The studio begins a new collaboration as Art Direction and Design Management Consultant for Continuum by Gebrüder Thonet Vienna, presented in the Salone d’Onore at Triennale Milano, with Concept and Exhibition Design curated 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 a dialogue with the contemporary language of internationally renowned artist Quayola, the GTV heritage is renewed as an expression of an evolving identity, rooted in a harmonious balance between human gesture, art, and technology.

The exhibition approaches the archive as an active material, placed in 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 and synesthetic environment. Its imagery, produced through a digital language that reinterprets underlying structures, reveals how the transition between eras and media does not interrupt continuity, but rather reconfigures it. The same principle informs the exhibition design: elements, materials, and rhythms construct a narrative through 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 converge to imagine new ways of inhabiting the world.
