RIOS brings to life a thought-provoking exhibition that replicates the natural yet fleeting occurrence of a Southern California Superbloom to unite the Milan Design Week audience in a shared experience. Superbloom will welcome visitors to a vivid sensory-filled exhibition that orients them through three rooms – the Rain Room, Sprout Room, and Bloom Room – each building a crescendo of activity as one approaches the final space.
These rooms create simulations of biological processes such as the watering, propagation, and blooming of wildflowers, a phenomenon globally but particularly spectacular in Southern California. Simultaneously, these experiences serve as parallels to our understanding of memory: a catalyst, memory formation, and the recalling of a powerful yet fleeting experience.
