This new family of
objects is part of ongoing collaboration with the National Palace Museum in
Taiwan, which began in 2007 with the "Chin Family".
What role has the
Museum played in this project? What form did its involvement take?
In actual fact, it was
coming into close contact with the extraordinary collection of art works and the
National Palace Museum that set Stefano's imagination racing, inspiring him to
explore the millennial tradition of Chinese applied arts and develop his own
contemporary interpretation of them. This interpretation is in keeping with the
playful style of which the designer is an acknowledged master, a characteristic
that, in the designs presented today, takes a new form.
