Through the work of 12 creatives and designers, the exhibition ‘Obsessive-Inventive’ reflects a personal and collective investigation. An exhibition that explores design as a discipline that questions, questions, discovers. Creation represents both the result and the very essence of obsession, which allows the known to be broken down and recomposed into new forms, going beyond the limits of ordinary thought.

Elena Salmistraro, one of the most eccentric and recognised voices of contemporary design, presents her first solo exhibition: a fascinating journey between design, art and material experimentation, where the concept of emptiness becomes a space of creative and alchemic transformation. 

The exhibition is divided into a path where materials such as ceramic, glass and metal are combined in unprecedented concrete alchemies, giving life to a symbolic and poetic universe that embraces the sinuous and organic forms typical of Salmistraro's expressive language.

Curated by Silvana Annicchiarico.

Two halves of soft upcycled foam intertwine into a unique form that invites physical contact, offering an accessible and tangible experience. Isolated behind the window, the character becomes a provocation: are we still able to engage authentically with the world around us, or are we doomed to remain distant observers, eager to connect but limited in doing so?
