Marsèll presents Double Void, a site-specific project by Odd Matter for Milan Design Week. Over the years, Marsèll has transformed its spaces into environments that go beyond their commercial function, becoming places of research, innovation, and design freedom. The collaboration with Odd Matter perfectly integrates this philosophy: the studio’s strong and conceptually provocative visual language meets the brand’s sensibility to create an immersive experience that is not only visual but also physical and intellectual. The Italian brand Marsèll, over the years, has transformed its Milanese spaces into devices of radical thought that have trained several generations of artists and designers to engage with an uncommon degree of projectual freedom. –Annalisa Rosso 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan Artworks: @oddmatter Artistic Direction: @martinauderzo Text: @lisarosso Sound: @jonacthan @nannosimonis Installation Views: @alessandrosaletta @dsl__studio

Marsèll presents Double Void, a site-specific project by Odd Matter for Milan Design Week. The project plays on the concept of emptiness as an active space, capable of altering the balance of the environment, emphasizing the physical and emotional experience of those who stand inside it. The installation is characterized by verticality, tensions, and misalignments between seemingly static materials, surfaces and reflections. Walking through it, people experience a controlled instability that stimulates attention and curiosity. People are bodies inserted into a field of forces and participate in the alteration of the spatial conditions of equilibrium. An intense experience that echoes the principle of quantum physics according to which a minimal perturbation is sufficient to change state. According to Gurdjieff, mystic, composer and movements teacher of the last century, a shock is necessary for the awakening of consciousness. And is this not perhaps what we all need? –Annalisa Rosso 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan Artworks: @oddmatter Artistic Direction: @martinauderzo Text: @lisarosso Sound: @jonacthan @nannosimonis Installation Views: @alessandrosaletta @dsl__studio

During Milan Design Week 2026, Marsèll’s flagship store in Via della Spiga turns into a laboratory for design experimentation. In collaboration with Odd Matter design studio, Marsèll presents Double Void, a site-specific installation playing on the concept of emptiness as an active space, capable of altering the balance of the environment. In quantum physics, vacuum does not coincide with absence but is the minimum level of energy of a system. There are at least two conditions, true vacuum and false vacuum, but they are only apparently stable states that can collapse with an infinitesimal perturbation, because what appears to be quiet is in fact tension held in suspension. –Annalisa Rosso 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan Artworks: @oddmatter Artistic Direction: @martinauderzo Text: @lisarosso Sound: @jonacthan @nannosimonis Installation Views: @alessandrosaletta @dsl__studio

Marsèll presents Double Void, a site-specific project by Odd Matter for Milan Design Week. Double Void represents the meeting point between two complementary approaches: Marsèll’s ability to transform a space into a device for thought and Odd Matter’s quest to challenge and redefine perceptions of space itself. The outcome is an intense, engaging, and deeply meaningful installation, the result of a natural connection. In a week dominated by claims of comfort and pleasantness, the choice is to generate friction in order to offer visitors a moment of controlled instability, dense with meaning. –Annalisa Rosso 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan Artworks: @oddmatter Artistic Direction: @martinauderzo Text: @lisarosso Sound: @jonacthan @nannosimonis Installation Views: @alessandrosaletta @dsl__studio

Marsell presents Double Void, a site-specific project by Odd Matter for Milan Design Week. The practice of Els Woldhek and Georgi Manassiev, the designers behind Odd Matter, is based on an approach that combines craftsmanship, digital design, and experimentation with materials. Their work emphasizes unpredictability, textures, and details, creating works and installations that encourage dialogue between the environment, forms, and people. In the declared intention of designers Els Woldhek and Georgi Manassiev, Double Void is "not nice, not comfortable, not neutral" but necessary "to notice something, to feel something." –Annalisa Rosso Opening 20 April 2026, 6–9 pm 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan

A sharp intervention that, by introducing site-specific elements into the large flagship store on via della Spiga, transforms its perception, coherent with the Rotterdam-based designers’ fascination with the tech world and with their search for a cutting visual language that proceeds by subtraction, generating an expressiveness that is aggressive and fragile, not through delicacy but through critical condition. –Annalisa Rosso Opening 20 April 2026, 6–9 pm 17 April – 23 May 2026 Marsèll Milano Spiga Via della Spiga 42, Milan
