FEDRIGONI MEETS ARTISTS

ABOUT

We believe inspiration is to be experienced. To do so we put creatives’ perspectives first and let them guide us.

In 2021 we invited 6 brilliant artists from across the globe to use the Paper Box as a blank canvas, giving shape to visual artworks. In the last edition, we’ve heard how creativity can even generate music from paper. Could you have expected music to come from paper? Probably not, but it can!

Our Paper Box is designed to give life to the best ideas: Paper Box is designed for masters.

The music edition

HOW DOES CREATIVITY SOUNDS LIKE?

DAVIDE "BOOSTA" DILEO made the paper play! The performance of the Italian rock band Subsonica co-founder showed how to use the different features of the paper to create unique sounds, an amazing performance.

Paper is not an inert material but has become alive, like the music it has generated.
