Spazio Nobile is proud to introduce the Original Paper Pleats Lounge Chair by Taiwanese artist Pao Hui Kao at the Presentation of the Fondazione Dries Van Noten. — Fondazione Dries Van Noten Palazzo Pisani Moretta San Polo, 2766, 30125 Venice, Italy 25 April – 4 October 2026 — THE ONLY TRUE PROTEST IS BEAUTY Curated by Dries Van Noten with Geert Bruloot. This Presentation is an exploration of beauty as a charged encounter, capable of unsettling the familiar and making space for the unexpected. At Palazzo Pisani Moretta, craftsmanship engages emotion and material inquiry in a constellation formed through mastery, set in dialogue with the historic architecture that houses it. Works by diverse creatives converge in relation to one another, drawn together by affinity or held in productive contrast, revealing the human intensity of making. Here, creation becomes a practice of questioning, an experience of exchange, a field of possibility. #paohuikao #fondazionedriesvannoten #paperpleats #spazionobile #spazionobilegallery

A Week Ago @artbrussels with Taiwanese artist Pao Hui Kao within her LUNISOLAR HOUSE presented by Spazio Nobile and part of HORIZONS, a new museal section of Art Brussels, curated by Devrim Bayar, Senior Curator KANAL - Centre Pompidou, 23-26 April 2026. — An Illusion of Shelter When crises strike—be they environmental disasters, social unrest or personal rupture—the idea of home reveals itself to be as fragile as paper. Our walls, administrations, nations, families: each presents the illusion of permanence, yet remains vulnerable to collapse. This art installation asks a fundamental question: If home is but a temporary skin, what does it mean to dwell?

Spazio Nobile is pleased to present THE LUNISOLAR HOUSE by Taiwanese artist Pao Hui Kao. In this mesmerising piece, Pao Hui Kao invites us to reimagine the home as a delicate threshold, a shelter shaped by light, breath, silence and vulnerability, rather than a fortress. Using humble yet transcendent materials such as folded tracing paper and rice glue, the artist has created a space that is both architectural and meditative: a sanctuary without walls; a chapel without doctrine; a horizon where fragility is transformed into a new form of strength and beauty. — Drawing from Gaston Bachelard’s poetic reflections on the house as a space of daydreaming, and Martin Heidegger’s meditation on building and dwelling, THE LUNISOLAR HOUSE proposes that shelter is not a physical guarantee but a spiritual gesture—a fold in time where one pauses to breathe. Paper, in Pao Hui Kao’s practice, is not decorative. It is existential. Tracing paper, folded with ritual precision, becomes both structure and metaphor: it can bear weight, yet remains vulnerable to tear, the paper remains pure, uncoated. White, bare and honest. Paper Pleats consists of successive layers of tracing paper, rolled and adhered with rice glue to form a honeycomb structure that can be transformed into functional furniture. Original Paper Pleats preserves the material’s translucency within a mysterious, origami-like form reminiscent of a sea sponge. “The experience of paper and color brings back memories of my childhood: the light and colours of the jungle from the mountains in the Wulai region (New Taipei City), south of Taipei, where waterfalls and hot springs emerge.” - Pao Hui Kao Video by Alexandre Fouquet Photography @studio__mass @hugardandvanoverschelde Design of THE LUNISOLAR HOUSE @pao_hui_kao Production @spazionobilegallery Presented on Art Brussels, Horizons, curated @devrim_bayar @kanal.centrepompidou #paohuikao #artinstallations #thelunisolarhouse #spazionobilegallery #spazionobile

The LUNISOLAR HOUSE by Pao Hui Kao is a Paper Pleats Shelter of the Five Continents. Its presence was stunning in hall 6 @artbrussels . We had the pleasure to welcome Bart Ouvry, director of the Africa Museum in Tervuren, a close friend of us and of Spazio Nobile as well as Philippe Blondin, president of the Jewish Museum of Belgium (Musée Juif de Belgique) in Brussels since 2007 with his wife Marisa. - Made of folded tracing paper and rice glue, the shelter rises like a breath suspended in stillness. Passing through the fold, visitors enter an interior of untouched white paper: The Inner Chamber. Each pleat captures light like soft skin. It is a space emptied of image, ornament, narrative—a return to elemental presence. Inside The Inner Chamber, the Paper Pleats Bench, a sculptural spine inviting visitors to sit, to dwell, to share silence in proximity to strangers. It is both object and invitation, linking human bodies through quiet contemplation. #paohuikao #thelunisolarhouse #artbrussels #spazionobile spazionobilegallery

The Lunisolar House, before the lights went up. It begins with the artist: two portraits for the gallery’s vision. The rest of these frames document the silence of its making. Over three days in Eindhoven, I watched Pao Hui Kao fold paper into structure. A visual essay of delicate paper, waiting hands, and the quiet atmosphere where fragility becomes strength.
