2019 edition
Wunder Wood 2019 is the University – Enterprise Collaboration Project organised by Fabbro Arredi in collaboration with Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera (Milan) and Faculty of Architecture of Ljubljana in designing an objet that draws its inspiration from the Wunderkammer.
The subject: The Wunderkammer
Wunder Wood leads us to ask ourselves what a Wunderkammer (Cabinet of Wonder) is; for me it is setting the thought process in motion; it’s also a form of collecting that involves a wide variety of objects. Wunder Wood seeks out the same wonder in an object but is specialised in the use of wood.
Other readings on the topic and possible ideas:
1. Private collections, unusual collections and new collectors all over the world;
2. Science. In the Wunderkammer this usually was expressed through sumptuous jewellery, machines and stills;
3. Naturalia and everything that was discovered about nature. Corals, coconuts, stones, fossils and minerals for cutting. Eccentricity and bizarreness are defined by rare, unknown materials;
4. The cross-eyed view, in other words, objects produced by other cultures. Masks, jewels and implements;
5. Magic and its follow-on effects.
