Glamora presents Creative Collection Chapter XIII

The new chapter of Glamora’s ongoing collection takes the spotlight at the company’s showroom in Milan. Exploring the two floors, interior designer and planners can take a closer look at designs inspired by five areas of inspiration, which all feature beauty in its purest forms and go beyond strict principles of harmony and precision.

60 designs are used to freely explore the worlds of art, architecture, culture and landscape.
Artistic trends are evoked that have ledreal cultural transformations, such as Informalism and Brutalism, including a number of compositional works based on innovative rhythms that sometimes see a break with tradition. There is a focus on nature, a key motif that inspires the brand, and this is examined through the magnifying glass of mythology and biodiversity and interpreted in a kaleidoscope of visual references incorporating plants, flowers and leaves originating from a range of different habitats. Through myths and legends, scents and fragrances, Glamora tells a tale of timeless universes. These are portrayed in pontaneous, distinct designs that are never conventional and come together in a rich collection of cultural references with huge emotional impact.

On the trail of the Grand Tour.
Idyllic views, architectural detail and timelessly elegant cities of art. Remains of ancient civilisations, architectural wonders and captivating landscapes that bring classical worlds to mind: these are the delicately designed views embedded in this theme of the collection, which takes its inspiration from the famous Grand Tour. From the 17th century, young aristocratic men set out on a right-of-passage trip to explore Europe and, in particular, Italy’s cities of art (including Naples and Rome), reflecting the passions of an era characterised by much cultural excitement.
Beyond form: Neo-brutalism.
Graphic lines and pure geometric design come together, exploring chiaroscuro and intersections with a new way of defining space. Pure, rigorous narrative pattern, monochrome shades, and texture: these are some of the key elements of Brutalism. Beginning in the 1950s, the architectural trend became increasingly more popular through to the 1970s, and its leading proponents included Italian architects Lina Bo Bardi and Clorindo Testa, American designer Paul Rudolph and Japanese architect Kenzo Tange.

Exploring enchanted worlds.
This theme in the collection is dedicated to the beings represented by earthly nymphs, as it is to the tree-living nymphs, joined as they are together in such a symbiotic relationship that they breathe as one. Powerful blooms and luxuriant plants emerge in decorative design themes with a lyrical nature and featuring an intense palette of colours.
World gardens.
Jubilantly abundant nature, luxuriant and exotic, where compositional harmony meets a sense of colour. An imaginary tour of greenery and its infinite interpretations is expressed as a journey in search of parks, gardens, oases, and hothouses spread out across the globe: from the Jardin Majorelle in Marrakesh to the Boboli Gardens in Florence, and from the Tsavo Park in Kenya to Parc Güell in Barcelona. These are vast spaces or remote, peaceful oases, often dotted with waterways, fountains, rocks and little lakes; jewels that provide happiness and well-being if we completely throw ourselves in with body and soul, breathe in every scent and absorb every vibration.

Design meets rhythm.
Beyond borders: investigating the link between sound and figurative art. “All art constantly aspires to the condition of music”. This is how English essayist Walter Pater described the complex link connecting sound and figurative art. A kind of drive to discover one same rhythm which has interested a number of pictorial approaches, resulting in works that seem to revolve around the idea of a harmonic score and, at times, pursue a deliberate lack of harmony. As a result, the theme of the collection moves between Abstract Art, Informalism and musical structure.
