Some objects solve problems. Some objects are problems — lodged in the world like a question that refuses to close.

This is the second kind of work.

A chocolate form designed to be worn on the body, broken against the skin, and consumed. A desk object whose structural holes are the street map of a city — functional, silent, legible only to those who already know. A stool shaped as a scaled-up medical suppository, named with an anagram, aimed vertically at the people who run things. Objects that move between use and statement without settling in either.

The practice does not have a category because the interesting problems do not have categories. Some pieces have been in production for twenty years. Some exist in single editions. Some have sat in collector hands in Las Vegas, Hong Kong, Venice. None of them were made to fill a gap in the market.

Corrado Tibaldi trained at the Politecnico di Torino and the Royal College of Art in London — institutions where, at the time, the question of what an object is allowed to mean was still being argued seriously. That argument has not been resolved. This work continues it.

CTplatform.ch is the archive: incomplete by design, incoherent by necessity, and open to commission for those who want something that has not been made yet.
