Three interconnected, mirrored architectural volumes bring together moving images, visual narratives and tangible design objects to present emerging creative perspectives across interior, visual and product design.

Creating the Next is an immersive journey into the creative vision of Istituto Marangoni Dubai, bringing together craftsmanship, innovation and luxury to explore the future of design. Three interconnected, rotated volumes form a dynamic architectural experience, presenting student projects across interior design, visual design and product design through moving images, visual narratives and tangible design objects.

Clad in mirrored surfaces, the installation reflects Dubai Design District and transforms with changing light, movement and perspective. By night, the volumes visually dissolve into the urban landscape, while illuminated LED edges trace their geometry, creating an interplay between presence and disappearance.

At the centre of the experience, the Istituto Marangoni Design Manifesto expresses a philosophy rooted in heritage, craftsmanship, experimentation and a forward-thinking approach to design. Beyond showcasing student achievements, Creating the Next presents their creative aspirations, inviting audiences to discover emerging perspectives, challenge conventions and envision new possibilities for design.
