Primitive - Studio NUCLEO

Humans Life it's all about colors.

"Goethe is convinced that perhaps the true creators of color are dyers more than artists. It may be a reminder of the Encyclopaedia, where interest in the "social" techniques of the arts and crafts was paramount. However, the main reason is another: dyers produce colors and pour them out into the world, which is like a forest in the hands of gardeners. Colors are not adjectives added to nouns but mean that men use to express themselves in the reality of theworld. They are the dyers who perform the miracle of physically manufacturing color, materializing mental categories to give order, reason, and beauty to our Life environment. The technique or practice triggered by perception has logic, makingthe world knowable before it is known. In the world, they have colored, men live within their ideas. And there is no need to bring up the light, on the border between physical and metaphysical: «Divide the light!? Try in vain to divide what, despite you, isunique, and one remains»."
"The color theory," J.W. Goethe, introduced by Giulio Carlo Argan

In celebration of 10 years of collaboration with Studio Nucleo, Nilufar Gallery presents a pastel-hued version of Studio Nucleo’s all- white Primitive collection. Initially showcased at the Sandretto Re Rebaudengo Foundation in 2009 and at Nilufar Gallery in 2010, Primitive has since been exhibited in many museums and galleries around the world, while becoming the cornerstone of the Turin- based collective’s design production. The pieces include a large floor lamp, an armchair, a pendant light and a dining table, are all made of cardboard, fiberglass and polyester resin, while being reimagined in soft shades of pale pink, mint green, canary yellow and dusty blue.
