The collection rethinks how to make use of materials left over from the industrial production of sofas and stuffings. Made of soft polyurethane, each piece features a unique pattern due to the production process, which involves marbling different colours of polyurethane together and pressing the form until set.

Also on show at the exhibition will be a range of expressive pictures exploring the process of making the pieces. These are part of the personal research made by Milan-based photographer Emanuele Zamponi, who has studied the world of Italian craft in his work since 2009.
