Fuksas: Object

Book excerpt: The work of Massimiliano and Doriana Fuksas enjoys a well-earned reputation for the artistic talent it expresses and for its capacity to surprise with the most risky and spectacular projects. With offices in Rome, Paris and Shenzen, the Fuksases have completed projects of contrasting scales and typologies: airports, theatrical scenographies, urban planning, large infrastructure, housing projects… This companion book to Fuksas Building features works by the studio which are focused on product design, interior design, scenography, furniture and jewelry. Perhaps the less known aspect of Fuksas' work, their product design emphasizes a natural condition in changing scales, materials and uses. Research is also very present behind every piece. The richly illustrated projects include the Armani stores, the Alessi collection and the furniture for Haworth Castelli, among many others.
