Sometimes stories / myths / fantasy become HISTORY & TRADITION. Religion and faith can be our way to be strong and present and the culture of designing objects with special meaning become alive forever. The Feast of St. Agatha is the third most important religious feast in the entire globe.
Every year in Catania the festival takes place from 3th to 5th February, on the 12th February on the occasion of the ottava (the eight day after the Feast), and on the 17th August. The most important recurrence is certainly in February, since it recalls the martyrdom of the young Agatha, which took place on February 5th, 251 AD.

“Behind Agata there is a BLUE world made of warmth and passion coming from Sicily #🌊 🇮🇹 ☀️👸🏽💙. I want to thank 🙏🏾 all @orografie team for their fresh energy. Being proud of our origins and traditions it has to be a must in our contemporary way of designing new objects for an international market and the story of Agata #armchair is just a metaphor, an intimate souvenir able to make us talk about our heritage.

Last Milan Design Week I presented #agata my new Armchair designed for a sicilian new brand called O R O G R A F I E.
St. Agatha's is the third largest folk festival in the world. The story is relived by evoking the most "ornamental and rich" Design Icon: the Proust Armchair by #mendini. The mastery of Orografie is showcased in a new product designed and narrated by Aricò: AGATA. The work done by Mendini on Proust is reinterpreted by Aricò in a contemporary key with spray cans (for wood and fabric) in metallic colors. The armchair is designed starting from the symbols of the Reliquary Bust of St. Agatha made by Giovanni di Bartolo in 1376, rich in details. The technique used is wood carving performed with new technologies and the help of a master sculptor. A "naked" version serves as a canvas for the graphics painted directly by hand using a "graffiti" spray technique by Aricò. The themes of the unique VS serial production intertwine in a hybrid tale making tradition new again. #antonioarico@antonioarico
