CASE STUDY – STATEMENT OF INTENT
DESIGN
In the industrial setting of BIG HQ’s top floor in Copenhagen, objects of raw and uncompromising materiality resonate with the tectonics and aesthetics of their surroundings. Their geometry – at once ordered and disturbed – engages in a dialogue with the concrete volumes, open floor plates, and slender raw aluminium windows that frame views of the Nordhavn harbour.

The wearable objects Yuta Ishihara makes under the moniker Shihara play tricks on us. “The hardware is in focus, incorporated into the design itself,” says Ishihara.
LAKE COME DESIGN FESTIVAL 2025
The city of Como once again hosted the seventh edition of the Lake Como Design Festival, under the theme Fragments. The festival invited visitors to reflect on fragmentation not as a sign of rupture, but as a catalyst for creative rebirth, for the preservation of memory, and for a regenerative approach to design.
