Nuova e antica SardegnaNju:design
Modern design tells of a primitive and rural land: Sardinia. For Tenute Vignola, we looked at Nuragic Art, a window on the past and this island’s first great contribution to the world of art. We were particularly inspired by Nuragic bronzes, bronze statuettes that served as votive offerings. What struck us about these objects was their extreme simplicity, translated, on Tenute Vignola’s labels, into pure forms and primary colours. Portal to a hypothetically infinite road of forms that are always different and yet always recognisable as part of a single identity. Indeed, in what appears to be a work of extreme synthesis, the presence of the elements that characterised the works that inspired us remains constant and recognisable. Here then appear, ancient and new at the same time, shields, headgear, cloaks and weapons. In the shield, the Sardinian proverb ‘in su binu sa veridade’ is always repeated.
