Broadway

Towel holder

Pollini Home | 2022

An expanse of bright squares that seem to shimmer as they move in an orderly fashion along a regular grid of streets and intersections. Movement, rhythm, life. This is “Broadway Boogie-Woogie”, a work by Mondrian, master of geometric abstraction, which inspired the “Broadway” towel holder designed for Pollini Home. Here too, as in Mondrian’s works, the interweaving of vertical and horizontal lines generates a spatial grid. However, this grid does not close in on itself to incorporate shapes and colors, but rather is interrupted to give life to a path of closed roads, broken lines that serve as towel holders.

Breaking away from the two-dimensionality of the canvas, the Broadway towel holder becomes a frame capable of transcending its function and becoming a sculptural element that separates spaces.
Just as in Mondrian every line interacts with the whole, in Broadway every support is related to the others and to its frame.
