INTERNI NEW YORK HUMAN SPACES

On the occasion of NYCxDESIGN (New York, 10th to 22nd May 2019), INTERNI and the Consulate General of Italy in New York are organizing New York Human Spaces, an event that focuses on the relationship and synergies that exist in design and architecture between Italy and the United States.The protagonists of the evening, introduced by Consul General Francesco Genuardi and the Editor-in-chied of the Interni Magazine Gilda Bojardi, will be: Mario Cucinella, the Italian designer most committed to the theme of eco-sustainability, who will speak about the ethical value of the project; Pasquale Junior Natuzzi, Chief Marketing & Communications Officer as well as Creative Director for Natuzzi who, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of his family business, will illustrate the new eco-oriented choices of the brand; Piero Lissoni, art director and designer of some of the most important all-Italian design brands, who will tell his experience as art director of Sanlorenzo, the first shipyard in the world for yachts longer than 30 meters; Adam D. Tihany, interior designer with a studio in New York and creative director for Costa Crociere, who will present the latest design and sustainable choices of the historic cruise line company; Jeffrey Beers, who will speak about his recent contract projects, focusing his attention on the value of “genius loci” in his interior architectural interventions. The meeting moderator will be Federico Rampini, journalist and author, correspondent in New York for the daily newspaper La Repubblica.

DEBATE TOPICS: THE NEW CODES OF CONTEMPORARY LIVING

Stability and mobility are the two main themes linked to the world of living. The relationship between settling places and transit places has never been so connected and permeable. Thanks to new technologies, the house, that used to be a middle-class fixed place, has become a more fluid and dynamic space, a multifunctional environment ready to accommodate the many activities of contemporary living. In this sense, today architecture has become an expression of these languages, preparing innovative formal solutions and typologies. This is true also for the so-called ‘other spaces’, places intended for travel and movement, which take the home as their model and get hold of it. This phenomenon has produced major changes in transit and travel places, since quick displacement sometimes turns into a slow-motion experience.A formal and typological metamorphosis that has occurred particularly in the nautical industry with large cruise ships, which are now imposing floating hotels, and yachts, which are magnificent residences on water. Itinerant architectures where designers and interior designers are called upon to meet new requirements in terms of quality of life and in which design plays a leading role. More specifically, in the yachting and cruise ship industries, the luxury comfort model is increasingly requested and sought after. Art, design, savoir-faire, eco-sustainability, research and tailor-made projects, signed by great internationally renowned Italian designers, become the calling card of these ‘perfect machines’ that the whole world looks up to.

INTERNI, in co-operation with the Consulate General of Italy in New York, Sanlorenzo and Natuzzi, promotes a debate taking into account elements such as creativity, design quality and sustainability, essential values of contemporary Made in Italy projects.

INTERNI HUMAN SPACES

Bringing Man and the Earth back to the heart of the debate. This is in short the focus of New York Human Spaces, the cycle of international meetings involving distinguished players of the world of architecture and design working between Italy and the United States.Key topics include new sources of renewable energy, sustainability in all its forms - from recycling materials to safeguarding the environment and the seas - and, more generally, the concept of human physical and psychological well-being. A goal that the designers of the third millennium are pursuing, rediscovering the ethical function of design and architecture. The creative act can indeed be a powerful instrument of denunciation and provocation. The maxim of an undisputed master of modern architecture, Brazilian Oscar Niemeyer, applies to this New Humanism: “Life is more important than architecture”. A theme that takes its cue from the exhibition-event Human Spaces organized by Interni at the FuoriSalone last April in Milan: 33 installations presented at the Università degli Studi, the Botanical Garden of Brera, the Arco della Pace and the Velasca Tower.

Some of the projects on display at the exhibition INTERNI Human Spaces, FuoriSalone 2019, 8-19 April, Milan: 1. Help the Planet, Help the Humans, a project of Maria Cristina Finucci with One Ocean Foundation, Officine Maccaferri and Ariston Thermo Group in the main courtyard of Università degli Studi di Milano; 2. The Circular Garden, an installation of Carlo Ratti Associati with Eni at Orto Botanico di Brera; 3. e_Domesticity, designed by Asymptote Architecture - Hani Rashid and Anne Lise Couture with Audi at Arco della Pace and Caselli Daziari.

SANLORENZO

For over 60 years the Sanlorenzo shipyard has produced high-quality yachts, thanks to the combination of fine craftsmanship, design and high technology, in custom creations that reflect the style and needs of each and every owner. Today, thanks to the management of Massimo Perotti, Chairman of Sanlorenzo, the firm is the world leader in the production of motoryachts over 30 meters in length. The company has four production sites: Ameglia, Viareggio and Massa for yacht, and La Spezia as the headquarters of Sanlorenzo Superyacht. Over the years Sanlorenzo has reinforced its relationship with the world of design and art, as reflected in the recent global partnership agreement with Art Basel, the most important fair of modern and contemporary art on the international scene, for the annual appointments in Hong Kong, Basel and Miami. This choice met with confirmation in 2018 with the start of collaboration with Piero Lissoni as art director, based on deep stylistic affinities that immediately became clear in his projects for the shipyards of La Spezia and Ameglia. The SX112 flagship that will be introduced at Cannes in 2020 and was chosen as the protagonist of the installation during the FuoriSalone in Milan for the exhibition Interni Human Spaces expands the SX crossover line officially launched in 2017 with the first SX88 yacht, followed in 2018 by the SX76. Both have interior design by Piero Lissoni, who has formulated the idea of an open-plan yacht for the first time, a continuous spaces of maximum comfort and livability. Sanlorenzo continues to invest in an eco-sustainable approach, applying diesel-electric and hybrid propulsione systems to an entire range of models. This is a rapidly growing segment where the brand sets out to be a leader, also in this process of green transformation that began in 2015 with the SL106 Hybrid. The propulsion systems of these models guarantee safety on the sea while improving efficiency and comfort, enlarging on board spaces and providing great flexibility while reducing harmful emissions.
