Milan Salone 2017 Preview: Life cycles

Located in The Wheelshop at Ventura Lambrate, the exhibition explores an array of potential futures by taking inspiration from the past while borrowing from the technologies of the present. The works, which include existing and new designs, have been created in a variety of materials including human hair, and span a range of mediums, from sculptures to textiles.

A highlight is design partnership Rive Roshan’s contribution, which includes its Circadian Tapestry, a kinetic piece crafted from printed cotton and oak, inspired by the cyclical nature of life.

'In a response to the growing awareness of the consequences of our actions we think that as designers we can play a leading role in shaping our future attitudes towards natural resources, production processes and the consumption of goods,' explains the press release.
