‘Shouts and songs, lights and clamour, in a kaleidoscope of colours,” goes the Italian song of the same name. Translating ino ‘fun fair’, the tune evokes a fantastic world of bizarre and exuberant games which alternate with curious and lively stands packed with colourful sweets – scenes of lights, scents and colours; carousels, sounds and flavours; all evocative of a village festival. This is what Alessandro Zambelli recreated through ‘Lunapark’, a limited-edition coffee table designed for Rome-based gallery secondome.
Part of unplugged(一系列手工家具作品), Alessandro Zambelli为 Secondome所作的 Lunapark 咖啡桌采用了珍贵的Murano玻璃。手工艺的优点在于,设计师采用了特殊的技术让玻璃板融化并成型。 Zambelli描述其成果说:“这是一种不可抗拒的流行的胜利,流畅的线条弥漫着鲜艳的色彩。”由于其特殊的生产工艺,LunaPark玻璃流动形成的曲线定义了桌子的形状,像倾倒出来的糖浆一样还含有微小的气泡,使表面出乎意料的柔软。同时,和其他流体材料一样,它的柔软性屈服于所需的形式,弯曲从而形成了桌子的支撑结构元素。
Part of unplugged – a collection of hand-made furniture pieces – Alessandro Zambelli‘s Lunapark table for Secondome is made from precious Murano glass. Craft wise, the designers adopted a special technique whereby plates of glass are melted and shaped. The result is ‘an irresistible pop triumph, featuring fluid lines permeated by strikingly bright colors,’ describes Zambelli. Thanks to its special production technique, Lunapark’s glass flows into curves which define the table’s shape and, like poured sugar, contains tiny air bubbles which make the surface unexpectedly soft and velvety. At the same time, like a fluid material, it softly yields to the required form, bending to define the structural supporting elements of the table.

In terms of its colors, Lunapark is a fully customizable piece of furniture. It is possible to choose from an extensive palette featuring neutral or subtle shades as well as lively, exuberant tones – light amethyst or dark grey, violet and topaz, yellow and mint green, aquamarine and cobalt blue, to list just a few of the available shades – in an infinite kaleidoscope of tones. With that, it becomes ‘totally faithful to the image evoked by its name’.
