SuperCity

SuperCity is the project curated by Giulio Cappellini that transforms Superstudio Maxi into an ideal neighbourhood of the future. Architecture, design, art and photography intertwine in an open space, where domestic and outdoor settings take shape through graphic elements and visual interventions, as if in a three-dimensional comic strip. Among the main exhibitions, “When Design Becomes Art” explores the boundary between design and art, whilst “Portraits – photography | design” explores the human side of design through a series of portraits dedicated to leading figures in the contemporary design scene.

Group exhibitions, solo shows and installations interact with one another to create a fluid, multi-sensory experience, enriched by workshops and cultural events such as the talk organised in collaboration with ICFF on the future of urban space. SuperCity offers a total immersion in the city of the future, combining imagination, design and interaction in a single dynamic experience.

At Superstudio Maxi, nothing is as it seems: the boundaries between design, art and architecture dissolve into a spectacular setting. The venue takes the form of a small, ideal neighbourhood, featuring domestic and outdoor spaces, immersive installations and group exhibitions. Each area is designed to evoke different functions and atmospheres: furnishings, textiles, lighting and scenography interact with one another, creating continuous visual and sensory pathways. Iconic furnishings, light installations and temporary architectural structures transform the space into a shared experience that invites reflection on the future of living, the relationship between the individual and the community, and the quality of urban space.
