German manufacturer Poggenpohl is welcoming guests to its Milan Design Week exhibition, showcasing the kitchen as much more than a functional object, but rather as a stand-alone sculpture that provides an atmospheric spatial experience. 'Gravity of Light' presents objects in which light appears to dissolve gravity in conjunction with the static structure.
The exhibition will take place in the rooms of the expressive and historic Palazzo Landriani, in the heart of the Brera design quarter. The presentation will focus on the large main hall on the ground floor, where visitors will be greeted by three studies of the +MODO. The theme of the exhibit will be brought to life by increasing the light intensity and opulence with each exhibit in a build-up of suspense.
A filigree metal structure provides the architectural basis for the +MODO concept kitchens. With pull-out trays and only one central cabinet element, it creates two almost open levels. The ensemble is rounded off by the worktop, which appears to float, emphasising the lightness of the design.
The surface lighting technology, developed exclusively for the exhibition objects, enables uniform lighting of the natural stone worktop from the inside. Individual mood lighting is made possible by adjusting the colour and intensity of the light. Additional spots can be individually directed to beautifully highlight favourite pieces. The light transforms the +MODO concept kitchen into a sculptural object and creates a fascinating spatial experience.
