Pierluigi has an extraordinary sensory condition called synesthesia. As a synesthete, he experiences one of his senses through another - "seeing" colour when hearing music, inspiring a lifelong fascination with colour and sound, and informing his work as an artist.
Vocum 21" vivid colour combinations are chords of "two voices". The colour, shape and materiality of Vocum express the resonant qualities of two voices he "sees" when experiencing specific tonal chords.
“Vocum 21" has a striking yet harmonious colour design, informed by my sound-as-colour synaesthesia. The notion of sound and colour perceived together is reflected in Vocum's design, and is deeply personal.”
Pierluigi Pompei, Creative Director
