Installations at Salone 2024
“Interiors by David Lynch: A Thinking Room” (Pavilions 5-7) is a unique installation conceived by renowned filmmaker David Lynch. It features two mirrored “thought rooms” symbolising portals into an immersive experience. Curated by Antonio Monda, the installation invites visitors to explore Lynch’s cinematic language, which delves into the realms of dreams and nightmares, challenging conventional interpretations. The Thinking Room, bathed in blue velvet, serves as a meditative space where visitors can lose and rediscover themselves, blurring the lines between artistry and personal introspection.
Meanwhile, “Under the Surface” (Pavilion 10) presents an innovative exploration of sustainable water use in bathroom design. Designed by Accurat, Design Group Italia, and Emiliano Ponzi, this installation resembles a submerged island, offering a visually engaging and educational narrative on environmental consciousness. Through dynamic data visualisation, it highlights technological advancements in water protection within bathroom furnishings. The project underscores the importance of delving beneath surface-level analyses, encouraging deeper understanding and fostering responsible consumer behaviour.
