Architect and designer Emma Scolari presents for the Milano Design Week 2016, the light installation Noli me Tangere at the Ventura XV space in the Ventura Lambrate district, rich of artistic cross-contamination. The work of Emma Scolari, who defines herself an ‘artisan of architecture and design’, starts from the concept of the unique object. The formal research and the study of the materials, essential in the design phase and based on the need of personalization, part of each product. Noli Me Tangere, name dafter a series of tables presented for the first time during Fuorisalone 2016 as protagonist of the installation. A sheet of marble of the dimensions of 180 x 80 cm, split in the middle and mounted on a powder varnishedsteel frame, forms two surfaces that almost touch in the middle, creating a space to pass your fingers through and, following the natural crack of the material, will illuminate the gap thanks to LED lighting connected to an integrated movement sensor. The tables, ideal for indoor and outdoor use, can be custom made in varioussizes, colours and stones, and give life to a sensorial and tactile experience. An experience also emphasized by the artistic setting in the space of the Ventura XV. A wooden box in natural poplar of 5 by 5 metres and 3 metres high, entirely black, forms the setting for the tables Noli Me Tangere, presented in three differen ttypes of marble of pure colour - crystal white, allblack and red Persian travertine – to remind the ancestral nature of the material. To complete the installation a subtle fissure in the ceiling lets in a blade of light to recall the luminous split of the tables. On the back wall, a video projection of a silentsky by night, suddenly illuminated and pierced by lightning and thunder, evokes the energy and celestial beauty of an instant, a flash of light, caught and told by the marbles of Noli Me Tangere.
