Notes

Treforchette (Threeforks) is a conceptual object. It suggest, slightly ironically, a way of designing with ready made instustrial products. These products, transfered into other contexts reveal a different potential. The contemporary designer must exploit industrial know how and industrial products in order to transform them into useful objects. A prototype of the lamp and a design have become part of the permanent collection of the Centre Georges Pompidou, on display from 18 November 2003 to 30 October 2004. The lamp Treforchette XL went into production in 2011 (www.produzioneprivata.com)
