THE FANTASTIC WORLD OF BOSA ON SHOW AT SUPERSALONE

Fantasy, joy, and colour are the keywords of the exhibition to be held by Bosa at the supersalone. A world populated by fun characters, the brainchild of the creative flair of Elena Salmistraro and Jaime Hayon. Both have collaborated with the company for a number of years now, and together they’ve authored some of the brand's best-selling items. For the first time, they’ll be presenting themselves to the public, along with their extraordinary, brightly-coloured pieces, made possible by the skilled craftsmanship of Bosa.

Centrepiece of the exhibition will be Minnie Urban Minerva, created to accompany Mickey Forever Young: Elena Salmistraro’s interpretation depicts her as a modern urban goddess, brimming with energy and ultra fashionable. Thus the exclusive collaboration between Bosa and Disney has been doubled: Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse will be available in a limited edition for the whole of 2021.

Bosa will also be exhibiting the Baile collection at Supersalone. This brings together some of Jaime Hayon’s most iconic designs, “dressed up” with the designer’s signature aesthetics featuring strong graphic touches and bright colours: a veritable carousel of vases, tables and decorative accessories that together make a delightful ensemble.

Other fun characters from the Bosa collection will also be on show during the event: Mr. James, Dab Penguin, Bernardo, Mr. Ciao.

All the pieces are crafted in the Bosa atelier – a guarantee of genuine made-in-Italy quality: with their three-dimensional textures the pieces are handcrafted using ancient ceramic-working techniques and then adorned with hand-painted decorations by master craftsmen using coloured enamels and precious metals.

BAILE COLLECTION

design Jaime Hayon, 2020

Like at some glorious ball, the best selling products designed by Jaime Hayon like to conceal their identities with graphic features and vibrant colours: the gestures expressed within the design and the strength of colors reveal the upbeat and creative imagination of the Spanish designer.

BERNARDO

design Elena Salmistraro, 2020

The Panda is the international symbol of all endangered species (it’s no coincidence that it's also the icon of the WWF). In this sculpture, this cute and often lazy bear stands proudly on his hind legs.

Bernardo means ‘strong and brave as a bear’, and Elena Salmistraro has envisioned him adorned like the head of a tribe. A sort of armour, the crown of leaves and branches of his favourite food, bamboo, turn him into a hero ready to fight to defend all other animals.

The unique decorations of this ceramic piece - with its alternating hues, 3D inserts and refined shiny and matt finishes - make it a fascinating character that inspires the imagination and reminds us how vital it is to save our planet.

DAB PENGUIN

design Vittorio Gennari, 2020

This penguin’s gesture (dabbing) refers to a pose struck by athletes after an exceptional performance or by footballers after a goal, a gesture of pride that recognizes a great feat, imitated by millions of young people around the globe. 60% of the world’s penguins have disappeared over the last 50 years, yet this penguin seems to say ‘I'm here and I'm a hero’. This call for attention is meant to raise awareness about what’s happening to those (besides us) who live on planet Earth.

Designed using the low-poly technique, this ceramic penguin is defined by a few lines, while its facets are emphasized by the introduction of precious metal enamel. As essential as possible, it's as if the penguin were disappearing. The result is a form that suggests a presence that is slowly being reduced, until it disappears, a representation of the time that is coming to an end.
