The COMPRESSIONI BASKET is a testament to refined design and impeccable craftsmanship. With his Compressioni project, Paolo Ulian has conceived a new way of forming sheet
metal, a method that reveals uncanny expressivity. Composed of a basket, a centrepiece
and an "unprecedented object", his triad of objects is a powerful encapsulation of the
experiments he entertained with a master turner at his side. The three containers are
first made on a lathe, then compressed to obtain the final shape. Trial after trial, it
became clear that the deformations caused by crushing the semifinished articles were
relatively controllable variables. The folds created on the bottom of the objects were
almost magically arranged in geometric patterns – squares, pentagons, hexagons and
octagons – giving fascinating regularity to the elements' unique differences.
