Milan, Italy
L’Oasi Microarchitettura, created by Massimo Iosa Ghini and landscape architect Silvia Ghirelli is a temporary installation, designed for the Milan Design Week, as a conceptual space where visitors can experience a biophilic architectural concept that promotes well-being and tranquility through natural light, air, and sensory perception.
Massimo Iosa Ghini has placed inside the Oasis space a modular sofa he designed for Felis, named Float.
Float possesses soft, sinuous, organic lines to inhabit domestic spaces in harmony with nature.
Far from the strains of glamour, this project seeks a new normality, the warmth of the welcome, and the rediscovery of the rhythms of “slow living.”
“Float comes from an organic idea generated by biomorphic forms,” explains architect Massimo Iosa Ghini.
“There is a link with the bold curvilinear tradition that characterizes me; however, my current vocation is more related to a softer naturalness, an evolution of what I was doing before. Today I prefer less aesthetically forced lines to return to the softness of the body. Float’s organic forms are more congruent with who we are, anatomically speaking.”
The architect has created the Oasis Installation as part of the Design Re-Evolution exhibition, organized by INTERNI magazine, and will be open to the public from April 17-26 at the Università Statale in Milan.
L’ Oasi Microarchitettura will be a subject for discussion where the architect will talk bout the creative process and the inspiration behind his work, during the Milan Design Week 2023.
