Manolo Bossi says of himself: "I like to say that I am the son of iron and glass artisan entrepreneurs. I acquired a training in the art of wood, moving from school workshops to cabinet making to my parents' workshop, experimenting and manipulating the material , always intrigued by the charm and meaning of doing things. I try to convey an idea through a few signs, a few colors: I love white and black, traditional materials and subtraction as a design method. I love pure shapes and draw inspiration from the 60s for their positivity. I love technology that for me must not always be exposed, but intrinsic to the project. I listen with pleasure to the silence and I consider myself "slow addict" in the most transversal sense of the term. I like to give shape to the materials. without forcing their nature, but gently following them, making their potential explicit. I hope to arouse curiosity and pleasure to those who benefit from my projects and why not, I hope they can r insult honest and intelligent, ........ better if intelligently honest.
