Flowers and jewelry for the room of Love, understood as Courtship, filled with vitrines creating a full-fledged forest

It’s a matter of balance and weight.
Designing a temporary installation means, on the one hand, taking responsibility for the permanent design of a temporary event, and on the other hand, skillfully maneuvering between three variables: the hosting venue, with its character and configuration; the items to be exhibited, with their own visual and spatial qualities; and the system used to showcase the works, with its own expressive and design scope.
