It's hard to get tired about the aerial perspective: a bird's eye view allows you indeed to look at things from another angle. But the aerial view of a landscape can also be transformed into abstract geometries, like Elena Salmistraro did in her decorative wall panel for Sicilian company Lithea.
Lithea produces cladding, flooring, accessories and indoor and outdoor furnishing and Salmistraro designed for the company a collection comprising different pieces of furniture inspired by the island of Pantelleria and one decorative panel that borrows from geology and the aerial view.
The panel represents indeed an aerial view of the Favare, sprays of volcanic steam that come out of the subsoil on the island of Pantelleria.
The view is rendered in a modern three-dimensional aesthetic and in a pleasant colour combination with a light blue marble base with sinuous bas-reliefs in white and manually applied copper leaf.
This may be a decorative panel, but the abstract shapes look extremely elegant and you wonder if, at some point, Salmistraro may turn this idea into jewelry pieces (the designer also creates accessories such as bags and at times jewelry collections). Time will tell, the decorative panel and the rest of the collection by Salmistraro will instead be showcased at the Lithea booth at the Salone del Mobile in Milan (from 7th to 12th June).
