Feeling Good. Caimi design for the future
Cultivating curiosity, fostering interdisciplinary exchange, and nurturing visionary thinking are among the aspects that cannot be missing in a post graduate high-level education.
At the SOS School of Sustainability, we strive to expand the horizons of our students by exposing them to a diverse array of realities and perspectives that intersect with the realm of design and architecture, fostering a holistic understanding.

Therefore, on Tuesday, April 23rd, our master’s students had the enriching opportunity to explore the exhibition 'Feeling Good: Caimi Design for the Future' at the ADI Design Museum. Curated by Aldo Colonetti, Valentina Fisichella, and Luciano Galimberti, sponsored by Caimi company, the temporary installation wants to spark a profound reflection on various facets of contemporary society, including consumerism, sustainable practices, individual and collective well-being in indoor spaces, and the interplay between innovation and tradition.
Guided by Valentina Fisichella and Giorgio Caimi himself, who represents the second generation of Caimi, now celebrating its 75th year, our students gained invaluable insights into the company’s evolution and its role in shaping the future, as well as conceptual and operational aspects about the exhibition and its sustainable layout, designed by Matteo Vercelloni.
Students were led through two tunnels designed to evoke a range of sensory experiences that can be normally felt in a domestic space and workplace, from noise, disorientation, visual and auditory bewilderment to silence and isolation, finally perceiving a balance and peaceful sensation in the last chamber of the installation. This synesthetic journey, mirroring the complexities of our present reality, culminated in an open area dedicated to envisioning the future of the company and industry itself. Here, the importance of ongoing research and development was underscored, emphasizing the pursuit of ambitious yet ethic goals for greater environmental and social sustainability.

The visit to proved to be an immersive experience that allowed our students to engage with thought-provoking concepts realted to the “feeling good” but also provided a rare opportunity to interact with industry leaders in a decontextualized manner.
