FREE is the result of a collaboration between YALI Glass and the New York-based design firm Charlap Hyman & Herrero (CHH). It is a graphic landscape of surreal proportions where works in glass, metal and wood by YALI, and works in paper and plastic by CHH, appear adrift in a limitless bath of red felt. Inside, the compression of the vitrine is relieved by an atmospheric frieze and ceiling of clouds and arrows - clad in a wallpaper by CHH - which complete the microcosm. Tables like lakes, chairs like mountains, wall-mounted clothing hooks like cat’s eyes, an over-scaled shell, illuminated on the floor, dot this miniature universe, where the relationship between the natural state of materials and their hand-wrought forms is as slippery as the boundaries of the space are legible.
As part of The Italian Glass Weeks, FREE will be open to the public from the 17th to the 24th of September (excluding Sunday).
