Starting with Ruins of 2018, Roberto Sironi carries out a methodical and meticulous investigation of archaeological sites; he reinterprets and restructures classic architectural finds with almost an archaeologist's attention.
The latest work, Domus Pompeii, is the result of in situ research, where the designer analyzes the colors of the frescoes to develop five colors 'Pompeian '.
Sironi is fascinated, almost obsessed with history, not only by the classical period, but precisely by the idea of stratification – in fact, he also adds references to the industrial revolution in more contemporary times.
With completely different materials and construction processes, the Spaniard Sergio Roger questions the beliefs and idealized vision of antiquity.
In The Grand Ball of Delphi he twists, bends and twists the columns of a temple, made of linen, silk and velvets that bear the marks of the passage of time, emphasizing the coexistence of satirical and solemn elements.
Classical art and culture are the foundation of his aesthetic expression but, unlike Sironi, he does not take them entirely seriously.
