This ongoing series of sculptures portrays the idea of Autopoiesis. It is a system that produces more of its own complexity than the one produced by the environment. The human being itself is an autopoietic system, a complex and adaptive system that is able to self-organize and preserve that organization, despite the interactions with the outer environment. Morghen is a multidisciplinary studio that works on the boundaries between design, art and craftsmanship. They rely on techniques passed on by the artisan heritage mixed with experimentation and contemporary materials. Every single piece is conceived, developed and handcrafted in a carefully renovated old carpenter’s shop located in the Milanese Bovisa district. Every single piece evolves from and assimilates previous theoretical and practical research. Every single piece is unique. Their work encompasses objects, furniture, lighting and spaces.
