Special Edition – Ragusa Ibla: Baroque Heritage, Contemporary Vision
The collection was created for the Barocco e Neobarocco Design Festival, where UNICA unveils new works in dialogue with the architecture and historical identity of the המקום.
Within this context, UNICA reinterprets Baroque through a contemporary lens, translating its richness and theatricality into a refined, modern language.
At the heart of the collection are the Bernini chair, upholstered in Rubelli damask fabrics, and the Ibla table, enhanced by a gilded papier-mâché centerpiece.
A clear reference to the tradition of ephemeral architecture and the art of papier-mâché, rooted in the heritage of Venetian masks that has made Italian craftsmanship renowned worldwide.
The collection unfolds as a dialogue between past and present, where contemporary design meets the expressive richness of Sicilian Baroque.
The works emerge as sculptural presences within historic spaces, creating a visual and emotional continuity between material, light, and architecture.
The result is a balance between memory and innovation, where each element becomes the expression of a timeless aesthetic vision.
