On January 26, INDUSTRY, 21st Century international design gallery premiered NATURE AND DESIGN, an exhibition of work by Antonio Pio Saracino in Los Angeles. The Italian-born architect and designer lives and works in New York and Italy.

NATURE AND DESIGN derives its inspiration from as far back as Greek philosopher Aristotle and makes reference to objects that do not belong in nature but, through habitual use, these ‘foreign’ items become natural within the created human environment. Throughout history this concept has inspired many leading thinkers to investigate and explore the parallel between nature and human design – the root of Antonio’s recent work.
In the spirit of this complex relationship, NATURE AND DESIGN intends to create an environment that unites the natural world with spirit and imagination and manifests itself through influential seating and furniture for a brave new world.
