"UNEXPECTED GUEST" at Salone del Mobile
PLAN C PRESENTS "UNEXPECTED GUEST"
In conjunction with the Salone del Mobile design fair, Plan C is dressing the windows of luxury store Banner Boutique, in the heart of Milan, with an exclusive installation developed in collaboration with Italian artist Maria Chiara Venturini named “Unexpected Guest”.
Weaving an artistic narrative throughout the space with live performances, Venturini will be interacting with videos and physical objects, recreating real-life scenes set in spaces reproducing two rooms of Carolina Castiglioni’s house in Milan.
The videos, filmed by Venturini, evoke a mysterious guest that enters Carolina’s apartment and deep dive into her own world by examining the objects on display inside the flat. Watch the film here.
Protagonists of the dreamlike space are two new additions to the Folded bag family, the Camera and the Tote. Both elegant and versatile, these bags are crafted from single pieces of leather, carefully folded to create distinctive but minimal forms.
“As we grow up we tend to fall victim to silent everyday boredom. We walk down the street with our heads bowed, on the asphalt or on a screen, with a very specific destination in mind: the end of the day in an adult world. ‘Unexpected Guest’ was created to break this colorless pattern by ‘deceiving’ passers-by, in real and virtual life, to pause and be invaded by a newfound sense of curiosity,” explains Venturini, who, for the entire duration of the project, will offer live performances within the installation at Banner Boutique.
“I think this installations combines three of my biggest passions, - fashion, art and design, - offering something that will capture people’s attention and raise a smile.” comments Carolina Castiglioni.
The new Camera and Tote Folded bags are exclusively available at Banner Boutique and on plan-c.com. Shop them here.
From April 13th to the 22nd, discover "Unexpected Guest" and be amazed by Venturini's live performances from April 13th to the 16th at 12pm, 3pm and 6pm at Banner Boutique, Via Sant'Andrea, 8, Milan.
