Alcova 2023 is an incubator of ideas

Alcova 2023 sees the independent design platform bring its radical mix to Milan’s

‘In a phase of transition’ is how Valentina Ciuffi, curator and co-founder of contemporary design platform Alcova, describes the new location for 2023. Just like the showcase itself, the venue – Ex-Macello di Porta Vittoria, a former abattoir, earmarked to become social housing and a museum in its next life – is an experimental hub, a space in-between.

This year’s Alcova includes over 70 projects, and opens with an installation about materiality – ‘It’s a clear way of bringing up the topic of what design should be right now,’ Ciuffi explains. Presented by Finnish platform Habitarematerials, and curated by Nemo Architects, this is an open-air materials library where visitors can touch and interact with samples that educate and inspire before exploring the rest of the exhibition.The theme of materiality unfolds throughout this year’s edition.

Find another sensory experience in ‘Expériences Immobiles’, an olfactory installation designed by DWA to mimic industrial buildings in northern France and encapsulating glass vessels offering the scents of perfume brand Les Eaux Primordiales.
