The famous design epicenter in Milan, Superstudio Più, has been livened up once again with the gently rebellious tunes of Slovenian designer, Nika Zupanc, who launched her own universe of designs. All neatly packed in to the Wind Pavilion – the design capital’s new landmark created through the use of versatile modular façade system Qbiss by trimo.
Salone del Mobile is seen as the world’s greatest annual event in design and furniture. As part of this event, the exhibition Temporary Museum of New Design, curated by Giulio Cappellini and Gisella Borioli, showcased the most relevant designers and companies of today.
This year’s Superstudio Più was marked by the intriguing flare of Nika Zupanc. With her exhibition Gone with the Wind, Nika continues to be sincere while uncovering the excuses for a socially acceptable status quo. By positioning archetypes that are considered feminine in the carefully selected centers of public attention her chillingly beautiful forms become emerging reference points. Her battles are of a higher style, and so the presence of famous female literary heroines remains mandatory.
The entry point to the world of Nika Zupanc – a frame for her gallery and a prism for readings of her work – is also a metaphorical structure. It is a tiny house driven by toy-like windmills on the outside and with a big bang of connotations from the inside. The Wind Pavilion stands as an icon evoking a sense for nature.
This pavilion was created using unique modular façade system Qbiss by trimo. Optically smooth surfaces, unique rounded corner elements, and “shadow joints” allow great freedom of expression and enable an optically enchanting combination of an inclined grid and an attractive landscape of 45 windmills.
Trimo is one of Europe’s leading companies offering complete solutions for fireproof roofs and facades. More than on its physical products, the company basis its growth on innovative development and project solutions, customized approaches, and a combination of high aesthetics, design values, and flexible solutions with economically acceptable mas-produced products.
The exhibition was supported by Public Agency of the Republic of Slovenia for Entrepreneurship and Foreign Investments – JAPTI.
