Matter and SHAPE : a vibrant community dedicated to contemporary design

For its third edition, MATTER and SHAPE not only confirmed its prominent place in the design landscape but, above all, continued to push the boundaries of what a trade fair can be. More than just an exhibition, the event established itself as a truly vibrant community, united around a unique collective experience.
Designed by the studio JA Projects, the two pavilions established a distinctive architectural signature (hemp bricks and stained pine). The theme “Scale“—a nod to Rem Koolhaas and Bruce Mau’s cult book S, M, L, XL—invited visitors to rethink proportions, exploring the tension between the everyday object and the monumental scale.
