  • Natuzzi Open Art Collection by Sculptor Giacomo Benevelli
    Benvenuti a casa. The land we come from is our first home. Italy - and in particular our region, Apulia - is the source of inspiration that has always guided our choices and our success throughout the world. The colours of the sun and the olive trees, the hospitality and warmth of the people, the value of ancient traditions: these are the roots of our story and the foundations of our Italian heritage. A heritage that is authentically “Made in Italy”, which can be seen in our actions and our commitment to our customers: certified quality, direct control over the entire production chain and a code of ethics for our partners and suppliers. This is what we call the value chain. A chain of quality and passion for what we do, a voyage that has taken us all over the world but which starts here, in our land, every day. 3 Each model comes from “ our Style Centre, the group’s creative heart. The search for harmony is our mission and inspires every move we make.” A team of over 100 architects, designers, colourists and interior decorators work within the Natuzzi Style Centre. Every sofa, lamp, piece of furniture and accessory begins here. First come the shapes, the sizes and the proportions, then the colours and materials, selected only after carefully studying the latest trends in fashion, design 4 and customers’ needs. 6 The most emotional “moment is when the idea takes shape and what we had imagined finally unfolds before our eyes. ” It is the moment of truth in the prototypes area.

    NOTTE DELLE ARTI CONTEMPORANEE A TORINO: INIZIATIVE E MOSTRE 24 ORE SU 24 DI SABATO 8 NOVEMBRE | DI PAOLO DI PASQUALE 3 novembre, 2008 di Paolo Di Pasquale inserito in approfondimenti, arti visive 493 lettori Notte delle Arti Contemporanee Torino Piemonte, sabato 8 novembre 2008. Vari sono gli eventi, le aperture speciali,le mostre, le inaugurazioni in questa nuova “notte bianca”: una 24 ore su 24 all’insegna della cultura e dell’intrattenimento “intelligente” organizzato da istituzioni, gallerie, fondazioni pubbliche e private. La kermesse è promossa dall’Amministrazione comunale torinese, dalla Provincia e dalla Regione Piemonte. “L’intuizione di aver creato, negli anni scorsi, un periodo nel quale far coesistere iniziative ed eventi legati sia alla produzione visiva, sia a quella musicale e teatrale, si è rivelata vincente e ha contribuito in modo notevole a fare di Torino e del Piemonte una delle realtà più dinamiche e propositive del territorio nazionale, oltre che diventare, per cittadini e turisti, un appuntamento molto atteso”: questo ci dissero organizzatori e promotori lo scorso anno, alla prima edizione di Contemporary Arts Torino Piemonte.Questa successiva tappa vuole bissare la precedente ma, probabilmente, si svolgerà, almeno per quel che sino ad oggi vediamo e la stessa Comunicazione palesa, leggermente in crisi per l’austerity che ha colpito tutto il Paese e non solo… Sarà comunque un’ottima occasione di visitare mostre, collezioni permanenti,di assistere a spettacoli musicali e teatrali, di vedere film di autori emergenti

Il nucleo centrale dell’annuale rassegna è curato, anche quest’anno, dal critico d’arte Elio Grazioli, con l’apporto di numerosi esponenti del panorama intellettuale italiano ed europeo, Laura Serani, Gabi Scardi, Madeleine Millot-Durrenberger, Melina Mulas, Giovanna Calvenzi, Adriana Polveroni,, Paola Borgonzoni Ghirri, Daniele De Luigi, Annarosa Buttarelli, Vanni Codeluppi, Nicola Dusi, Antonello Frongia, Riccardo Panattoni. La manifestazione è promossa dal Comune di Reggio Emilia, in collaborazione con il Ministero per i Beni e le Attività Culturali - PARC Direzione generale per la qualità e la tutela del paesaggio, l’architettura e l’arte contemporanea, la Regione Emilia Romagna, la Provincia di Reggio Emilia, la Camera di Commercio di Reggio Emilia e la Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio Pietro Manodori. L’edizione di quest’anno, dedicata all’Eternità, affronta come tema la questione del tempo nell’immagine fotografica. La fotografia ha infatti un rapporto alquanto particolare e speciale con il tempo: essa ha mostrato per la prima volta all’uomo l’istante reale, il presente, fissato in immagine, ma, appena fatto, quel momento è già passato, lasciando una sensazione strana nell’osservatore.
