Exhibition design for the Salone dell'Alto Artigianato 2025
Showcasing the schools of traditional craftsmanship through a dialogue of light, shadow, and color gradients.
Sketching space with lightness
The "I mestieri dell'arte" (The Crafts of Art) section showcases the schools that pass down the excellence of craftsmanship. The layout integrates with the Arsenale by making use of the building's natural light: we took the Salone's colors and evolved them through the use of gradients to simulate light and shadow, creating a dialogue with the hall's historic volumes. An essential layout that celebrates and showcases the depth of craftsmanship.
