Terenzi Srl in 2016 realizes the original project of the designers Maurizio Galante & Tal Lancman conceived for the Arteum library/boutique of the Carnavalet Museum. Ad hoc furniture and decorations are therefore created and a spectacular ceiling installation that stages "the Sky of Paris", an installation of thin gilded, copper and silver metal strips, laser cut which represents the city crossed by the Seine, with its historic buildings, Notre-Dame, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe.
A motionless Paris, suspended in time and space: the most loved and visited city in the world, the Ville Lumière. We are in the Arteum space, a bookshop/boutique at the Carnavalet Museum of the city, one of the best known and most renowned with its collections dating back to the modern age with furniture, objects and reconstructions dating back to the Louis XIV, Louis XV styles but also hints at Bastille, at the time of the Second Empire or the more recent and well-known writer Marcel Proust. A symbolic place of the city located in the heart of the Marais district, where the Parisian nobility began to operate urban planning in the 16th and 17th centuries.
9,500 metal "sheets" fall from the ceiling which together reproduce and pay homage to the symbolic buildings of the city, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame. Gilded on a silver background, they face upside down on both sides of the Seine, represented by small copper-colored blades. All around other "flakes" of silver metal cover what remains of the ceiling of Arteum. The gaze then descends on the walls and lingers on their geometric symmetry. Each space is organized to collect books and objects in a rational way. On the walls, QBò Caoscreo, Terenzi's brand, modular bookcase by Maurizio Galante, Tal Lancman and Luca Terenzi and two large technical tables made ad hoc and in identical colors emerge discreetly, painted in light ivory.
All the metal parts made for this project were obtained from combined cycle laser/punching, shearing and press-bending technology, which made the multiplicity of creations possible. The environmental impact is minimal, the different metals used guarantee recyclability and eco-sustainability thanks to their intrinsic characteristics.
To recall the successful development of the bookcase, TERENZI SRL was asked to create a reception counter made entirely of QBò modules, which were arranged leaving only one side open to the inside, to create a containment area. Even the top was obtained by covering a layer of mdf in painted steel, in order to obtain a mono-material table.
From an aesthetic point of view, everything was achieved through the aforementioned light ivory color since this color characterizes the architectural history of Parisian buildings: the chromatic and stylistic study was carried out by Tal Lancman.
