Installation, by COS and Snarkitecture
Swedish fashion maison COS and Snarkitecture studio from New York have teamed up to prepare a stunning surprise for Brera Design District visitors. Merging fashion, art, and architecture into one single installation, they used over 100,000 metric tons of translucent strips of white fabric to create a cave-like space. Walking through this tunnel bounded by light and fluctuating bands suspended from the ceiling, one dives into an abstract world of purity and simplicity reflecting the fashion company’s image and philosophy.
Tunnel of Light Installation, by Foscarini
The “Tunnel of light” is both an art installation and a showcase of Foscarini’s lamps. It is a path made of a rhythmic sequence of red circle arches, which appear to be unlimited thanks to the two mirrored walls at either end of the route.

Suspended Lamp, by Sollos

In his work he often mixes up strong aesthetical, functional and technical solutions, and this lamp is a great example of his design philosophy. It is a play of subtle weights’ equilibrium, elegant proportions, and complementary materials.
