An exhibition of ephemeral domestic spaces where materials come to life in visually striking, modern settings. Through six distinct rooms, each telling a unique story, Camere con Vista blends contemporary design with timeless craftsmanship, offering fresh perspectives on domestic spaces. By highlighting cutting-edge materials and innovative approaches, the exhibition aims to inspire architects and industry professionals to explore new possibilities and challenge traditional construction practices. From visionary architects of the past to modern wellness-focused design, the rooms celebrate the fusion of Italian and Greek heritage with forward-thinking artistry. The exhibition is designed and curated by Ciarmoli Queda Studio, with lighting design by Luun and landscape design by Eva Papadimitriou.
As Athens continues to establish itself as a vibrant hub of creativity, The Architect Show (tAS) plays a vital role in pushing the boundaries of design. Situated at the crossroads of the Mediterranean and Balkan regions, the city has become a platform for new ideas and talent, contributing to the evolution of global design. Camere con Vista is part of the renewed tAS initiative, combining diverse media to showcase the transformative power of materials in shaping the future of design. With its dynamic creative scene, Athens is rising as a new centre for design, where innovation meets tradition in a universal language.
