DESIGN on the SUNNY SIDE of the STREET
qqtunci [ ku ku’‘ti u’ns␣i ] means: Who do you get together with? Who do you think you’re relating to? It is the name of a group of young Sicilian designers that share the will to freely express and confront themselves.
qqtunci belongs to a universe of realities of a South that wants to express itself through design.
qqtunci aims to read and interpret with attention and irony tradition, but even more new needs and behaviours.
qqtunci sees Palermo as a place of innovation, for those who want to propose new points of view: for those who want to design.
DESIGN ON THE SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET
qqtunci arrives at the Milan Design Week 2006 with an Ape, a itineraring exibition: a container of ideas, a contaminating virus that makes a performance of what surrounds it, transforming every area into a stage, A vehicle that is able to summon to the memory the journeys of immigrants in seek of success.
The three wheeled ferry of ideas, sounds and languages is a symbol that belongs to the image of the South, to a landscape bound to the past, but changing and that wants to change.
