FENIX prepares to participate in the ‘An Italian Affair’ exhibition

 Monday, May 27, 2024

Known as one of the excellent designers and producers of panels with high-quality HPL technology, Arpa is all set to participate in the ‘An Italian Affair’ exhibition. Its FENIX® will participate in the 2024 edition of the 3 Days of Design in Copenhagen by presenting its Design Duo Double Feature project as part of the ‘An Italian Affair’ exhibition, set to be hosted in the glamorous setting of the Italian Ambassador’s royal residence in Copenhagen.

Under the curation of Claudia Pignatale, ‘An Italian Affair’ honors the elegance, artistry, and inventive spirit of Italian design and craftsmanship. This event showcases the creative endeavors of four distinguished Italian brands, united by their unwavering dedication to design exploration and passion. Joining the lineup alongside FENIX® are Ethimo, Moroso, and Secondome, each adding their unique perspective and expertise to the celebration.

Design Duo Double Feature is a special research project curated by Federica Sala for FENIX®, originally presented during Milan Design Week 2024. An exploratory project aimed at investigating the multiplicity of potential shown by materials and surfaces, rooted in the concept of duality. Six pairs of designers – CARA \ DAVIDE, DWA Design Studio, Martinelli Venezia, Næssi Studio, mist-o and Zanellato/Bortotto – were invited to design dual-use furnishings, which are made by combining FENIX® materials with those produced by the other brands in the Broadview Holding group – Arpa®, Formica® and Homapal® – and offering unexpected uses for the material and surprising solutions.

The objects created by the six designers will be showcased on an unprecedented stage, namely the ambassador’s historic residence, where the highly contemporary nature of their forms and surfaces will make for a stark contrast with the regal and exceptionally ornate interiors they are juxtaposed with.
