Milano Design Week

Salone del Mobile and Fuorisalone 2024


An “Extraordinary” installation between art and architecture

Elica, in collaboration with Fondazione Ermanno Casoli, transforms the courtyard of Palazzo Litta with a striking installation designed by Japanese design studio we+.

A work inspired by the lightness of clouds, creating a continuous flow in the alternation of tones that evoke air and warmth. A surprising and immersive installation in which to live a sensory experience. Elica returns to the Fuorisalone with a site-specific project, entitled Straordinaria, designed by Japanese studio we+, and curated by Marcello Smarrelli, artistic director of Fondazione Ermanno Casoli. 

"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.
