THE FLUIDITY OF STONE AND THE SENSUALITY OF WATER. AS IN SCULPTURE, WHEN THESE ELEMENTAL OPPOSITES ARE UNIFIED THEY SPEAK TO AN ESSENTIAL TRUTH: A DESTABILIZING BALANCE THAT NICCOLÒ PASQUALETTI SEEKS THROUGH THEIR DESIGN.

THEIR APPROACH IS AN EXERCISE IN ACTIVE SIMPLICITY. UNSEEN SHAPES EMERGE FROM INTUITIONS, AN ERGONOMICS OF DESIGN WHICH ENABLES A DEEP INTEGRATION INTO EVERYDAY LIFE. THE BODY IS RESPECTED AS A WHOLE, SACRED AND INDIVISIBLE.

THE ARTFORMS OF CLOTHING AND JEWELLERY ARE UNDIFFERENTIATED IN PASQUALETTI'S VISION. EACH ACQUIRES THE QUALITIES OF THE OTHER: LONGEVITY COMMUNES WITH EPHEMERALITY.

BY EMBRACING THE SPONTANEITY OF FOUND OBJECTS, PASQUALETTI HAS UNEARTHED A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THE CONCEPT OF THE ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECE. ALTHOUGH FORMS COME TOGETHER IN CONCRETE WAYS, THEY SOON ENOUGH CHANGE AGAIN AND NOTHING IS EVER FINISHED.

WITH EXPERIENCE AS A DESIGNER AT THE ROW AND LOEWE, PASQUALETTI'S WORK IS DISTINGUISHED BY ITS FULL EMBRACE OF AMBIVALENT ANDROGYNY, ROOTED IN BIOMORPHISM. TRAINED IN VENICE AND BELGIUM, THEY WENT ON TO UNDERTAKE THEIR M.A. IN WOMENSWEAR AT CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS. UNDER THE STELLA MCCARTNEY SCHOLARSHIP THEY INTENSIFIED THEIR COMMITMENT TO THE SUSTAINABILITY OF THEIR METHODS AND MATERIALS, WHICH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GUIDING PHILOSOPHY FOR THEIR PRACTICE.
