"We were inspired by the natural elements, the location and the Extraordinary concept to create an installation where nature, beauty and color come together to offer the public a sensory journey centered on the theme of air. The essence of the brand prompted us to seek an authentic interpretation perspective of its values," say artists Toshiya Hayashi and Hokuto Ando. "The relationship and contact with forms, materials, hues and depth transport the visitor into a unique dimension of connection with the element." The space is expansive and the conversation with the work is intimate. The skillful use of materials, the modularity of forms and space, and the lightness and dynamism of the elements pay homage to the genius, accuracy, dedication and savoir faire of Elica's creations. Elica's installation at Palazzo Litta is open to the public at Milan Design Week from Monday, April 15 to Sunday, April 21, 10 a.m.-7:30 p.m. at Corso Magenta 24, Milan.
