Armel Soyer at Salon Art + Design
I have read, listened, written, drawn, painted, photographed, visited… Everything can be more interesting if you remain curious, if you do not lose the desire to learn and experiment. I pause to observe the contrasts of colors, the different points of view of a shot, the sound of synonyms with which the same thing can be described, the harmony of a painting. A note can also be color, poetry is also melody, an image can scream more than one word. The expression: that's all... it's all here. (Editorial Director - Art Director)
To talk about myself I would use the English concept of Language Enthusiast, with its bad translation into Italian. Years of study, travel and authentic and pulsating passion for what lies beyond the border converge in this expression. I have an indiscriminate interest in any culture and any person with a story to tell. I remain with difficulty compressed in my dimension, I feel the continuous need to push myself further. I can't stand the innuendo, the half sentences and the boredom of waiting rooms. Certainly communicative, analytical, I split reality into a thousand pieces and then reassemble it. I think and write in 4 languages, which I love all of them, because inside they sing me a beautiful song. (Editor - Translator).
What unites Piacentini's Architecture with Greenaway's Cinema, Munari's Design with Tiepolo's painting and Kandiskij's studies? What unites the election posters with the paper tickets we used for the tram? For visual culture, the challenge of the third millennium lies in seeing the red thread that binds each of its branches to tell the image and aesthetics. I would like to do it through a passion that comes from the tradition of classic cinema. After all, what is the history of Design if not the cerebral attempt to give a soul to matter, to plagiarize the form according to its most hidden meaning and all to be revealed? (Editor - Reporter)

New York, November 2022
WAVE11, the work by Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman, created by PLANIUM, was the protagonist in the Armel Soyer space at the Salon Art + Design. Park Avenue Armory has in fact just hosted an exhibition of four intense days (November 10-14) on world design - vintage, modern, current - from the main galleries, highlighting trends.
The gallery owner Armel Soyer has devoted to the decorative arts of our century, trying to harmonize contemporary creation with traditional craftsmanship to enrich spaces through attention to ornaments, natural materials and for poetry in contemporary design.
WAVE11, the wave with 200 precious and recyclable oxidized brass and copper inserts, already presented at the Milan Design Week in Brera last June, was the highlight of the installation.
Time and Energy - says Maurizio Galante referring to WAVE11 - are the key players in this experimental project, a project that tends to narrate the transformation by fixing its instant... what the Japanese call 'MU', a moment so close to everything.
PLANIUM, which has always been attentive to materials, recyclability and sustainability, has chosen Grifal's cushionPaper to guarantee the perfect protection of WAVE11 during all the logistics phases, green packaging partner of PLANIUM.
This particular corrugated cardboard reduces, for the same volume, CO2 emissions and avoids the problems associated with disposal; even the amount of paper used to make the corrugated cardboard is limited up to 70%.
