Bestiarium is a series of snow-white porcelain, the result of an experimental collaboration between the artist Maria Volokhova and the design studio “Shapes in Play”. At the Salone Satellite in Milan, the creative duo has presented a series of hybrid creatures, a cross between pets and monsters, made of snow-white quality porcelain.

The dinner table becomes a kind of circus, with performances by dishes shaped like fish, turtle teapots, dishes with covers shaped like turkeys, pig heads and chickens. Populating the table with characters that seem stolen from the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch, the creators point out that the border between marvel and monstrosity is thin, becoming even more slender with the realization of virtuoso pieces.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
