Every Shoe Needs A Box

2008
Diego Dolcini Boutique, Milano, It

Not a classic shoe boutique, but rather a site-specific installation, the first Diego Dolcini space in Milan was created by young designer Martino Gamper. In this concept of an interior Gamper removes the boundaries between art, fashion and design, transforming the usual, traditional shoebox, into a recurring symbolic and structural element, at the origin of spectacular accumulations and divisions of the space. Retaken and reproduced in different woods, reinvented and embellished by natural tones and textures, it evokes memories of contexts and contests, of rules and rituals of shoemaking. The shoe is the omnipresent yet invisible leading figure. Taken from the press release.
