Presented at Homi Fiera Milano on 26 January 2023, the pineapple secret-box is a container with a concealed opening system suitable for storing precious objects, mementos or simply sweets.
Polychromy is the leitmotif of this work, inspired by the pineapple fruit as a symbol of abundance and good luck charm that has been a hallmark of Massimo Caiazzo’s work since the 1990s, which tells of a curious and ironic world suspended between the artificial and natural worlds. The pineapple secret-box measures 14 cm in diameter and 27 cm in height and is produced in a limited edition, entirely hand-decorated and 3D-printed with Luminy® PLA, derived from eco-compostable and therefore sustainable corn starch. Assistant Saqlain Mohammed; 3D printing realisation Candy’s International; co-ordination Paola Maltese.
