Design Week 2025 – “Growing Matter(s)”

“Growing Matter(s)” explores a new design paradigm in symbiosis with Nature, embracing its imperfection and revealing its authenticity, uniqueness, and intrinsic beauty. The ever-evolving installation is rooted in the natural rhythms of life, inviting a sensory and contemplative reconnection. This immersive artwork unfolds within a regular architectural structure, inhabited by a hundred mycelium spheres. While similar in shape and size, each sphere exhibits its own texture and material identity, celebrating the variability and richness of this extraordinary living material.
