Risonanze.

A project by Marco Guazzini for 5VIE Curated by Maria Cristina Didero Risonanza is a word that does not exhaust itself in its definition, because it asks something of those who encounter it. It expands through use, shifts shape through experience, gathers weight over time. In physics, resonance describes the phenomenon by which a system begins to vibrate when it meets its natural frequency – an invisible accord between bodies that recognise one another. In art, it can be something quieter and more enduring: the emotional, psychological and intellectual imprint a work leaves long after the encounter has ended. It is what remains when the object is no longer before us. The Italian designer Marco Guazzini is a practitioner who refuses to be confined by categories. In his work, art, design and architecture are not separate disciplines but adjacent territories, crossed with the same curiosity and the same precision. His is a practice that thinks in systems yet acts through intuition, that builds rigour without sacrificing surprise. It is within this boundary space – productive, unstable, never entirely resolved – that Risonanze takes shape, presented at Le Cavallerizze of 5VIE during Milan Design Week 2026. The installation, like the materials, is entirely handcrafted in Marco Guazzini’s workshop in Pietrasanta, in collaboration with Anna Sanetra for the organization of the project. @ana_senestra_design
