Milan Design Week 2023

Milan Design Week 2023

We will present our latest work Reflection and pieces from the Elements collection at the Alcova installation during Milan Design Week 2023. 

Elements is the result of a specific design project with a strict framework, centered around the archetypical light consisting of a base, stem, and illuminating element. This rigorous brief allowed for an in-depth exploration and innovation of specific elements within each light and an extensive analysis of color concepts.

After 3 years of working within self-imposed limits, we were very ready to explore design outside these restraints. It was with a new joy and curiosity that we returned to working more freely with brass, silver, figurative shapes, and decorative elements.

The work presented in Reflection is the result of this thought and design process.

In the 2019 text ‘Hormé’, Areti outlined one of its central design concepts, that of heterogeneity of moods. Objects create specific moods and we believe that spaces are enriched by objects creating a multiplicity of auras.

While each object and its aura must be carefully designed to be perfect in its own character, the combination of different such objects results in a deeper, more complex, and more engaging surrounding.

The Alcova installation, with its mix of pieces from the Reflection and Elements Collections, showcases this concept.

The exhibit includes glass screens by Lidia Covello for Omnidecor.
