repurposed lava stones set up nerosicilia re-design tower installation for milan design week

Designer LEONARDO TALARICO crafts NEROSICILIA TOWER installation

Leonardo Talarico’s Nerosicilia Re-Design Tower project introduces a temporary installation emphasizing sustainability and the innovative reuse of natural materials. Presented in Milan‘s Brera district from April 13th to 21st, 2024 during Milan Design Week, this off-stage architectural piece serves as a conceptual skyscraper that combines modern art and design with eco-friendly practices.

Re-Design Tower Blends Modern Art with Sustainable Practices

The Re-Design Tower features 400 works of art produced by nerolabstudio, showcasing the aesthetic potential of contemporary design while promoting sustainable approaches. The project draws from Nerosicilia’s historical archive, transforming its materials into new artistic expressions. By placing the installation in Largo Treves, Leonardo Talarico achieves the design’s engagement with Brera’s cultural heritage, merging tradition and modernity. The tower harmonizes urban development with cultural preservation and sustainability.
