Digital Memories

For the Milan Design Week 2009, Bisazza presented the collection Digital Memories three new pieces of furniture designed by Tord Boontje for Bisazza Home comprised of two commodes and a table.

When I look at mosaic patterns, I am immediately reminded of a pixelated image, a digital image. We use digital images from cameras and video to capture moments of life, these become our memories. The collection of mosaic for Bisazza is based on the idea to use images that trigger memories when you look at them. A pattern of sunlight filtering through the leaves of trees can remind you of a nice summer day, a picnic in the park or daydreaming in the back of a car and watching the landscape going by. These patterns become personalised memories for each viewer, we all share these memories.

Digital Memories comprises commodes Night Vision and Summer Trees, and Dark Waters table.
