During Milan Design Week 2026 (21–26 April), David Heldt from SOLIDIFIED and Sanne Kaal from FINISHED FORMS join forces at VIA FARINI 35 (Isola) to present a collective exhibition exploring coherence through material, form, and composition.

The exhibition examines how distinct objects, materials, and ideas can coexist within one universe – how individuality and contrast can lead to a new sense of unity. Rather than seeking harmony, the exhibition reveals how tension, rhythm, and continuous motion between works can shape unexpected relationships.

Bringing together designers, studios, and brands, the exhibition unfolds as a curated universe of material explorations, functional design, and artistic expression. Each piece stands on its own, yet contributes to an overall composition that unfolds through texture, tactility, and placement.

Sanne Kaal and David Helt carefully selected a combination of a handful of key designers, several product placements, and a few brands to form an extensive and diverse professional network. By combining forces, the project strengthens visibility and outreach, not only for the exhibition itself, but also for the designers, studios, and associated partners involved.
