Falling leaves, decorative wall decorations inspired by the far east.

Alessandra Meacci graduated in architecture in Venice and since 2006 has been designing and Interior Design.
Its ultimate goal is to make objects that are not consumed with a simple glance, but rather that they are everywhere to look at as unusual and exceptional pieces.
What Alessandra wants is to give life to pieces of design that interact with the environment, and that animates with light, drawing space with their shadowy texture. In her design, Alessandra Meacci does everything to make her objects alive and animated, for what she really loves is the well-defined volumes and the brilliant contractions between lights and shadows. The designer is fascinated by the natural elements that, together with the light, its shades, creates particular reflections and shadows that guide his continuous research.
"Falling Leaves" is a project that has been created by experimenting with laser cutting on sheet metal, which then turned into plexiglass laser cutting.
The decorative element is the stylization of a leaf and its veins. These are thought of as individual leaves or as groups of multiple elements, where, once folded together, some leaves seem to "get out" from the wall.
They were created as decorations for the walls, recalling the "ORIGAMI", ie the objects created by the art of folding the paper (ORI-folding, KAMI-paper), an art that is rooted in Japanese culture as well as in ancient Chinese traditions.


The designer's idea was to create three-dimensional elements that project a game of shadows and reflections on the wall, drawing the wall and the ceiling with a chiaroscuro texture; just like the shadow of a tree invested by sunlight. These elements throughout the day, as well as changing seasons, change with intensity and color. The atmosphere, full of shadows and lights, that is created inside the premises, with walls or ceilings decorated with these bright objects of different colors, changes with the passing of hours in function of the light and the rays of the sun penetrate from the outside through the windows or the windows. All of these effects, shadows, chiaroscuros, reflexes, and essentially the atmosphere, recalls the far and magical East: the shimmering reflections in a Japanese water garden, the geometric lines of a Zen garden.
The kit designed by Alessandra Meacci is designed to create a wall composition of about 170x110 cm; consists of 12 pieces of different shapes and materials.
For this first run the elements are blended in gold-plated plexiglass, bronze mirror plexiglass and opalescent white plexiglass; Each kit has eight individual leaves - two different geometries - and four sets of leaves - of two different types.
