POLENTA bags designed by Mathery Studio x Pijama

Polenta is made by grinding corn into flour, then boiled into a porridge. The north of Italy is divided between people who loves it creamy and thick and who like to let it set and slice it. Torn between the two ancient habits Mathery started playing with polenta. What it came out was an unexpected rocky looking landscape of cold polenta blocks.

Polenta is a limited edition of bags designed by Mathery for Pijama, the collection is composed by a Bucket Bag and a Sack. The black and white pattern portrays a unique vision of the Italian polenta celebrating the north of Italy, where both Pijama and Mathery Studio are based.

The two models, the women’s Bucket bag and the unisex Sack introduce cylindric and curvy shapes to the Pijama collection for the Spring Summer 2015.

You can purchase it in selected shops and on: crowdyhouse and www.pijama.it

Mathery, Product and Industrial Designers

Erika Zorzi and Matteo Sangalli are the duo behind Mathery - a design studio from Milan, Italy that works across product and industrial design, video and photography. 

Although they haven’t been in Melbourne long, the charming pair has certainly made their mark on the city (and beyond). Their colourful and quirky Fruit Wares Collection and the very unforgettable kids-only space at the NGV will surely make you want more.

We were lucky enough to snatch these lovely Italian imports for the limited edition golden Fruit Wares collection. 

What attracted you to the concept of ‘gold is the only love’ and how did it inform the result you produced?  

Our projects are normally a splash of colour - we’ve never worked with gold before. We’ve never felt ready for it for we had too many expectations! When we saw this luxurious material on the outside of our Fruit Wares it gave justice to the intricate texture of the fruit skins our homewares are made from.

What tools and/or technologies did you utilise in the work process of the piece you created?

We cast resin in silicone moulds made from model composed by real fruit skin.

As designers is there a particular characteristic that you feel makes your work unique?

We are very direct. We like the idea that we can communicate with people through our objects. Our work is intuitive, and at the same time, a discovery.

Jonathan Zawada said that the most effective way to think about a creative solution is not to think about it at all. Do you agree?

We think that sometimes a light bulb works better when switched off. So yes, when you think too much about having an idea… it just doesn’t arrive! 

Experimentation is the leading method Sample Brew uses to break the opinion of norms both in perception and production. How do you utilise experimentation in your own work?

Experimentation is our job, is what sits between the idea and the final product, we wouldn’t do anything interesting if we would be stuck into the classic idea of design. Experimentation is the desire of a change. Keep your hands dirty!

Last but not least, describe Gold Ale in five words or less. 

Buo-nis-si-ma!
