Stardust di Mario Bellini
The name is Stardust, the first revolutionary product Mario Bellini signs for Meritalia. This project is dealing with a new family of bright furniture – pillows, pouff, chaise longue, armchairs, sofas – realized without cast with “poor” materials. The extraordinary idea was to make use of “ravioli made of air” similar to those normally used for packages, as stuffing, and a metallic netting made of thin inox wire, in practice transparent, as covering-case. These new furniture can be even used as big and comfortable lamps on which people can seat.

Expressionism is the tendency of an artist to distort reality for an emotional effect; it is a subjective art form

n The Birth of Tragedy Nietzsche presented his theory of the ancient dualism between two types of aesthetic experience, namely the Apollonian and the Dionysian; a dualism between the plastic "art of sculpture", of lyrical dream-inspiration, identity (the principium individuationis), order, regularity, and calm repose, and, on the other hand, the non-plastic "art of music", of intoxication, forgetfulness, chaos, and the ecstatic dissolution of identity in the collective. The analogy with the world of the Greek gods typifies the relationship between these extremes: two godsons, incompatible and yet inseparable. According to Nietzsche, both elements are present in any work of art. The basic characteristics of expressionism are Dionysian: bold colours, distorted forms-in-dissolution, two-dimensional, without perspective.

heavy emphasis is placed on communication through emotion.
