Andreina Baiano: 10:48pm May 19, 2003: Ciao Cristina, si tratta del titolo di un paragrafo che inizia con la frase sottostante? - Cristina Giannetti (asker): 10:29am May 20, 2003: si - si, è il titolo.
Erklärung: Ciao Cristina, ti offro la mia interpretazione (discutibile anziché no!): a mio avviso con questo testo s'intende sottolineare che queste poltrone o sdraio sono talmente comode da risultare quasi come vere e proprie estensioni del proprio corpo, come se le membra fossero un tutt'uno con la seduta.
A sostegno della mia teoria, un sito che forse avrai trovato anche tu, da cui traggo questo estratto:
Body extensions
I interpreted the topic „coding and decoding reality“ in a very physical way. By defining/decoding my own body as tangible reality, I found my starting point. After this „external anatomy“ research, I followed a trial and error path of experimenting with shapes, places and materials. The results are my way of recoding the interaction between the human body and daily life‘s artifacts.
I made volumes you can wear as „body extensions“. The human body was used as a mould to come to 3d organ-like shapes. By holding condoms filled with plaster on different places, I got a wide variety of shapes. These shapes match the outside of the body perfectly. Different kinds of techniques are used to come to the final shell-parts. I pressed wet felt and leather between double-sided moulds. I used the plaster shapes as well as their moulds to vacuum-form polystyrene on. I did experiments with putting different self-adhesive materials on the polystyrene, before and after vacuum-forming it. This made me come to external body add-ons, which demand to be cared for and cherished as the body itself. In this way I try to make the user more bonded to the product.
Buon lavoro!

\"una collezione di estensioni del corpo\"
(collezione e non raccolta perché parliamo di pezzi d\'arte, imho) ;)

body extension e`prolungamento, allungamento, e qui e` usato secondo me come si usa "seduta" per indicare qualcosa dove ci si siede
una collezione di comode "sedute"
una collezione di "sedute" in plastica
quindi "allungamenti" per indicare qualcosa dove ci si allunga, intendendo sdraio, lettini per il sole, ecc.
