Elena Salmistraro, one of the most eccentric and recognised voices of contemporary design, presents her first solo exhibition: a fascinating journey between design, art and material experimentation, where the concept of emptiness becomes a space of creative and alchemic transformation. 

The exhibition is divided into a path where materials such as ceramic, glass and metal are combined in unprecedented concrete alchemies, giving life to a symbolic and poetic universe that embraces the sinuous and organic forms typical of Salmistraro's expressive language.

Curated by Silvana Annicchiarico.
