CONTROVERSO

Overview

CONTROVERSO By Antoniolupi

Designer: Paolo Ulian

Type: Freestanding marble washbasin

antoniolupi looks to surprise it’s audience through a new challenge with white Carrara marble, a core material, ancient and multifaceted, interpreted in accordance with the designer Paolo Ulian.‎ Ulian was able to shape the material and reinvent it to create new highly innovative and contemporary objects.‎  After the Introverso basin, Paolo Ulian interprets the marble in a more sophisticated way.‎ Technology meets nature, evolution keeps memory alive, the project allows you to tell a story.‎ The form is generated by subtraction as in a sculpture, ancient and contemporary at the same time.‎ Matter, the oldest, meets modern technology to perpetrate the water ritual.‎ The drop that draws on the surface concentric shapes now "digging" the matter irregularly but perfect at the same time.‎ Perfect cuts, mechanical milling, the ability to extract from matter its essence through the comparison of perfect surfaces and linear geometries.‎ Controverso springs from a thought, from action and transforms the product into an experience.‎ A marble block is crossed by the milling machine and then interpreted by man to create different shapes.‎ A proposal that comes from respect for nature shared by Paolo Ulian and antoniolupi, a path with marble in different collections that fit into a path traced by masters that have always interpreted this noble material.‎ Controverso is a marble monolith of geometrical shape, squared, which is processed to detonate all its inherent strength.‎ A strong and delicate gesture at the same time, an interpretation of the creative act that meets production, a sink that fits into contemporary environments but also in different contexts.‎
