WEDGE's Mise en Abyme installation presents a thought-provoking convergence of digital design methodologies and psychological spatial experience during Copenhagen's 3daysofdesign festival. This experimental exhibition recontextualizes the Epoch 2 furniture collection, which was originally conceived for an Alpine hotel, within an atmospheric domestic setting at the Lapidarium of Kings. There, projected fragments from Alain Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad interact with computationally designed furnishings. The result is an immersive environment that challenges conventional perceptions of material permanence and domestic stability. To bring Mise en Abyme to life, WEDGE employed LIDAR scanning and digital modeling techniques to create objects that hover between physical presence and ephemeral illusion.
This avant-garde presentation will particularly engage consumers interested in the philosophical dimensions of contemporary design. The installation's innovative blending of cinematic narrative with tangible objects offers a unique perspective on how digital processes are reshaping our relationship with physical spaces and artifacts.

Key Themes Behind This Trend
- Digital-cinematic Fusion
- The blending of cinematic narratives with digital design methodologies in furniture exhibitions presents a novel way to engage audiences on emotional and intellectual levels.
- Psychological Spatial Experience
- By integrating psychological elements into spatial design, exhibitions can create immersive experiences that alter perceptions of material permanence and stability.
- Computational Furniture Design
- The use of computational design and LIDAR scanning in furniture creation introduces a disruptive approach to rethinking traditional materials and forms.
Where This Applies
- Digital Craftsmanship
- This industry explores the intersection of digital technology and traditional craftsmanship, revolutionizing how design processes shape physical objects.
- Immersive Exhibition Design
- Focused on crafting experiences that engage multiple senses, this industry redefines how audiences interact with and perceive spatial and material narratives.
- Augmented Interior Spaces
- Augmented reality and digital modeling enable the creation of spaces that shift between physical presence and digital illusion, transforming interior design dynamics.
