Meet us from 17–23 April at Capsule Plaza: a hybrid between fair and collective exhibition, bringing together designers and companies from various creative fields. Capsule Plaza will unveil a new extension of the space—a striking former garage across the street, renovated by architect Paolo Caracini and Laboratorio Permanente. Plaza Lounge in Spazio Maiocchi, during Design Week 2023 is a harmonious symbiosis of archetypal typologies and style. Integrated light feature Color Tune technology promotes wellbeing and focus, through Team Cowork. In an installation designed by architect Paul Cournet, New Tendency’s Standard Sofa, their minimalist Float Shelves, as well as iconic luminaire Team Cowork by GRAU, are combined into striking geometric clusters. Co-Creating comes easy when divers parts come together as one. The exhibition's diverse lineup includes installations by Dozie Kanu for Byredo Bal d’Afrique, Snarkitecture for Gufram, Sabine Marcelis for La Prairie, Armature Globale for On, Formafantasma for Tacchini, and Panter & Tourron for XL Extralight. The installations will be accompanied by a robust program of talks, presentations, and workshops tapping into a wide range of creators—including Willo Perron, Devon Turnbull, Harry Nuriev, Snowcrash, Sucuk & Bratwurst, and Ali Shah Gallefoss—and realized with the collaboration of partners such as Poltrona Frau, Mutina, USM Haller, Flos, Kvadrat, Paulin Paulin Paulin, New Tendency, Grau, Syng, Offecct, Numeroventi, and Slam Jam. The experience is completed by a pop-up Capsule shop, a special collaboration with the gastronomic collective We Are Ona, a temporary bookshop by COMMERCE, a "super car" design by Eugenio Amos, and the opening of a new bar powered by Lavazza. Capsule Plaza is an initiative curated by Capsule’s creative director Alessio Ascari with architect Paul Cournet. The visual identity is created by Swiss art direction studio Kasper-Florio. In tandem with the opening, Capsule will release the second issue of the magazine—an annual publication reinventing the notion of radical design for today.
