“A new type of architectural complement with variable conformation – portal, gazebo – for the comfort of outdoor living spaces, able to become a tidy element of space as well as an efficient functional response to the need for shade.”
This is the motivation given by the jury of the prestigious award for the victory of the innovative product born from the collaboration of Talenti with the famous Italian architect and designer Marco Acerbis.
“I smile when I think back to the process with which MrX was born – says Marco Acerbis – It all started with my mistake, in the sense that I was designing a tent that somehow had to have an X in a certain position and then, not happy, basically turning the sketch that I was doing, I realized that it would work much better in another direction. From there, there was a succession of intuitions that led to what is the ultimate object that then won the Compasso d’Oro.”
“MrX – summarizes Marco Acerbis during the award ceremony of the XVIII Compasso D’Oro – is a completely innovative concept of space and product where existing technologies have been used to the extreme of their potential to create a new concept of outdoor tent where the iteration of the user magically transforms a two-dimensional portal into one three-dimensional space“.
