Limited Edition 2006
April 2006 at the Triennale di Milano
PensieriVasiPoesie
In 2006 the exhibition PensieriVasiPoesie tells the international public of the Salone del Mobile in Milan about the new research path undertaken by the Numa brand.
Three new collections were born from this path: the collection of pewter architectures Tredicivasi, designed by Mario Botta; the collection Delle segrete, silenziose lacrime, title of the collection of six poems dedicated to the project by Mario Luzi and composed of a delicate, light book in hand-bound Japanese paper and a tear-shaped goblet in Murano glass, designed for those verses by Ettore Sottsass; the collection Ospiti della vita, which presents the essay of the same name by the philosopher Remo Bodei, rendered as a small hand-bound book-manifesto, 10 metres long, for which Michele De Lucchi and Giuseppe Rivadossi created two special cases, in leather and aluminium, and in wood.
The exhibition, open at the Triennale di Milano from 5 to 10 April 2006, was completed by the retrospective of Numa’s Limited Edition collections, gathered in a bookcase-wall that presented at the entrance the editions of past years, signed by Giuseppe Rivadossi and Ettore Sottsass: small series and limited print runs, some of them now impossible to find.
