THE EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN OF ZANETTO’S CREATIONS CONTRIBUTES TO THEIR QUALITY AND EXQUISITENESS

I remember that almost every evening, at dinner, my father placed the prototype that he was working on at the centre of the table so that he could calmly examine its lines and volumes, looking for defects and ways to improve its overall harmony and balance.

As a child, I looked at those objects, those fledgling creations, as though they were alive. I listened to their language speak of pride or gentleness, and perceived their spirit.

Since then, I always wanted to create such objects. And give them a spirit, so that they could express their own personality and language, speaking to the intimate essence, the spirit, of people.

I learned that, for an object to have a spirit, it cannot be subjected to the slavery of serial production, to the alienation of repetition and the calamity of tedium, rather it must be a single and unique example, an expression of individuality.
