St. Agatha's is the third largest folk festival in the world. The story is relived by evoking the most "ornamental and rich" icon of Design the Proust Armchair by Mendini. The mastery of Orografie is told in a new product designed and narrated by Aricò: AGATA. The work done by Mendini on Proust is reinterpreted by Aricò in a contemporary key with spray cans (for wood and fabric) in metallic colors. The armchair is designed starting from the symbols of the Reliquary Bust of St. Agatha made by Giovanni di Bartolo in 1376, rich in details. The technique used is wood carving performed with new technologies and the help of a master sculptor. A "naked" version serves as a canvas for the graphics painted directly by hand with a "graffiti" spray technique by Aricò. The themes of the unique serial VS intertwine in a hybrid narrative made of new traditions.
