 to April 9, 2017 in a scenography designed and realized by students themselves. The scenography is called TAKE A WALK. The idea is to invite visitors to travel into the Japanese culture. The staging is composed of several clustered modules that recreate a forest, through which the public will be able to wander while discovering the models.
