BETWEEN MODERNISM & JAPANESE RESONANCE

This exhibition brings together a curated selection of International historical design - furniture, lighting, and ceramics - within a space shaped by architectural memory and material sensitivity.

The curatorial concept draws inspiration from L’Unité d’Habitation de Marseille, the iconic building designed by Le Corbusier in collaboration with Charlotte Perriand, where modularity, raw materials, and bold color coexist in a human-centered vision of modern living.

Echoing the interiors of that seminal project - as well as their later works influenced by Japanese aesthetics - the installation balances structural clarity with tactile warmth. A gentle, cohesive atmosphere grounds the space, with a palette of natural canvas and red tones that recalls the architects’ subtle chromatic compositions.

The installation also draws inspiration from the serene spatial logic of Japanese interiors: wooden sculptural panels, used as dividers, introduce layers and depth to the space, recalling the rhythm and flexibility of traditional sliding doors.
