Il

   è	
   nella

   dell’uomo	
   il	
   punto	
   di	
   incontro	
   e	
   di	
   scambio	
   tra	
   le

   spesso	
  
rappresentato

   un

   ricco	
   di	
   ornamenti,	
   lavorazioni	
   e	
   decorazioni	
   che	
   lo	
  
contraddistinguono	
  e	
  rendono	
  unico	
  e	
  prezioso	
  ciò	
  che	
  accade	
  sopra	
  e	
  intorno.	
  
	
  
Tabula	
  Rasa	
  è	
  un

  un	
  laboratorio

  con

Otto,	
   con	
   questo	
   progetto,	
   con	
   i	
   suoi	
   artisti,	
   designers	
   e	
   artigiani	
   vuole	
   proporre	
   una	
   varietà	
   di	
  
interpretazioni	
   del	
   tavolo	
   e	
   degli	
   oggetti	
   che	
   stanno	
   sopra	
   e	
   sotto.	
   In	
   questo

pensiamo	
  sia

  di	
  chi	
  elabora	
  progetti	
  e	
  realizza	
  oggetti	
  che	
  ci	
  circondano

  quotidiano,	
  
riflettere	
   sulla	
   loro	
   identità	
   e	
   il	
   loro	
   significato,	
   confrontandosi	
   con	
   i	
   temi	
   mutevoli	
   della	
   vita	
   di	
  
tutti	
   i	
   giorni.	
   Sono	
   pezzi	
   unici	
   o	
   piccole	
   serie,	
   opere	
   che	
   “ragionano”	
   sulla	
   loro	
   funzione	
   e	
  
propongono	
  modi	
  di

Tabula	
  Rasa	
  is	
  a	
  project	
  in	
  progress	
  which	
  starts	
  on	
  an	
  open	
  plane	
  that	
  will	
  be	
  filled	
  with	
  frugal	
  
objects,	
  food	
  containers,	
  flowerpots,	
  ornaments,	
  decoration,	
  final	
  polishes,	
  complements	
  and	
  still	
  
other	
   objects	
   necessary	
   to	
   convivial	
   life.	
   The	
   table	
   starts	
   out	
   cleared,	
   empty,	
   ready	
   to	
   be	
   set	
   with	
  
new	
   ideas;	
   not	
   just	
   for	
   the	
   table,	
   but	
   also	
   for	
   the	
   life	
   conducted	
   around	
   it.	
   How	
   much	
   time	
   do	
   we	
  
spend	
  at	
  the	
  table	
  each	
  day?	
  The	
  set	
  table	
  where	
  we	
  sit	
  down	
  to	
  eat,	
  the	
  table	
  around	
  which	
  we	
  
conduct	
  meetings,	
  or	
  do	
  our	
  work;	
  the	
  “public”	
  tables	
  at	
  restaurants,	
  or	
  at	
  parties	
  where	
  we	
  meet,	
  
to	
  share	
  a	
  lunch	
  or	
  a	
  banquet;	
  the	
  gambling	
  table	
  where	
  we	
  take	
  our	
  chances.	
  
	
  
In	
  human	
  history,	
  the	
  table	
  is	
  a	
  meeting	
  point,	
  a	
  place	
  of	
  exchange	
  between	
  people.	
  The	
  table	
  is	
  
therefore	
  usually	
  represented	
  as	
  a	
  richly	
  ornamented	
  element,	
  heavily	
  worked	
  and	
  decorated	
  to	
  
distinguish	
  and	
  confer	
  uniqueness	
  and	
  importance	
  to	
  what	
  happens	
  atop	
  and	
  around	
  it.	
  
	
  
Tabula	
  Rasa	
  is	
  a	
  work-­‐in-­‐progress,	
  a	
  laboratory	
  where	
  we	
  start	
  off	
  with	
  a	
  few	
  objects;	
  over	
  time,	
  
the	
  table	
  will	
  be	
  set	
  with	
  works	
  by	
  the	
  participating	
  artists,	
  during	
  encounters	
  in	
  which	
  the	
  latest	
  
arrivals	
  will	
  be	
  introduced.	
  
	
  
With	
  this	
  project,	
  Otto	
  and	
  its	
  artists,	
  designers	
  and	
  artisans,	
  would	
  like	
  to	
  propose	
  a	
  variety	
  of	
  
interpretations	
  of	
  the	
  table	
  and	
  the	
  objects	
  placed	
  above	
  and	
  below.	
  In	
  this	
  period	
  of	
  history,	
  we	
  
consider	
   it	
   the	
   task	
   of	
   those	
   who	
   design	
   projects	
   and	
   produce	
   the	
   objects	
   which	
   surround	
   us	
   in	
  
everyday	
   life	
   to	
   reflect	
   on	
   their	
   identity	
   and	
   meaning,	
   and	
   to	
   confront	
   the	
   ever-­‐changing	
   themes	
  
of	
  everyday	
  life.	
  They	
  will	
  be	
  unique	
  pieces	
  or	
  limited	
  editions,	
  works	
  which	
  “reason”	
  upon	
  their	
  
function	
  and	
  suggest	
  ways	
  of	
  interpreting	
  the	
  same	
  through	
  original	
  and	
  stimulating	
  readings.

  • 4.   Tabula  Rasa  is  a  project  in  progress  which  starts  on  an  open  plane  that  will  be  filled  with  frugal   objects,  food  containers,  flowerpots,  ornaments,  decoration,  final  polishes,  complements  and  still   other   objects   necessary   to   convivial   life.   The   table   starts   out   cleared,   empty,   ready   to   be   set   with   new   ideas;   not   just   for   the   table,   but   also   for   the   life   conducted   around   it.   How   much   time   do   we   spend  at  the  table  each  day?  The  set  table  where  we  sit  down  to  eat,  the  table  around  which  we   conduct  meetings,  or  do  our  work;  the  “public”  tables  at  restaurants,  or  at  parties  where  we  meet,   to  share  a  lunch  or  a  banquet;  the  gambling  table  where  we  take  our  chances.     In  human  history,  the  table  is  a  meeting  point,  a  place  of  exchange  between  people.  The  table  is   therefore  usually  represented  as  a  richly  ornamented  element,  heavily  worked  and  decorated  to   distinguish  and  confer  uniqueness  and  importance  to  what  happens  atop  and  around  it.     Tabula  Rasa  is  a  work-­‐in-­‐progress,  a  laboratory  where  we  start  off  with  a  few  objects;  over  time,   the  table  will  be  set  with  works  by  the  participating  artists,  during  encounters  in  which  the  latest   arrivals  will  be  introduced.     With  this  project,  Otto  and  its  artists,  designers  and  artisans,  would  like  to  propose  a  variety  of   interpretations  of  the  table  and  the  objects  placed  above  and  below.  In  this  period  of  history,  we   consider   it   the   task   of   those   who   design   projects   and   produce   the   objects   which   surround   us   in   everyday   life   to   reflect   on   their   identity   and   meaning,   and   to   confront   the   ever-­‐changing   themes   of  everyday  life.  They  will  be  unique  pieces  or  limited  editions,  works  which  “reason”  upon  their   function  and  suggest  ways  of  interpreting  the  same  through  original  and  stimulating  readings.       Artists  invited  to  participate  in  tabula  rasa:       Mauro  Lovi  -­‐  Tables     Nicola  Perilli  -­‐  objects  and  table  furnishings     Michele  Martinelli  -­‐  Table     Christophe  Quarena  -­‐  Table     Elia  -­‐  Table     Livio  Tessandori  -­‐  Tablecloth     Stefano  Breschi  -­‐  Objects  for  the  table     Elisabetta  Nencini  -­‐  Table     Antonio  Lo  presti  -­‐  Table
