Active Mind - Pensiero Dinamico
Motusmentis develops a rational and rigorous search that meets the “Active Mind” of the Seventies and the re-discovery of the absolutely personal value of art, of the individual that becomes artist of himself. An input that Motusmentis, authentic workshop of continous experimentation, works out through determinate projects in time and space. The concept of Motusmentis collection is born joining products and systems, which find a combination and a contact point on principles of determinate project and design. The term “collection”realizes itself in specific projects that are inserted in a precise space and time moment. So, a profound reflection of stylistic and creative search that lives of its own co-ordinates space-time and that, as it is for the actual collection, exalts solutions and intuitions deeply inserted in a definite cultural context. Actually, the collection presented in these pages shows a deep and sincere re-discovery of the values of the individual personality, through products and systems that allow everyone to express his own creative vein , that becomes concrete in design products.

A collection that starts from a profound knowledge of the employed material, steel and aluminium, and that develops in mono-matter systems and objects. Metals that, then, are part of an original and patented contructive system, that superimposes the sheets of folded plate, creating the line that distinguishes the whole collection. A stylistic form that is the direct consequence of the original constructive principle and that, once more, confirms how the “ form” definitely depends on the “substance”. A stylistic essence that, in this collection, is completely played on different depths, on light and shade contrasts, through absolutely minimalist choices that exalt themselves in the raw material and in its simple working, and from which essential ideas, founded on pure geometrical elements, are born. Where the simple shapes of square, rectangle, circle and line infuse into the entire collection an absolute geometry and strictness. An apparent severity that, on the contrary, lives by the active mind philosophy, being composed and arranged following the personal taste and the different inclinations of whom buys and likes to create.

A collection where flexibility and modularity are mixed together to offer everybody the maximum freedom of artistic expression, combining different elements , playing with metal, with its shapes made of full and empty spaces. Objects and systems that, even if living in complete autonomy, evoke symbolical universes and unitary stylistics and that can spread to infinity, totally respecting that dynamic thought that is peculiar to Motusmentis’s philosophy. An idea of design that is a play of perspectives, of matter and visual choice, not binding in time, able to evolve in future proposals with always new solutions and original objects. Proposals that can be managed in autonomous way and in complete freedom, but at the same time, coherent and leading to a visual and perceptive philosophy, that is the integrant part of Motusmentis thought.
