Cristina Celestino and the reinterpretation of the Tennis Club

Cristina Celestino’s research, which began in 2018 with Tram Corallo, Caffè Concerto Cucchi in 2019, and Florilegio in 2022, sets out to provide an evocative perspective on several iconic yet hidden locations in the city of Milan.

The wide range of interventions manifests itself in a complex design approach, involving the entire space, reinterpreting the genius loci, and generating new, unexpected relationships. Through the simplification of the existing architectural language, Cristina Celestino stages a role-play, overturning the perception of indoor spaces and generating a chromatic connection with the outdoor.

The research on the geometric connection between a line and a semicircle, one of Muzio’s favourite composition themes, becomes the connecting feature of the objects set out in space, for which the use of materials is always constituent and never decorative. Engaging in a detailed graphic rigour, the new flooring becomes a reference for the red clay courts, emphasising the rich decorations of the original marble flooring.

Furniture elements are arranged according to an out-of-scale logic, generating a new perspective order, that seeks to generate new identities and focus, thus pursuing the Muzio’s long yearn for asymmetry.
