It is designed by Cristina Celestino and Snøhetta and guests are taken on a terracotta tour. This is curated by Cristina Celestino [Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-floris-rubben). The approach is similar to a museum experience as the material journey goes through a range of vignettes that capture the feeling of home. There are three collections that were showcased at the exhibition including the Void range by Snøhetta. It boasts minimal designs with [hand-pressed terracotta](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/terracota-collection) which highlight the soft structures and imperfect accents. The rich texture is detailed with a playful narrative between light and shadow along the surface. The structural element supports the strength of the designs.
