As with each of our encounters, with Böjte-Bottari it all started with a case of love at first sight. It was above all a visual attraction. A form, a material. Maison & Objet 2017. The Riflessi vase. A sculptural container that seems incredibly simple in its structure at first glance but that is in fact a work that only a true master would be capable of creating by blowing a single piece of glass. An object with a touching delicacy that seems to make the flowers arranged within it appear to be floating. For its creation, as for that of their personal projects – she at the studio of Patricia Urquiola, he at the Habits consultancy firm – Gaia Bottari and István Böjte took a great deal of time on experiments that could bring design into everyday life. An introspection that got them spotted by the Paola C. exhibition space located right at the heart of the extraordianry Milanese neighbourhood of Brera. Having worked together for the first time a few years ago – winning two prestigious professional competitions on the way – lady luck seems to be smiling on the Böjte-Bottari partnership once again. Interview with two raw talents whose complementary skill sets mean that we are sure to come across them again in the very near future in the world of design.
