Moooi invites Aricò to create a collection to talk about Italy and its stories. The newly launched collection was presented from an "imaginary place" during Milano Design Week. Aricò, therefore, decided not to be physically present in Milan and presented the new collection from an "imaginary place" on his Instagram account. For the Bisanto Collection Aricò got his inspiration from Byzantine mosaics found in Italy. Each piece is “secretly” inspired by real Italian historical masterpieces that are reinvented starting from eclectic inspirations and ending into renovated traditions. Indeed, all the IKONAS of the collection hide a secret inspiration belonging to Italian History of Art, coming both from North & South. Aricò doodles become vivid icons making Italian tradition new again. The result is a collection of carpets and pillows where bidimensional signs get mixed with 3D elements, where the mosaic becomes soft and flocked as velvet and heavy precious printed jewels become as light as fabric.
