During this year’s Milan Design Week, American designer Misha Kahn is set to present a collection of new works at an exhibition inside the Capsule Plaza venue.
Known for his experimental approach to materials and form, Kahn will transform the space into a surreal, tactile landscape that explores concepts surrounding cosmology and the natural world.
At the heart of the exhibition will be a series of mirrors titled “Azimuth”. The title of the pieces comes directly from a word which, in layman’s terms, is used to describe the direction of a celestial object from the observer. “What I liked about it, is that the viewer is at the epicenter of this cosmic challenge,” Kahn says, expanding on the concept and its relation to the mirrors as an object. “It seemed to reflect our desire to measure ourselves against our abyss, here illustrated by radiating rectangular irises of color.”
