An installation created by Italian artist Massimo Bartolini: a series of lights that pulsated and gained intensity responding to a soundtrack created from the noises registered during Marni Flower Market. The idea of recycling and reinventing in fact, is integral to Marni’s creative ethos. This mass of lively lights could be enjoyed sitting around it on Marni’s signature braided pvc chairs. Apart from flowers and aromatic plants, there were many new items for sale: leather sandals hand-painted by Italian Art Brut artists; pvc pot holders decorated with Marni archive prints; the Dot bag, a net made of saffiano leather printed with archive motifs; fabric sacs and Marni Flower Market striped shopping bags. Also on sale a selection of the sculptures from the Marni Animal House project, picnic cloths and printed wrapping papers. he project finally reaffirms Marni’s commitment in favor of charity initiatives: total of the proceeding derived from the sale of products will be in fact donated in support of the Vimala Association (www.ass-vimala.org).
