The studio begins a new collaboration as Art Direction Consultant and Design Management Advisor for Continuum by Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, presented in the Salone d’Onore at Triennale Milano, with Concept and Exhibition Design by the studio. A project in which the historical archive is transformed into a living field of research, where memory and innovation meet in a continuous dialogue between past and present. Through the reinterpretation of iconic pieces and the engagement with the contemporary language of international artist Quayola, GTV’s heritage is renewed as the expression of an evolving identity, rooted in a harmonious balance between human gesture, art, and technology.
Continuum, Thonet Vienna
The exhibition treats the archive as active material, brought into dialogue with a contemporary artistic dimension through its relationship with Quayola’s Transient, Impermanent Paintings, a generative audiovisual installation in which sound and image are deeply interconnected. A custom developed computational system simultaneously generates abstract visual compositions and musical scores, shaping a contemplative, synesthetic environment. Its imagery, produced through a digital language that reinterprets underlying structures, reveals how transitions between eras and media do not interrupt continuity, but rather reconfigure it. The same principle informs the exhibition project: elements, materials, and rhythms construct a narrative in which visitors can perceive the tension between memory and contemporaneity. Continuum becomes an open field where design reveals itself as an evolving process, a place where technology and design culture come together to imagine new ways of inhabiting space.
