Milan – Dutch design collective Dutch Invertuals’ Advanced Relics exhibition presents a series of objects that examine physicality in a digital world.

  • The works will be shown at O’ during the 2016 Salone Internazionale del Mobile
  • The exhibition is part of the collective’s wider design route in the city’s Isola district

Curated by Dutch Invertuals founder Wendy Plomp, the exhibition will feature furniture and objects that examine the aesthetics and complexities of the digital world. Featured designers will include Bastiaan de Nennie, Carlo Lorenzetti, Daniel de Bruin and Hongjie Yang. 

To offer visitors a preview of the exhibition theme, the collective created a series of digital Poly-realistic images that represent each designer.

The exhibition is part of a larger design trail called Dutch Design Isola, which will feature works by designers Joost van Bleiswijk and Kiki van Eijk.
