Versatile and infinite creativity in 3D
The new space in Miami offers COMPAC the chance to once again showcase its ambitious commitment; in-house research and the latest technology. In a 147 m2-space, a unique setting is created to display innovative sustainable materials and exclusive designs. The space brings together the most brilliant minds to create large-scale sculptural works. The artistic perspective can be experienced through impressive three-metre slabs. They sublimely capture the possibilities of the material and colour palette. In turn, the huge solid 3D-sculpted pieces, such as QuartzRock by Arik Levy, demonstrate the versatility in each of COMPAC’s products. All the applications on display at Salon, the Matter Mastering Immersion evince the infinite possibilities offered by the exhibited materials.
The alternatives in nature through Materic Emotion
This journey further stimulates the senses through Materic Emotion; an 80 m2 room dedicated to expressing the versatile uses of one of the most sustainable and innovative materials developed by the company: Terrazzo COMPAC.
The immersive insightful space was designed by Elisa Ossino and offers a chance to appreciate the fullest expression of Terrazzo COMPAC in every detail.
This exquisite sensual experience of Materic Emotion is enhanced by the material used in large scale formats on walls. Surfaces offering a sculpted curved morphology that showcases the material’s tender finesse. The space provides unexpected sensations that invite visitors to discover the world of COMPAC.
Ossino’s magical sculptural application embodies her inherent passion when working with materials. Especially where space, light, and objects meld together. This is where they can be transformed into an exceptional exclusive work evoking the purity and magnitude of classic designs transferred to the now. The symbiosis represents the tireless and inherent innovation and versatility of the material used to create her designs.
A sensual transfer through an artistic use of COMPAC materials which transforms these materials into artistic expression. All allowing for sparking emotions and stimulating the senses.
