Formafantasma_

Tacchini Flock

Overview _Reworked from the inside out, through a technique inspired by antique mattress production which replaces industrial foam with surplus sheep wool, four iconic upholstered seating options have been re imagined. The exhibition reveals the research conducted by Tacchini and Formfantasma to ensure comfort and respect of the original designs, while spearheading a new mode of fabrication that reflects contemporary environmental concerns.

La Prairie The Cobalt Room_

Sabine Marcelis

Overview _A collaboration between Swiss luxury house La Prairie and awarded designer Sabine Marcelis where the brand’s iconic cobalt blue takes central stage. The result is a dining space featuring Bauhaus-inspired pieces, characterized by clean lines and purity of forms, which would host a series of intimate dinners.

“It’s always great to see Sabine’s artistry and attention to detail when it comes to form and honouring a material. To see her collaborate with La Prairie and to celebrate their brand colour in such a refined and flawless way is testament to her as a designer.”

Byredo Bal D’Afrique_ Dozie Kanu

Overview _Collaborating with Byredo, multimedia artist Dozie Kanu created an exhibit that explored malleability of memory by using Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique perfume as it’s inspiration. The exhibition began with visitors applying the scent and then centred around an intriguing pavilion where intriguing pieces from Kanu’s archive, objects that tightrope between design and art, were displayed.

Dimore Studio_

Silence

Overview _ A collection of container-like structures hold beautifully designed Dimore interiors, which visitors viewed through windows or peep holes. Each interior was styled to look as though the inhabitant just left the room - bowls of half-eaten pasta, a recently stubbed cigarette, a dinner party in progress - and all were matched with an evocative soundscape and scent.

“Dimore studio’s exhibition within their new gallery space overpowered all the senses, by placing yourself in the rooms with powerful scents and music added to the eclectic atmosphere of each space, giving you a curated glimpse into each of their room sets.”

Noroo Group_ Mirage

Overview _ A colourful and immersive installation self styled as “dreamlike and rarefied as the visions of mirages”. Visitors entered through an atmospheric room of colourful totems to then be immersed within the next room of iridescent forms and reflective surfaces.
