Coexist
by FORMA ROSA STUDIO
Forma Rosa Studio presents Coexist, a solo exhibition during Milan Design Week 2025. Searching for resilience in a time of uncertainty, Coexist transforms an underground bunker where biomorphic ceramic lighting sculptures act as nature itself, reclaiming a manufactured space with organic forms and luminous glow. These installations embody the symbiotic cycle between human creation and natural regrowth, revealing how designed light can mimic nature's persistent ability to transform rigid structures.
The New York-based Forma Rosa Studio led by Maria Castillo and Santiago Braby Brown will present a new series of architectural lighting pieces, whose processes marry an unusual combination of advanced coding, slip casting, and ceramic glaze work techniques. The extension of their Botryoidal and Wave collections into large scale sculptural lighting and decorative pendants is a result of the studio’s ongoing exploration in crafting nature, a contemplation on how our objects and spaces coexist with our natural surroundings.
