INSIDE FLOS « W O U L D YO U L I K E TO TA L K» Interview to Piero Gandini by Fabrice Paineau Would you like to talk about my background? (…) — I come from quite a funny, let’s just say unusual, family. My mother, with her aristocratic background and an innate sense of elegance, shared nonetheless with my father quite a modern vision of life. She ran a furniture store, filled with ill-assorted objects, including objects by famous designers. As children, my twin sister and I would hide among Le Corbusier designs for instance. You can say I was literally immersed in design! My father, for his part,...

INSIDE FLOS Would you like to talk about the object itself (…) — There is a language of objects and what is fascinating is that its lexicon evolves. How can the play with lights interact today? We have gone straight into the digital era and our work will undergo the same revolutions as the one of computers, and I am not only referring to the arrival of LED. We have the same issues as a company shifting from the era of hardware to the one of software. Those last five years have been the stage of great changes. We have an obligation to contribute creatively. My greatest hope is for the relation...

INSIDE FLOS quando lo suggerì mio padre. Ma avevo già in mente un approccio diverso al marchio, quindi gli chiesi di lasciarmi utilizzare un magazzino vuoto vicino ai nostri uffici di Brescia. Vogliamo parlare dei miei ricordi, Castiglioni, Scarpa, Starck? (…) — Venivano tutti a trovarmi in quel magazzino, era grandioso. Per me erano come teste di serie del tennis: immaginate di incontrare contemporaneamente Federer, Nadal, Djokovic…! Castiglioni era un personaggio pittoresco che rideva sempre e a volte addirittura urlava. Ricordo che un giorno non smetteva di gridare perché uno dei modelli gli...

INSIDE FLOS Vogliamo parlare di luce? (…) — Quale luce? Di recente sono stato in Asia. Si tratta di un luogo che ha sempre un alone mistico. Ricordo di aver visto un fuoco che si stava spegnendo, le cui braci erano ancora di un colore rosso vivo. Quella è la luce più bella di tutte. Vogliamo parlare di nuovo di…luce!? (…) — So che ci sono luci che ancora non sono state domate. Ad esempio, adoro il lavoro personale di Ingo Maurer: lui stesso è un personaggio incredibile, puro, forte, intransigente e così magico. Mi piacerebbe anche lavorare con artisti del calibro di Jenny Holzer. Ricordo un momento...
