The perfect meeting between design and the materiality of fur. The Austrian designer Carol Christian Poell who uses real hair, teeth and bones for his creations. The idea for this project came from his family who owns a leather goods company and in Poell's training which will play a fundamental role in his career, making him an expert in treating leather in a traditional way, so as to be able to experiment with surgical skills. And in fact all the distortions and manipulations that he will apply to this material over the course of his career are precisely linked to his great expertise on the topic. The set design reflects precisely on this concept, materiality and the animal concept, embodying a crucial theme of Poell.
Extreme experimentation and craftsmanship may seem like two very distant realities, based respectively on innovation and tradition. However, if we refer to a particular designer who in the Nineties stood out for his unique experimentalism, this distance is significantly shortened, that designer is Carol Christian Poell. His family owns a leather goods company that will play a crucial role in Poell's education, making him an expert in treating leather in the traditional way, so he can experiment with surgical skills. And in fact all the distortions and manipulations that he will apply to this material over the course of his career are precisely linked to his great experience on the topic. An avant-garde and radical fashion will be able to fully manifest itself, developed on the concept of matter and its constant transformation.
