Bisazza presents the collezione Vincent Darré

At FUORISALONE 2023, BISAZZA will present COLLEZIONE VINCENT DARRÉ, a new series of decorations in glass mosaic born from its first collaboration with French designer and artist, Vincent Darré. The collection will be on display at the #bisazza Milan Flagship Store, via Solferino 22.

Known for his unmistakable style, extravagant, sophisticated, and rich in cultural references and refined irony, Vincent Darré approaches mosaic art for the first time, creating for #bisazza a series of mythological subjects inspired by recurring themes in his imaginative and eclectic universe: Neoclassicism and Surrealism.

The COLLEZIONE VINCENT DARRÉ includes four decorations in glass mosaic – Caryatides, Calliope, Erato and Thalia.

Caryatides, inspired by Neoclassicism, is a pattern composed of six modules featuring three mythological subjects in the form of caryatids - the Deer, the Unicorn, and the Lyre - alternating with architectural elements that resemble the columns of a classical temple.

Available in three color variants - Bleues, Grises and Vertes - Caryatides is crafted using careful and precise handwork. For the background and architectural elements, a digital technique with regular square tiles is employed, while the caryatid figures are brought to life using an artistic "ad andamento" process, in which every single tessera is cut and laid by hand to follow the flow of the #design.

The Calliope, Erato and Thalia decorations are inspired by Darré's love of Surrealism. Created using Bisazza's digital technique, the three patterns are almost like paintings where the tiles are combined according to the same chromatic tone of green, baby blue, yellow, grey, and orange, creating figures which overlap in an unusual way, allowing the imagination to run free. Calliope, Erato and Thalia are a poetic representation of Darré's creative style; a tribute to his inspiring muses.
