A kaleidoscope of objects, images, words. On the screen amidst hypertexts, videos, photographs and installations, 8 exemplary stories of best practices relating to products, communication strategies and shows.
An enveloping screen inside which getting lost, among many faces and witnesses, a path leading to the installations of the products icon of quality: SKiN, the sofa by Jean Nouvel; Arc, the table by Foster + Partners; Sequence and Night&Day, bookcase and sofa by Patricia Urquiola; the Wafer chair by Monica Armani; the Gliss 5th and Gliss Quick wardrobes by Vincent Van Duysen.
