STRATA: UNIFYING TEXTURE and VISION 

Four Belgian designers converge for an exclusive exhibition titled STRATA during Salone del Mobile. The works of Tim Vranken, Middernacht & Alexander, and Linde Freya Tangelder—the founder of design studio Destroyers/Builders—will be showcased from 7th to 13th April in an area within the Fondazione Prada district.

Although their material selections vary, these Belgian designers, for whom texture is the key element in their work, will present their unique approaches within a unified narrative thanks to the STRATA exhibition.

STRATA will reveal not only through material and form, but also through a consistent scenography that unveils the spaces between the works, the emerging contrasts and proximities, and the dynamic interaction between individual expression and collective presence.

If you wish to visit STRATA, mark your calendar and note the address: Via Rutilia 10/9, Milan.

 

DESIGNER NOTES

- Tim Vranken: Focused on handcrafted furniture, Vranken emphasizes the use of pure materials and natural processes. He has a deep appreciation for the raw beauty of wood, embracing its natural flaws rather than concealing them.

 

- Sofie Middernacht & Maarten Alexander: This duo delves into the psychological aspects of everyday life, exploring the intriguing interplay between privacy and exposure. Their work often features materials that, if left untreated, oxidize or decay—capturing a fleeting yet captivating essence.

 

- Linde Freya Tangelder: As the founder of Destroyers/Builders, Tangelder is dedicated to achieving sensory congruence and cultural resonance in design, continually pushing the boundaries of tactile and visual innovation.
