Rug Firenze Porpora

designed by Mike Shilov
The La Scala collection was originally inspired by Mike Shilov's admiration for Italian architecture, particularly the beauty and variety of staircases as architectural elements. The collection is the result of research into the different functions of this element, from ancient times to modern and contemporary styles. The staircase, over the centuries, has served not only as an element of junction between different levels of a building; it has had celebratory, scenic, and monumental functions, as in neoclassical and baroque architecture; it has served and serves to ascend and descend in the space of elsewhere. The design, which in the collection reduces the element to its essentiality made up of lines, gravitates to a metaphysical space in the shades of different terrestrial and non-terrestrial landscapes.
