Curator Federica Sala presents a look at the new Design Duo Double Feature exhibition. It explores the idea of balance and duality from the perspective of FENIX, which is a progressive materials brand. This is made for Arpa Industriale and aims to explore the potential of materials and surfaces. The exhibition taps the talents of six pairs of designers to create something using the brand's dual-use furnishing components.
Federica Sala explains, “I have always been fascinated by how, in architecture and design to a greater extent than in other disciplines, a number of creative duos are active. A creative couple, whether their relationship is purely professional or also extends to their private lives, has to perfect the difficult art of dialogue and mediation in order to successfully combine the input of two different minds in a single design solution.”
