The former slaughterhouse in viale Molise comes back to life with Alcova for the FuoriSalone 2023, through many projects that highlight research and innovation, inviting the viewer to reflect on various issues
There are queues to enter: so to enter see Alcova it is better to know first what you will find. The short answer is: a lot of experimental design. This is an environment that will appeal to those looking for small but intense projects, sometimes complex and that can be explained through the stories of those who designed them (also due to the curatorial choice of the Grima-Ciuffi which prevents the display of signs for exhibitors).
[...] The area 'il Covo' is divided into three floors.
In the C20 space, Barbini Specchi Veneziani presents the Back to The Future collection in collaboration with various designers – Rio Kobayashi, Lucia Massari, Laura Satin, Elena Trevisan, Victoria Wilmotte, Bethan Laura Wood – who take on the challenge of reinterpreting the brand's classic mirror.
Each product is a different result from the others, some have a more eccentric and playful look, while others are the result of a more geometric line. At the center of the space there is a room that wants to connect the past, what was once Barbini Specchi Veneziani, with the present that engages in new challenges of evolution not only of the material but also of the form.
