Renders of the installation, published previously here on Archello, were brought to life by CRA Make at the Fiera Milano exhibition center. Four tons of post-consumer wooden objects were fixed to the facades of a large cubical structure. The physical installation called attention to the very real issue of waste materials in the furniture industry.

‘Wood You Believe?’ installation at Salone del Mobile 2023 calls attention to wood waste
Wood You Believe?, a new installation for Salone del Mobile 2023, is an exploratory collaboration by eco-ethical company Gruppo Saviola, design and innovation practice CRA-Carlo Ratti Associati, and architect Italo Rota. Conceived as an experimental space, the project transforms four tons of post-consumer wooden objects into a structure that calls attention to wood waste. It also features an immersive room that highlights the potential of digital printing as a way of achieving impactful and sustainable bespoke designs. This timely installation questions how design can act to reduce waste and at the same time be inspired by it.

Ezinge
For the education park Ezinge, designed by Atelier PRO architekten, Driessen + Van Deijne made a design of digitally printed glass. The facades, with the dimensions 11 x 21 meter and 18 x 21 meter, opposed to each other, accompany a centrally positioned rising ‘tower’.
