Opposites United: Journey of Reflection

Kia Design Exhibition of Experience: a major immersive exhibition and a week-long live program that brings the brand’s philosophy and the most interesting voices of the international scene to the city.
Special Mention Fuorisalone Award
Engagement & Interaction

Opposites United: Journey of Refection is an invitation into the inner world of the designer.

Here, visitors experience the cultural frame of Opposites United, how concepts are produced and refined, and its fundamental profiles: Culture Vanguard, Creative Risk-takers,Relentless Innovators. Each artwork is shaped by these three culture characteristics. Attitudes that are not confined to a single message, but unfold across multiple layers of meaning and interpretations, extending the designer's gaze and underlying mindset into the visitor's own experience.

Here, design is not explained. It is discovered through the act of gazing, daring, and musing: three perspectives that hasten new connections and possibilities, inviting visitors to encounter the essence of Kia's design philosophy.
