Mendini/Bisazza

Large-scale mosaic sculptures celebrate years of design collaboration
menbiz1.jpg

On the occasion of Milan’s ongoing Design Week, Bisazza pays homage to Alessandro Mendini with an exhibition at La Triennale di Milano. In celebration of more than twenty years of collaboration between the Italian mosaic tile company and the design master, the display features large-size works and installations from the Fondazione Bisazza and a loan from the Fondation Cartier in Paris.

Over the years, Bisazza and Alessandro Mendini have shared a creative dialogue stemming from a cultural and aesthetic affinity that have resulted in several works of art and installations. Curated and designed by Atelier Mendini, the more than 400-square-meter exhibit gathers iconic and gigantic sculptures, mostly covered with golden mosaic.

On the occasion of the exhibition, the book “Mosaico Mendini,” written by Stefano Casciani and published by Skira Editore, has been launched. The volume aims to trace all works designed by Mendini with Bisazza mosaics, including those commissioned by others, such as the Torre del Paradiso (Tower of Paradise) of Hiroshima, the Groninger Museum, and the metro lines in Naples.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden 1

Argentinian architects Adamo-Faiden have completed a club house in the middle of a lake near Buenos Aires.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

Containing a gym, spa and bar, the pill-shaped structure is connected to the shore by a semi-circular walkway.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

The mosaic-clad club house serves a gated community called La Cándida, where the architects have already built a community centre. See our previous story.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

Here’s some more information from the architects:


La Cándida is a gated community built at the border of a route that links Buenos Aires to the seaside resorts of the Atlantic coast.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

The property is axially aligned with an artificial lake, a semicircular portion of land at its extreme west became the area of intervention.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

Confronting these conditions the project proposes two simultaneous actions: the augmentation of the lake and the construction of a pavilion isolated in its interior.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

The two actions intend to invert the inertia of each element in order to become fused with the emergence of an experience specific to this new scenery.

La Cándida by Adamo-Faiden

Alongside the programs that configure the building – gym, bar and spa – the club house has an integrating vocation that aspires to dissolve the limits of its prints, inviting each individual to increase their relationships where it seems impossible to do so.
