Milan Design Week 2024: Design Duo Double Feature

Design Duo Double Feature is an exploration work that researches the multipotential of materials and surfaces starting from the concept of the duo: six pairs of designers have been invited to design furnishing elements with dual use, created by combining the group’s materials. The products will also be presented within the context of a double set-up - indoor and outdoor - created by the design duo Studioboom.

Selected by curator Federica Sala, CARA \ DAVIDE, DWA Design Studio, Martinelli Venezia, Næssi Studio, mist-o and Zanellato/Bortotto, - will give life to objects that explore new multifaceted functions, juggling transformability, mobility, sustainability, and versatility.

“I have always been fascinated by how, in architecture and design to a greater extent than in other disciplines, a number of creative duos are active. A creative couple, whether their relationship is purely professional or also extends to their private life, have to perfect the difficult art of dialogue and mediation in order to successfully combine the input of two different minds in a single design solution. To illustrate the exceptional versatility of FENIX®, either alone or in combination with other materials, we decided to multiply the number of minds involved in the project to encourage lateral thinking and, consequently, double projects: in form, function, transformation…” Federica Sala
