Rosa Bertoli was born in Udine, Italy, and now lives in London. Since 2014, she has been the Design Editor of Wallpaper*, where she oversees design content for the print and online editions, as well as special editorial projects. Through her role at Wallpaper*, she has written extensively about all areas of design.
With a history of collaborating with emerging talent across Europe, AHEC has always demonstrated its strong support of the next generation of creatives. For Milan Design Week, AHEC partnered with Wallpaper* for Class of ‘24, held at Triennale from 16-21 April and showcasing work by emerging creatives working in furniture and product design.
The project focuses on American hard maple, a predominantly creamy-white, hard-wearing and versatile timber, which can be machined and polished to a smooth finish. The timber’s density makes it an ideal candidate for the creation of sculptural forms, something Parti and Nartey embraced in their projects. Hard maple makes up seven per cent of the hardwood growing stock in North America, its volume increasing by around eight million cubic metres each year.
‘The piece celebrates a practice that is so local to West Africa, presented in a new way, which gives emphasis to the “communal” by allowing multiple people to participate in the process of making fufu,’ says Nartey. ‘The everyday local ritual is therefore transformed into performance, exposing the beauty I have always seen in everyday Ghanaian life.
