Snarkitecture and Caesarstone have teamed up to create an installation exploring the changing forms of water, which was set inside an abandoned 19th-century building during this year’s Milan design week.
The Altered States installation was exhibited at Palazzo dell’Ufficio Elettorale di Porta Romana during this year’s Milan design week, which came to a close yesterday, 22 April 2018.
The abandoned building, completed in the 19th-century, was opened up to the public for the first time in 14 years throughout the duration of the festival.
For the installation, Snarkitecture looked at water as a kitchen ingredient, looking at its changing states both in nature – as glacier, river and geyser – and in the kitchen – as ice, liquid and steam.
“The initial brief from Caesarstone was to focus on the kitchen island and to really think about it as the hub of the home – a place where we cook, eat, entertain, work, interact and socialise,” Snarkitecture co-founder Alex Mustonen told Dezeen.
