"The installation functions as a sensory path, using water, light, and clay to physically guide visitors through the different stages of ceramic production - from its raw, liquid origins to its final, fired form."
"By treating industrial waste as a premium resource rather than a byproduct, the duo transforms the necessity of green production into a space that honors the value of recovered materials."
"Aligned with the 'Materiae' theme, the creative partnership explores how the fundamental elements of ceramic production - water, light, and clay - can be harnessed through circular design."
"The project marks VitrA Bathroom and Tiles' twentieth year in Milan by subverting the traditional lifecycle of ceramic."
The 'Ceramics Forged in Light' installation at Milan Design Week 2026, created by Snøhetta and VitrA Bathrooms and Tiles, challenges perceptions of industrial waste. It features a sensory path that guides visitors through the stages of ceramic production, emphasizing sustainability with the launch of the nova vita recycled tile collection and a recycled ceramic washbasin. The collaboration reflects a commitment to circular design, treating industrial waste as a valuable resource and exploring the elemental aspects of ceramic production, including water, light, and clay.
