garage BENTIVOGLIO

The Cartesian plane, with its infinite extension, seduces most of the architectural avant-garde of the 70s: if for Superstudio the Supersurface is even able to connect the Earth with the Moon, for Archizoom the No-stop city eliminates perspectives and proportions, making all points of space homogeneous with each other. It is no coincidence that these avant-gardes were born in a Florentine environment, between the grilles of the Michelucci Station window and Brunelleschi's square modules for the church of Santo Spirito. \nThis exaggerated generation rejects and permanently dissociates the role of the architect from the construction practice. The project no longer has as its purpose the individual architecture, but the construction of the entire space between things. The images thus become more important than the buildings themselves, they do not depend on rules and regulations and above all they are immediately transferable. \nWhen radical enthusiasm dies out, groups break up and the various components take different paths, fascinations often continue to fuel the work of individual designers. Massimo Morozzi's Tangram thus contains the possibility of invading the piano in all directions, of connecting new pieces endlessly and crossing the world with a single sign; at the same time, the garage space, completely invaded by the table, makes the object almost useless and highlights its purely formal characteristics. \nThe various floors, with an almost postmodern practice, are sometimes supported by classic legs, sometimes by almost sculptural elements, sometimes by vertical planes: Morozzi thus makes a small compendium of the different possibilities with which to design a table, all gathered in a table of tables. The table can thus be reassembled according to the user's needs, even transforming it into a large archipelago of independent elements. It is certainly the most Solomonic of design objects: in the case of hereditary succession, each heir can in fact have his share, without affecting aesthetics and functionality.
