Exhibition in Palazzo Biscari, Catania, Sicily

Moncada Rangel has curated an exhibition for a limited edition furniture collection for the Sicilian company DiSè: DOMESTIC MONUMENTS

By revisiting ancestral activities that are repeated every day, each designer contributed with his own critical vision, celebrating an intimate moment of daily life. This collection offers an archipelago of singular approaches that create a collective memory of our present day.

Moncada Rangel selected eight daily moments, that were assigned to eight different creatives that worked on the project with different approaches. The aim was to create a heterogeneous collection, not coherent in terms of materiality neither in their design. A collection of monuments on a domestic scale. Ideally all together the eight pieces can shape a single house with each single piece being part of a fundamental element of his program:

•1. REST: “Delos Bed” by Arquitectura G (ES)

•2. STORE: “Cabinet” by Point Supreme (GR)

•3. SHARE: “Numen” by Michael Schoner (DE)

•4. HEARTH: “Il Cielo” by Francesco Librizzi (IT)

•5. GROOM: “Groom” by OS Δ OOS (NL)

•6. SEAT: “Tasmania” by Leopold Bianchini (CH)

•7. DRESS: “Monument number One” by Guillermo Santoma (ES)

•8. ILLUMINATE: “A slant of Light” by Germans Ermics (LV)
