It is not always possible for taste to follow a straight road, because it is linked to the social and political situations in which we live. Man's need to be more introspective, attracted by mysticism and non-rational figures, full of ancient, spiritual meaning, has produced a gothic look, made up forms that are complex, harsh, excessive, lacking colour and very stylised. This look has evolved into a "new liberty", lightening the original heaviness, for example bringing a skull to be associated with a spray of flowers. The gloominess of the times has felt the need to become lighter. AUTHOR: Vincenzo Sguera, an Italian architect, has been working in the field of design, fashion, textiles and accessories, directing several creative studios and developing products for many companies at an international level since 1977.
