Puglia, trulli and crafts: a new project by Tipstudio

Typically embroidered with lace and beads, the curtain that screens and decorates a trullo has been revisited by Tipstudio with metal discs that reflect the colors and sounds of the Itria Valley

An old farmhouse in Noci, in Puglia, has been reborn as a social promotion association that offers cultural events, artistic and agri-food workshops, as well as artistic and tourist residences and educational experiences. But also music, entertainment and self-produced organic food. It is here, in the bucolic and stimulating context of Masseria Cultura, that Tipstudio, a creative duo with an experimental and sensorial, sartorial and narrative approach, has created his latest work. Between design and decoration, territory, art and craftsmanship.

The installation is as simple and domestic as it is evocative, material and iridescent. It generates a fluctuating shielding woven of metal yet light that on the one hand softens and on the other emphasizes. It protects from light and creates light in turn.

“In southern Italy and specially in Apulia at the entrance of the houses there is often a curtain, a decorative element full of symbols embroidered with lace and beads” tell the Florentines Imma Matera and Tommaso Lucarini. “Il progetto Ritmo Quotidiano (Daily Rhythm) project comes from our art residency at Masseria Cultura in Valle d’Itria in Apulia, has been inspired by the feelings and sounds coming from the surrounding landscape: the noise of the wheat moved by the wind, the cowbells of the grazing animals and the rustle of the air in the empty Trulli”.
