"Stappo" , the name of the bottle holder designed by Paolo Albano.
...presented on November 12, 2021 as part of the 9th Cantù Wood Festival.
A wooden object pays homage to the Lace of Cantù (Marelli).
Architect and designer Paolo Albano actualizes the identities of Italian craft culture-Cantu Lace-and creates "Stappo" , not a simple bottle holder.
On Nov. 10, 2021 at a well-known pub-restaurant in Milan, where one can breathe in the air of art because one can admire the bizarre collection of objects that are a source of inspiration for many artists, "Stappo" was presented as a gift to Dr. Marco Camisani Calzolari MCC.
With a simple and flexible articulation that effectively conveys the theme of traditions and enhances the awe of wonder, the object designed by Paolo Albano addresses the joy of living and its taste. Paolo Albano has created a combination of art, which aims to promote local traditions by incorporating them into contemporary productions.
Already this concept has been exalted egregiously by several designers over the years, their designs were exhibited at the International Biennial of Lace - Cantù. They have breathed new life into this art, new cultural and emotional concepts for unique and valuable works : Alessandro Mendini, Andrea Branzi, Angela Missoni, Anna Gili, Elena Salmistraro, Lombardini22, Luca Scacchetti, Martino Gamper, Michele De Lucchi, Nanda Vigo, Nanni Strada, Patricia Urquiola, Terry Dwan, Thessy Schienholzer, Ugo La Pietra.
According to the vision of arch. Paolo Albano the project is clear in its organization and "is configured with a simple and highly flexible typological articulation. In fact, Stappo lends itself to accommodate the use of wine or sparkling wine bottles, without distorting the significant characters of the project. The external forms are characterized by typical elements of bobbin lace, known as Pizzo di Cantù.
The traditions of Italian know how are in clear harmony with Paolo Albano's philosophy, namely 'reinterpreting local traditions of excellence,' fundamental themes for understanding what our now global future will be.
The solution chosen valued the lowest environmental impact, foreshadowing the use of wood that has heart and soul in the project. An idea that was welcomed with full enthusiasm by the company Fratelli Rossi of Cantù, which since 1963, has been dealing with more than 40 different types of products, where wood becomes passion. The craftsmanship will be worked in a Social Solidarity Cooperative, where the carpentry workshop promotes the inclusion of people in difficulty in the world of work, offering them learning a trade and hope for a better future.
The project will be presented at the 9th Cantù Wood Festival , (Nov. 12-21, 2021) and the chosen name "Stappo" recalls the toast among friends.
The knowledge of traditions and their nourishment are like a great laboratory to which to always look - concludes Arch. Paolo Albano, - these are the basis for sowing our know-how as an asset for an increasingly fluid creative language.
The project was developed thanks to the Marelli family of Cantù, who issued a challenge to the well-known professional, so that we could better understand the emotion, which the Pizzo di Cantù evokes.
The Marelli family are an important voice in the context of the art of Cantù Lace because they were already qualified merchants as well as producers. Today they are experts in the product.
Already the first orders have arrived from : Casa Vinicola Ostinelli of Lipomo, ViniBranca of Mariano C., well-known distributors in the Ho.Re.Ca. sphere.
