The spinning top is an ancient toy, indeed, very ancient. It is present in cultures around the world and has always gathered groups of children who, with dexterity and skill, challenge each other to keep it spinning as long as possible. There is an interesting version, widespread in the Mediterranean area since the times of Magna Graecia and still produced in some areas of Calabria.
\nIt is called \u201cStrummo, Strummolo, Pirrocciolo\u2026\u201d We have named it Pir\u00f2, inspired by the name it is known by in Grecanic Calabria, \u201cPiroce.\u201d
\nPir\u00f2 is not just a simple spinning top, but an object with a dual soul. It can be disassembled, inverted, and reassembled to form a dancing figure. Even the string, a functional element used to launch the top, changes its meaning, becoming a decorative element that adorns the dancer\u2019s skirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n

\n\n

Both characters are united by the theme of motion, dance, and evolution.
\nBeing in motion, an aspect inherent in the very nature of the spinning top, becomes an abstract concept when it transforms into the static dancing figure, a projection of imaginary twirls.
\nThe theme of movement and action is also the goal of our project, which arises from the desire to create an object capable of interacting with its user, to surprise and to reflect on the importance of memory and traditions that have allowed this game to traverse the centuries and reach us today.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n
