The sustainable future of a temporary Installation
At the 62nd edition of the Salone del Mobile.Milano, as part of the International Bathroom Exhibition, “Under the Surface”, the installation designed and created by Emiliano Ponzi, Accurat and Design Group Italia offered visitors a new and fascinating educational experience, turning the spotlight on the importance of global water resources and their conservation, the value of the bathroom furniture supply chain’s water footprint and strategies for the responsible and efficient use of our planet’s most precious resource.
A great sunken island for a collective edutainment experience
“Under The Surface” was conceived as a great submerged island, a symbol evoking water as the source of life. The experience was developed through an immersive layout, with a setting inspired by the myth of Atlantis. The mountain reliefs sculpted in EPS(Sintered Expanded Polystyrene) housed projections, holograms and dioramas providing information on global water resources, their conservation and the strategies of the actors in the bathroom furniture supply chain to promote a responsible and efficient use of water.
