SolidNature & OMA, Beyond The Surface
SolidNature displayed a wonderland exhibition at Milan Design Week, ‘Beyond The Surface’ designed by Ellen Van Loon and Giulio Margheri of OMA.
Set in the basement of the Neo-Romanesque Casa Maveri, visitors ventured into a parallel universe below ground, and into the realm of sleep. The exhibition included a series of illusory installations responding to themes such as ‘Confrontation’, ‘Revelation’ and ‘Patience’ – each exhibiting various approaches to designing with natural stone.
