UTO BALMORAL IT’S NOT ME.

"Non credo nel Design credo nelle idee"

Uto Balmoral è un personaggio provocatoriamente creato per essere lui stesso prodotto, progetto del designer. Un progetto artistico che scaturisce da una personale riflessione sulla situazione del design contemporaneo. Uto definisce la propria immagine partendo dalla negazione di essa in un gioco di equilibri tra la volontà/necessità di apparire e quella di nascondersi. Esordisce nel 2011 con la mostra Maybe/Forse presso la DAAL Gallery di zona Ventura durante la settimana milanese del Design presentando la collezione in serie limitata di tavoli “Unstables” e la famiglia di lampade “The Putrella’s Connection” La ricerca di Uto è quella di un design che abbia valenza espressiva, metaforica, che inneschi un processo che vada oltre l’estetica e la funzionalità come uniche ragioni d’essere.

Clienti: Tonelli Design, Luce 5, Officinanove, D3CO, Mogg, Durame,Seletti, collabora con artisti e gallerie di fama internazionale.


"I don’t believe in design. I believe in ideas"

Uto Balmoral it’s not me. Uto Balmoral is a character provokingly created to be a product himself, a project of the designer. The idea comes from a personal consideration about the concept of the ‘Designer as griffe’. The consciousness rising of this phenomenon gave birth, with declared irony, to the new character Uto. Uto traces his own image starting from the denial of himself in a game of particular balances between the will/necessity of appearing and hiding. The central thread of Uto’s work is the simple necessity to communicate, to provoke, to generate something into the public, to force out a smile, to cause thinking, to spark off a reaction, to start a process able to go over the aesthetical sense and functionality and centering in this the principal scope of his work. First of all his objects are communicating, they are places where you can find a clear message. I don’t believe in design. I believe in ideas.
