Dubai – New Life for Ernesto Basile’s furnishings. Pieces of furniture in some cases now lost after a century (and beyond), have been rebuilt by students of the Industrial Design Lab of the Architecture Course of the University of Palermo with materials and technologies of our day. Liberty style pieces will soon be exported to the United Arab Emirates and Russia. As the website of the Sicilian University communicates, in the foreign market, a catalog with 20 patterns of the most significant collections (“Turin”, “Carretto Siciliano”, “Crustacei”) will be proposed. It is the result of three years of work by students coordinated by Professor Dario Russo, with the collaboration of the Caruso Handmade furniture factory in Palermo.
