“If fairy tales didn’t exist they would have to be invented.”
Fairy tales evoke memories and feelings and are part of our everyday life. The tales are indeed a piece of magic that has remained unchanged over the centuries.
Each word, sound and intonation, each pause in the story has a specific role and all together they contribute to the establishment of a parallel universe where, enthralled by the same magic, storytellers and listeners come together. Its very specific symbols with commonly employed symbols and objects for everyday use.
A bridge between truth and fiction, between physics and imagination. Once Upon A Time, the collection designed by Maurizio Galante & Tal Lancman, aims at joining the world of fairy tales. "Unique” moments to treasure and that can lead one to dream and fly with one’s fantasy.
DESIGNER
MAURIZIO GALANTE & TAL LANCMAN
In 2003 designer Maurizio Galante teamed up with trend forecast analyst and designer Tal Lancman, to form INTERWARE.
Their crossover vision transverses the different design disciplines, from fashion to furniture, interiors, lights, food, architecture and gardening.
As the duo moves freely between disciplines, they revisit domains equipped with new understandings, insights and observations. The process results in a multi-faceted concept, with a subtle balance between the pragmatic and the irrational.
The team follows all steps of design and production, from trend research, to all aspects of marketing, including definition of brand image, strategy, communication, packaging, and presentation.
Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman have presented their work and installations at MUDAM Museum of Modern Art Grand-Duc Jean, Luxembourg. Fondation Cartier pour l’art Contemporain, Paris, MOMA Museum of Modern Art, New-York, and Pitti Immagine - Palazzo Pitti, Florence.
Maurizio Galante and Tal Lancman have curated several design exhibitions, and in 2003 have been assigned design curators for MUDAM, Museum of Modern Art Grand–Duc Jean, Luxembourg, conceptualizing and collaborating on content selection for the museum's store and restaurant, researching and collaborating with artists, designers, and artisans, and developing installations for special events.

SNOW.WHITE
Tiny marble objects whose shapes are absolutely recognisable: Pinocchio’s profile becomes an elegant candle holder in white Carrara marble with a brass stand which, as it gets dark, makes the famous long-nosed puppet become a bit more sincere.
Snow White’s apple is transformed into Snow.White, an elegant object holder (available in black or white marble) with an inner mirror and details in galvanic gold brass. Design has always been the art that has known how to best accompany us in everyday life – state the designers – This collection of objects wants to clad it with poetry, ensuring that even the simplest gestures can inspire and turn into short moments of rare beauty.
The Once Upon A Time Collection enriches the Selection d’Object, a line of small-sized objects launched last year by Opinion Ciatti, that includes small recognisable objects with a strong identity and never banal.
