The Design Duo Double Feature project, curated by Federica Sala, will be hosted within the spaces of FENIX Scenario, Via Quintino Sella 1, Milan.
Held during Milan Design Week 2024, the Design Duo Double Feature is an exploration work that combines FENIX® materials with the group’s other brands – Arpa®, Formica® and Homapal®.
Six pairs of designers have been invited to design furnishing elements with a dual use. The products will also be presented within the context of a double set-up – indoor and outdoor – created by the design duo Studioboom.
Selected by curator Federica Sala, CARA\DAVIDE, DWA Design Studio, Martinelli Venezia, Næssi Studio, mist-o and Zanellato/Bortotto will give life to objects that explore new multifaceted functions, juggling transformability, mobility, sustainability and versatility.
Like the furnishings, the design of the installation created by Studioboom also interprets the theme of doubles. The contrasting textures and sophisticated colour combinations of the surfaces accompany the itinerary in a layout that winds its way between indoor and outdoor spaces, creating six areas in which to explore and experiment.
For FENIX® and the other Broadview brands, the project becomes an opportunity to explore the field of furniture design along with Italian and international designers, proposing surprising uses of surfaces and original solutions.
“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 life, have 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. To illustrate the exceptional versatility of FENIX®, either alone or in combination with other materials, we decided to multiply the number of minds involved in the project to encourage lateral thinking and, consequently, double projects: in form, function, transformation…” Federica Sala
