Daeyoung Byun: The Fable Teller

Daeyoung Byun, a contemporary sculptor from South Korea, brings a unique perspective with his creations. His work is a captivating blend of "animal-human" motifs, serving as metaphors for pressing societal issues. Byun skillfully explores the "animalisation of humans" and the "humanisation of animals," shedding light on how capitalism can erode ethics and subjugate nature under the weight of culture.

In Byun's visual language, we find a poignant commentary on contemporary problems, particularly the ecological crises that surround us. What sets his work apart is its avoidance of didacticism and clichés; instead, it offers a canvas for diverse interpretations. Byun's art gently urges us to care for the multifaceted aspects of life, instilling endurance in the face of challenges. Through his perceptive fables, he empowers us to confront harsh realities while fostering remembrance without lamentation.

Gio Bagnara: Crafting Narratives in Design.

Giorgio Bagnara, hailing from a lineage skilled in the art of living, developed a passion for his craft early on. In the late 1990s, he noticed the underutilization of fashion industry leather in home accessories, which led to the inception of GIOBAGNARA. His vision was to create a comprehensive collection, and together with his wife Vanessa, they relocated their design studios and workshops to the historic Port of Genoa. This marked a pivotal moment for the company's growth. Surrounded by the essence of the port, GIOBAGNARA flourished, bridging fashion and home decor with innovative leather-based designs.
