Exhibitions
From new interpretations of masters of the 20th century like Antoni Gaudí and Verner Panton, to radical research on living materials, to poignant reflections on the climate – especially in the runup to the Winter Olympics – as well as on our longing for objects, on sound, on the spaces we live in... here is a selection of exhibitions you cannot afford to miss, to keep your curiosity alive and your creative muscles in top shape

A favoured furnishing accessory bestowing character on any room, playing on unusual shapes and referencing art and nature
Rugs go back thousands of years – the most ancient one dates back to the fifth or sixth century B.C., and was discovered in a tomb in Siberia. It is now preserved in the Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. This particular furnishing accessory is one of the products where the imagination of the designers and the skill of the craftsmen and manufacturing companies really shine.
Starting with their shapes, now becoming increasingly less geometric, exploring irregularities, proceeding with patterns frequently referencing art masterpieces, and ending with increasingly striking colours, brilliant hues, using materials with innovative textures, and workmanship that also draws on traditional, ancient techniques. Inspiration is everywhere – art, nature, philosophies and cultures such as the one on which the ancient Japanese Kintsugi art of repairing broken ceramics is based.
