SUPERNOVA - THE PLACE OF THE GREAT MASTERS

Ross Lovegrove, Toyo Ito, Ankon Mitra. Three archistars for three visions of the future. Creative, courageous, free to think, design, and most importantly, dream and make others dream. 

Together with them we explore different ways of thinking about living environments, perhaps influenced by their culture: Japan for Toyo Ito, India for Ankon Mitra, England for Ross Lovegrove.

KARBONY. ON THE EDGE OF CARBON by Ross Lovegrove
Karbony unveils “Infinity,” an experience played on the edge of… carbon. Intertwining lightness and geometry, the carbon fiber thread becomes living material, and space is animated with new perspectives and light plays. Ross Lovegrove presents Gabo 2.0 and Stereometric Method—sculptures where volume arises from air, strength manifests without weight, and creativity soars. Hideo Shimizu contributes with his Infinity bathtub.

NEXT125. AUTHOR KITCHENS by Ankon Mitra
Superstar Ankon Mitra enters the world of next125 kitchens and presents an installation in Milan inspired by “oritecture,” a fusion of origami and architecture. 
This debut marks a focus on experimentation for the next125 kitchen universe. The company inaugurates a collaboration with Ankon Mitra, the renowned architect and sculptor from Delhi. For the occasion, Mitra draws inspiration from the concept of oritecture, a dialogue between origami and architecture, and presents “UN:FOLD”, a dynamic folded aluminum installation. Surrounding a circular pavilion, it shifts perspectives and light, transforming rigid materials into fluid forms. Precision, emotion, and experimentation merge in a harmonious dialogue between design and art.

DESIGN ASSOCIATION. HOUSE OF THE HEART by Toyo Ito
Generations come together to explore the concept of home. Children and star architects reflect on what it means to live today, balancing affection and imagination.
Welcome to “One Earth – The House of the Heart.” What if a home were not just a place, but a feeling to be designed? Visionary Toyo Ito goes beyond merely answering the question. With One Earth – The House of the Heart, he invites 100 children from Japan and Europe to shape their ideal homes, free from rules and conventions. Alongside them, Ito and architects such as Kazuyo Sejima and Sou Fujimoto do the same, designing futuristic studios. The dialogue between innocence and design genius restores to the home its meaning, poetry, emotion, and vision for the future.
