Gio’ Ponti was born in Milan, studied architecture in Milan and died in Milan. He argued that ‘architecture is a crystal’. One of his most well-known creations is the chair ‘superleggera’ -which stands for ‘superlight’. On 1955 ‘Villa Planchart’ was completed in Caracas; the ‘butterfly house’ that lights up in the dark.

For Bataille, a dictionary begins when it no longer gives the meaning of words but their tasks, as in the case of the artistic vocabulary of the exhibition Memento Mori, hosted by the retail design office Sherman&Co. among plenty of m2 of white Corian. The dead man’s patterns once serving as a base for the construction of his bespoke suits are transformed into paper skulls and the leftovers of this process take their ordered places, abstractly, on a black canvas. Savile Row clients are donating their unique patterns to Art as an outcome of remembering their mortality. Memento Mori, as additional pieces -made of brown card- to the biography of a bon vivant.
