CONTEINER BORDER NO. 2 - DANESE MILANO
Danese Milano
To mark off a territory is a conscious act. It is not just the recognition of a natural limit or border but it is a role we consciously give to a neutral area that we want to contain and protect. Once again Gilad addresses the interaction between the object and the surface and space that surround it. He imagines them as a lever, a scene or a support in expressing an idea that lies somewhere between the logical and the absurd. Four semicircles support a square, or a square raises four semicircles, these are the different interpretations of an object that, even when turned upside down, does not lose its function but instead offers an alternative.

Designer
Ron Gilad
Ron Gilad is an Israeli designer who was born in Tel Aviv in 1972. He is fascinated by the philosophy of everyday objects. Although his design process itself is rigorous, his playful and emotional approach captures a sense of the absurd, explores the theme of disproportions and reflects his penchant for ironically challenging the preconceived meanings of things. Ron Gilad’s mission as artistic director of Danese Milano till 2018 was to bring classic forms up to date and to reinterpret often overlooked household items to give them a whole new lease of life.
