RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project in general was a design Exercise. The objective was to design with the subconscious. That is the reason of the series name: Strange Land. The project started with rectangles with standard entrance table dimension where the designer free sketched forms. From a collection of 15 sketches and combining the most interesting details, four forms started to take shape. In the shapes the designer identified four animals. At this point it began a research on the meaning of these animals to humanity and to the designer itself. The actual forms are explorations of combining hard straight lines and sharp angles with reflected light to generate emotions in the viewer.
CHALLENGE: 1909 Elephant’s Child is a journey to the subconscious of the designer. During the research it encounters information and famous phrases about elephants. It found a book title Elephant’s Child that touched his emotions. At the end of the research looking at the object it realized this object represented his 6 year old child.

NAME: Fabrizio Constanza Design
PROFILE: Fabrizio Constanza is an observer of life. His inspiration comes from emotions generated by anything. By watching life passing by, from reflections of the world, past nostalgia and future cues, Fabrizio captures and materialize the emotions into objects. A clear example is 0710 Oxbow, based on the Baltimore derby winner.
Objects become transmitters of emotions. A table that elegantly represents the human body named Organica, or a coat stand with slick curves for the corporate world, simply known as Lande, are exquisite samples.
Balanced compositions define his work, objects that will overcome the past time. Fabrizio harmoniously combines classic and contemporary materials with ergonomic details to create pieces that will be enjoyed by generations to come. “I design for today, but thinking on how future generations will enjoy a beautiful piece of functional art with the history of its first user”.
