A project defined by the New York Times a “Must see show” is the one where, once again, the porcelain stoneware is an integral part of the project.
Until October 29, 2017, the set-up “The Theater of Disappearance” signed Adrian Villar Rojas will stand out under the New York sky, just on the famous Roof Garden of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in which the prominent element is the evocative black, gray and white chessboard flooring made with the line due2 by Del Conca, 20 mm thick.
The promising Argentine artist wanted to recreate a ballroom with tables in a surreal fusion of nearly 100 artworks made in 3D, coming from seventeen different departments of the collection of the Museum, including pieces of design, Egyptian masks, Oriental sculptures, classical statues, weapons and African heads. Later, everything was recombined, mounted, reinterpreted through small sets along the terrace overlooking the metropolis skyline.
Adrian Villar Rojas desire was to incorporate in the installation - which is a celebration of the museum - also the bar counter and the wooden benches of the terrace, thus covering them with the stoneware of the company from Romagna.
This application thus confirms the high adaptability of due2 to the most diverse design and artistic needs of designers and architects, even in the exteriors, thanks to the technical features that make the ceramic tiles resistant to wear, slipping and atmospheric agents.
