Majolika
Between the 19th and 20th Century, the architect Otto Wagner was one of the most prominent figures of the Art Nouveau
movement in Vienna, a cultural movement that encompasses all artistic forms and that advocates for a return to nature,
not unoriginally copied but recreated with exquisite stylization. Wagner’s work is characterised by rigorous composition,
straight lines and simple patterns. All of these elements are clear even when he introduces decoration on the surface,
which does not alter the purity of its forms. This is the case for the Majolikhaus, where the façade is decorated with a
very delicate, nature-inspired pattern.
For the design of this pattern, I took inspiration from Wagner’s work. My purpose is to suggest those floral decorations
through the naturalistic designs of the chart, but still enclose these decorations in a stricter twisted rib design.
A cavallo fra l’800 ed il ‘900, l’architetto Otto Wagner fu figura dominante della cosiddetta Art Nouveau viennese,
movimento culturale che investì tutte le arti col ritorno alla natura “non pedissequamente imitata ma ricreata, ricostituita
sui raffinati schemi lineari della nuova stilizzazione”. Wagner si distinse per il rigore compositivo, la predilezione della
linea retta e l’utilizzo di schemi compositivi semplici, elementi che appaiono evidenti anche laddove inserisce la
decorazione grafica della superficie senza alterare la purezza della struttura, come nella Majolikhaus dove la facciata si
contraddistingue per la delicatezza dell’ornato naturalistico.
Nel creare questo nuovo modello ho voluto riproporre le suggestioni degli elementi floreali attraverso il disegno di un
pannello dalla forte connotazione naturalistica, inserito in una più rigorosa matrice costituita dalla lavorazione a coste
ritorte.
