Italian sound engineer and composer Chiara Luzzana created the soundtrack for Alessi and played it on dishes from the Extra Ordinary Metal collection to illustrate the emotional side of the design.

“I create music using sounds from everyday life. Everything that can be seen can also be heard, ”says Chiara. The idea to “voice” some objects of Alessi appeared at a meeting of the composer with representatives of the brand during the Milan Triennial at the Alessi exhibition IN-possibile. In their opinion, the work of the subject designer and music author is united by uncertainty, unpredictability of the result.

Extra Ordinary Metal - a series of items made of brass. It is this material that the brand used in the 1920-30s. The models have modern outlines, but they were created using traditional technologies. On the surfaces is a relief pattern - it is applied using granulation techniques following the example of Etruscan jewelers, and the location of the pattern is set using the Fibonacci sequence. The result is a tactile surface that beautifully reflects light. And, as it turned out, it creates interesting sound effects. History, design, culture, metamorphosis, and decor are some of the concepts that a project explores through sounds drawn from trays, dishes, plates, and vases for fruit.
