Palizzata bench by Riva 1920
Palizzata bench by Riva 1920. Unquestioned protagonists of the city of Venice, the Briccole, the posts standing in the lagoon from time immemorial, guide boats and alert as tides rise and fall. They are periodically replaced after being carved by “little artists”, the molluscs, which have left, through a meticulous work of perfectly-round shaped holes, sign of their passage. Re-using the briccole in such a way as to transform them into an object with no need to imitate or make direct references to the lagoon is not easy, since our memories of them, our symbolic capital, are so strong that they unduly threaten to influence any attempt at re-designing.
