Client / Exhibition "Design nel pallone" curated by Francesca Molteni and Giulio Iacchetti
Year / 2013
Location / Sao Paulo, Brazil
Reinterpretation of the famous football Super Santos for the exhibition "Design nel Pallone", curated by Francesca Molteni and Giulio Iacchetti. In the eternal soccer games that seemed to never end, I remember the Super Santos chiming in every goal the passage of time, with his unmistakable thud of metal on the shutters. This noise was contained in joy and pain: not only represented the sound of the goal, but most likely would have aroused the hatred of the neighbors, who regularly threatened to puncture the balloon so loved. I tried then to design a sphere impossible to drill, an elastic structure outside that could never lose its shape, inspired by the lines that characterize the Super Santos.
