mission that we daily accomplish with the same basic requirements. They express their gratitude for
the way that we sometimes bring this usefulness
in an almost neutral kind of way. We are providing
a service to readers worldwide and we are serving
with a purpose of diffusing information with criteria
and professional ethical principles.
We dont feel that we are better than other media or that we are the ultimate place to search for
information. A few things we know is that we are
being efficient with those who follow us and that we
have never used information to generate influence
in order to obtain income or profit. We know also
that we are not a flashy magazine and that we will
be feature at lists created by media gurus. The minimal approach it is not due to lack of commitment
it is our own way to express simplicity with criteria.
The magazine and social network users are growing
and this gives us the feedback we need on how in
fact the service we are providing is functioning with
some dignity.
Finally we like to underline that our mission is going
to be carried out and keeping in mind that we can
always improve and do better. I will not hide that
with all these facts it is expectable that we could increase the interest of those investing in media. Our
best wishes and a wonderful 2016!

ERRATA
On the November/December 2015 edition the DESIGN MAGAZINE provided wrong information about
drupa writing that the fair it is run every four years
when in fact since this year of 2016 the event organized by the Messe Dusseldorf is switching to a
three-year cycle. We would like to express our sincere apologies for our mistake to the Messe Dusseldorf and to the readers.
The drupa is the world's leading trade fair for print
and cross-media solutions and will switch to a threeyear cycle after 2016, when it runs from May the 31st
to June the 10th.
The entire print process chain has changed radically because of the Internet and digital technologies.
New applications and solutions are developing and
opening up new fields of business. At the same time,
there is more focus on innovative technologies, such
as 3D printing, printed electronics and functional
printing, explains Claus Bolza-Schnemann, Chairman of the drupa Advisory Board and President Koe8

defining it as complete concept. Whats not true, given there isnt spirit without body the same for
the contrary, unless it is corpses body. And its even
needed to know how the health of both spirit and
body depends on the balanced relationship between
them nobody arrives anywhere only by thinking;
its need to go and to know how to go so as to arrive and to arrive without big problems, at least.
All artistic projects as all human projects, naturally have its beginning in the mind, which needs
the body as tool to become the dreams into physical
matter; as something to be seen and touched; as
image from the physical answer to the spiritual wish.
Art is no more than the result of cooperation between spirit and body, both working on producing
images that reflect the affective involvement...
As Da Vinci proclaimed, La pittura cosa mentale /

When we paint whatever the style or model, physical or imaginary we obey to the Nature laws.
Although the Life paints with pigment-light and we
paint with pigment-matter, all days begin by release
themselves from the dark blues, passing through the
reds and yellows until they reach the white. Its the
noon.
After that, the days continue their trip but making
the opposite route, climbing down by the spectrum:
white, yellows, reds and closing themselves in the
dark blues also through the way how the days
born and die we can realize how the Life repeats
itself, as though there is no more than the endless
cycle of cycles.
Its always the same. When we want darken any color or tonality but preserving its character, we have to
do it by adding a mix of blue and red whatever is
the kind of speech, representational or abstract.
So, starting from here Ill direct my writing to the
representational painting; Ill express my thoughts
about the concrete and its variations, from the formal or excessively formal as the hyper-realism
till the informal or casual, as I like to call it when the
painting is supported on the free gesture.
Why, representational? There is not another kind of
art or whatever beyond it. Any color or shape represents something; any signal, gesture or expression
has its meaning. Consciously or unconsciously, when
we make a gesture, any gesture, we are sending
a message, once there is no signal without corresponding message; there is no cause without effect
or consequence; every movement has a purpose

INTERVIEW
Marva Griffin Wilshire
Born in Venezuela she took Milan as her city of adoption when in the seventies she embraced the work in the
field of design and furnishing. In 1998 she created the SaloneSatellite the showcase of Salone Internazionale
del Mobile in Milan, Italy, focused on young designers, students and design schools which shes the curator
since the first edition until nowadays. Marva Griffin Wilshire shes head of the international press office but
she represents more than just a key element of Cosmits organization and the Compasso DOro recognition of
working life achievement awarded last year underlines how her persona is so influential among the international
design scene.

How you came up with the idea for SaloneSatellite? Why was it important to give specific fairground room to young designers?
There was a need for young designers to show
their prototypes to the furniture industry and manufacturers that were at Salone del Mobile and, at
that time, no one, nor organizations, nor trade
fairs, nor companies were taking into consideration young designers. Now, after the success of
SaloneSatellite, every institution has copied us.
This is okay as long as they take young designers seriously, and they give to them what they are
promising. However the success of SaloneSatellite
is the Italian furniture industry that works with designers from all over the world.
When SaloneSatellite is almost about to
reach 20 years of continuous exhibitions,
which key evolutions youve notice when
regarding its participants and the products
quality standards?
Every year there is an evolution: innovation, new
materials, for which young designers are very attentive on this subject.
Last year you were awarded the Compasso
dOro working life achievement and most recently you were nominated under a short list
of the most influential persons on the design
scene. How do feel about all this recognition?
Im grateful to all these institutions and magazines
that recognize my work and Im very happy about
it. This encourages me to do my job in the best
way.
Which sort of challenges comes to your perception when thinking of Salones upcoming
editions?
There is a lot to do in order that Salone del Mobile
continues to be the leader in this field when the
world travels to Milan to see the best furniture,
lighting, kitchen, bathroom etc., where innovation
is the leader.
For you good design stands for ?
Good design for me is what makes us live much
better.
