Materia 2.0 celebrates 10 years of moodboards

From a design hub to a trendsetting observatory for 2026

The Materia 2.0 space hosts an immersive exhibition that interprets the theme “Essere Progetto” through 12 mood boards, two of which are large-format. It explores new design languages, transforming products, materials, and textures into a three-dimensional narrative. The mood boards thus function as autonomous exhibition elements, capable of translating insights and experiments into concrete visions of contemporary and future living.

Within the 500-square-meter materials library, visitors are guided through a dialogue between natural, industrial, artisanal, and regenerated materials: from plaster and concrete reinterpreted in a contemporary key to innovative composites and materials derived from textile waste. The mood boards become true design tools, critical instruments that reveal relationships and new expressive possibilities.

To enrich the experience, a 300-page-plus photo book compiles ten years of research on over 500 manufacturers, serving as a manifesto that connects memory and future vision.

Among the selected brands: Barzaghi Salotti, Besana Carpet Lab, Botteganove, Cemento Line, Ceramica Dolomite, CP Parquet, Erco Finestre, Floritelli Cucine, Gypsum, I Conci, Mamoli, Mandelli Maniglie, Ma.Vi. Ceramica, Marca Corona, Marra Pavimenti, Nazena, Pecchioli Firenze, Petracer’s, Quadro Design, Rexa Design, Sivit, Stella Rubinetterie, Velapys, Vetreria Re, Vivaterra, Zava Luce
