This is a good read and interesting:
Extra-Ordinary Gallery is a collection of ordinary objects designed by a team of Fabrica’s
designers who used traditional Italian materials like marbles of Canova
and Murano glasses interpreted in a new and international way—all made
in Italy.Daily rituals we perform and don’t think about are suddenly made more
special through attention to detail. The formal simplicity, shapes and
materials of these objects become a tribute to the beauty of basic and
small pleasures in life. Common actions such as hanging a picture on a
wall, a morning exercise or having drinks with friends are rendered a
little bit more special than they already are; domestic, yet exquisite.
