“In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Roman Opałka began painting a process of counting – from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers were painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist called a ‘detail’, took up counting where the last left off. Each ‘detail’ is the same size (196 x 135 cm), the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw. All details have the same title, “1965 / 1 – ∞”; the concept had no end, and the artist pledged his life to its execution: ‘All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life.’”

“Visionary, excessive, day-dreamer, Fabio Novembre admits that his creations come out from personal needs more than from collective ones. With his seductive spaces and iconic objects – chairs that are the negative of the human body, trays inspired to famous Italian squares, table with rope legs, sofa as endless stripes, armchairs as masks, Fabio Novembre has become one of the most interesting and leading designer at international level. His projects born for telling stories and his points of reference come, apart from the big names belonging to the contemporary design field, also from examples taken from cinema, music, art, nature, fashion in a continuous crossed reference, relations, connections and resemblances that is “a never-ending source of life and continuos inspiration”. We are still pretty wondered of having obtained this exclusive interview so enjoy it before he realizes it! Pìcame meets Fabio Novembre.”
