Container/Carpet combines architecture, art, and design to generate an experience. Container is a conversion of an industrial warehouse into an elegant, multifunctional space. Carpet is an art installation by Maurizio Molini showcasing a new product line. Four porcelain-covered walls suspended from the ceiling generate three dynamic corridors on a carpet-like tile floor arrangement, forming a 40x40-foot square. The installation echoes the Mediterranean environment while serving as a metaphor for the urban house.
