Metamorphosis: when ceramics lives with technology
Iris Ceramica Group presents "Metamorphosis" at Fuorisalone 2025, an experience that merges art and technology, featuring interactive installations and innovative surfaces.
Preserving the history of an industrial building in Shanghai and its different layers, adding new metal elements to revitalize and redefine the spaces: with this approach the Chinese firm Dongqi Architects has designed Basdban, a multifunctional center that includes a cafeteria, a store, common and event spaces.
To enhance the flexible character of the project, the architects designed a system of ceiling tracks that include lighting, cameras and metal curtains that separate the large spaces as needed.
Handcrafted stainless steel furniture and elements characterise all the interiors: counter stairs, chairs and displays present the same post-industrial language. The architects' approach is clear and recognizable from the entrance, defined by a sliding metal counter-facade.
