BLU
Lodi
discoteque
1997
BLU is a leap into the void, a deep dive without oxygen. It is an obsession that comes from the idea of watching things through a monochrome filter. It is a luminous abstraction with a single frequency that pulsates on freely moving bodies. Silicone blue rain lights sofas in white vinyl produced by Edra, while the central steel bar stands out against the background like a ship that has run aground. Stroboscopic UFOs dance in suspension. Light of Wood filters through a plaster suspended ceiling with fluo paint finish, making the phosphorescent Jacks designed by Tom Dixon glow brightly. Mirrored hemispheres punctuate the wall surfaces, with luminous flows that strike them, breaking up into a thousand drops of light. A work by the street poet Silvestro Sentiero dedicated to the designer becomes a reassuring parapet: ‘Teach me too the freedom of the swallows.
